Temperate Broadleaf forest
Flora and Fauna:
The broadleaf forest has different
types of plants and animals like redbud, huckleberries, azaleas, mountain
laurel, dogwood, sourwood, and rhododendron and timber wolves, hummingbirds,
white tailed deer’s, and mountain lions
Climate (temperature, precipitation):
Climate (temperature, precipitation):
·
· The temperatures in broadleaf forest are non
growing season it is due to temperature induced by droughts during the cold
winters
· The precipitation of the broadleaf forest is 20
to 60 inches and it is distributes evenly throughout a year
Physical characteristic
The physical characteristic of the
broadleaf forest are the sandy deserts, Pine Barrens, pinewoods, Atlantic
coastal plain, bogs, pine savannahs, and swamps
Environment importance:
·
The environment importance of the broadleaf
forest is that in Europe there is a widespread disappearnce of the oak trees, beeches, and elms dominate. Most of the forest were cleared
for agriculture, and there are some surviving royal hunting preserves
·
The environment importance of the broadleaf
forest is that fossil records and intensive agriculture has caused the region
to be cleared of natural vegetation. In Japan they have a artificial forest but
In the mountains of Korea the forest is more or less intact and fall foliage is
reminiscent of new England
· In the broadleaf forest of eastern North America
people preserved world’s greatest diversity of flora and fauna. The great smoky
mountains have been designated a world biosphere reserve and the reason why the biome is important to the earth is because it is the last surviving region of nature and it has many plants and animals in there living.

I can tell you did a lot of research, but it is very important that you understand the research and write about it in language that is all your own - language that others can understand, too. If your audience doesn't know anything about a biome, they may not understand terms like "substrate" and "extinction during the Pleistocene." It's also important to be sure to cite sources if you quote them, to avoid inadvertently plagiarizing. You chose beautiful, very representative photographs, and highlighted some of the most typical species of the biome. In the Environmental Importance section, you explained how some of the biome has been destroyed but not much about why the biome is important to the Earth. Please fix that.
