Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome

The Temperate Deciduous Forest biome is very common here in Michigan. The forests have cold winters, but warm summers, and four defined seasons. Rainfall varies about 30 to 60 inches a year, and a good percentage of humidity most of the time. The long summers of this biome allow a lot of growth and living, but the cold winters offer a hard time to the animals of the biome, making it hard to find food and almost too cold to stay. During summer, there are many plants, such as ferns and some wildflowers, that continue to grow throughout the summer, creating food for many animals, whether they eat the plants or the eat the animals that eat the plants. Some animals include: deer, raccoons, squirrels, foxes, lynxes, bobcats, wolves, and rodents, as well as the bigger cougars and bears.

The melting snow from winter and rain provide good amounts of water for plants to grow and animals to drink, and also contribute to the streams and ponds of the area. There are few aquatic animals in the biome, being water birds, insects, fishes, or amphibians.
