Forests: Temperate Deciduous Forest

The video explores the temperate deciduous forest biome, highlighting its characteristics, geographical distribution, and seasonal changes. Deciduous trees, which shed leaves in fall and regrow them in spring, dominate this biome. The forest spans much of eastern North America, experiencing four distinct seasons. Precipitation is evenly distributed, and soil types vary, influencing agricultural practices. The video also discusses variations in forest types due to climate differences, such as oak-hickory and beech-maple forests.
