Bosques de hoja caduca

Deciduous forests, found in regions like the US, Europe, Russia, and China, are characterized by trees that shed leaves in winter to conserve resources. These forests have rich soil due to decomposing vegetation, supporting diverse plant and animal life. The growing season lasts 5-6 months, with trees like oaks and maples thriving. Unlike coniferous forests, deciduous forests have edible broad leaves, supporting varied wildlife. However, many forests have been cleared for agriculture, though some, like those in eastern North America, remain extensive and visually striking in autumn.
