Houses a variety of plants and animals. || //Land Biomes//. Brain Pop, //www.BrainPop.com//. Web. 19 Jan. 2012. []. ||
 * Where in the world is it located? || North America, central Europe, Japan, eastern China, some parts of South America, New Zealand, Australia.[[image:clxeggett/map.gif link="http://www.worldbookonline.com/student/home"]] || Tagliaferro, Linda. //Deciduous Forest//.

 * How do plants adapt to light, soil and precipitation? || They have to withstand different conditions, and weather. By shedding there leaves in winter and getting them back in spring, is adaptation.[[image:clxeggett/trees.gif width="364" height="177"]] || Tagliaferro, Linda. //Deciduous Forest//.

 * How do animals adapt to light, soil, and precipitation? || The bats only come out at night to fly, because they are nocturnal The small birds make nets in the shrubs, because the tall trees protect them from the harsh weather. They also have to be able to withstand a lot of different weather conditions, like wet,dry,and warm, climate. They also have to be used to rain and snow. || //The Natrual World//. Nasheville, TN: MIles Kelly, 2005. Print. ||
 * How does weather affect the conditions of your ecosystem? || The weather can be cold, warm, dry, and wet, because Deciduous Forests have all four seasons. The weather changes really fast, because cold, hot, wet,and dry air masses mix in this area. Animals and plants have to adapt to different climate and weather. || "The Temperate Deciduous Forest ." //http://www.marrieta.edu/~biol/biomes/tempded.htm//. Web. 19 Jan. 2012. ||
 * How do humans affect the conditions of your ecosystem? || People kill the animals in trees because they cut them down for lumber, and areas for buildings. People help the planet by planting trees so the soil does not erode, because they want to help the ecosystem.[[image:clxeggett/cut.gif width="221" height="176"]] || Tagliaferro, Linda. //Deciduous Forest//. Mankato, MN: Capstone Press, 2007. Print
 * Other interesting information || The Duckbill Platypus lives in the deciduous forests of Australia. It kills it's prey by putting it's spikes on his target and injects it's venom in it. The venom has enough power to kill a dog. It finds it's target by sending electric charges from his bill to the target to find it. The Platypus also keeeps it's eggs when they are out in the fat of it's tummy.
