	Temperate forest
		Temperate forests are typical of all European continent, the Eastern region of Asia (in special, Chinese and Japan) and North America.
		Another important characteristic of the temperate forest is the diversity of animal species: birds, rodents, red deers, wild boars and bears, among others, in the North hemisphere, and in general, smaller species that occupy equivalent ecological niches in the south.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Temperate Forest and Taiga
		Temperate Forest—A temperate forest is one in which there is enough rainfall to allow trees, shrubs, flowers, ferns, and mosses to flourish, while also following the rhythm of the seasons: sun and warm temperatures in the summer, and snow and cold temperatures in the winter.
		Most temperate forests are made up of a mix of deciduous trees like oak, beech, maple, ash, hazel, and birch, along with some evergreens and conifers like pine, redwood, hemlock, and cedar.
		The interactions between the trees, shrubs, and undergrowth of temperate forests and taiga are complex and dynamic, as they respond to changes in soil, water, seasons, and climate.

		The Temperate Broadleaf Deciduous Forest (TBDF)--especially in eastern North America, where is remains most intact--is known for the turning of the colors of its leaves to brilliant reds, oranges, and golds in autumn.
		Thus the litter under this forest is not as acidic as under needleleaf trees and aluminum and iron are not mobilized from the A horizon.
		Almost all the forests of eastern North America are second growth, but they preserve the world's greatest diversity of TBDF flora and fauna.

		Foresters hate to see something like this; in a managed forest a tree will be harvested before it gets old, or "salvaged" if it falls or is damaged before its time.
		Diversity in the temperate deciduous forest pales in comparison to the diversity of the tropical rain forest, but is greater than the phrase "oak-hickory forest" or "beech maple forest" would indicate.
