| | Deciduous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many deciduous plants flower during the period when they are leafless, as this increases the effectiveness of pollination. | | | In some cases, the foliage loss coincides with the incidence of winter in temperate or polar climates, while others lose their leaves during the dry season in climates with seasonal variation in rainfall. | | | This strategy is not without risks, as the flowers can be damaged by frost, or in dry season areas, result in water stress on the plant. |

| | Deciduous Forest Biome |
| | The average annual temperature in a deciduous forest is 50° F. The average rainfall is 30 to 60 inches a year. | | | A few common animals found in the deciduous forest are, deer, gray squirrels, mice raccoons, salamanders, snakes, robins, frogs and many types of insects. | | | The deciduous forests are located in the temperate zone above the tropical forests and below the coniferous forests. |

| | Earth Floor: Biomes |
| | The mid-latitude deciduous forest biome is located between the polar regions and the tropics. | | | For this reason, the soils of this biome tend to be very fertile. | | | Because this biome has fertile soil and a long, 5 to 6 month, growing season, many deciduous forests have been converted into agricultural regions. |

| | Precipitation in the temperate deciduous forest is spread throughout the year. | | | The Deciduous forest does not have much vegetation but there are many trees that contain outrageous amounts of flowers. | | | However, during the winter months it is usually frozen and unavailable to animals. |

| | GLAZE ICE, CAUSE OF DECIDUOUS FORESTS |
| | It is proposed that the deciduous climax forests of North America are primarily a function of winter glaze ice, with shallow roots in swamp soil an auxiliary factor south of the glaze ice zone because of winter uprooting. | | | I propose that the north temperate deciduous forest is delineated by the glaze ice area. | | | Deciduous trees are only a small part of upland trees south of glaze ice. |

| | Deciduous Azaleas |
| | Deciduous rhododendrons are propagated by seed, grafting or cutting. | | | All of the deciduous azaleas are alike in their need for moist well-drained, acid soil (pH 4.5 to 5.5) that has been well supplemented with peat moss or leaf mold. | | | Azaleas are among the most colorful of all flowering shrubs, bearing 3- to 6-inch clusters of red, yellow, orange, pink, white or purple flowers in spring and early summer, and in many cases providing brilliantly hued leaves in fall. |

| | Deciduous woods description - SNAs: Minnesota DNR |
| | The deciduous woods is a species-rich extension of the eastern deciduous forest, with numerous plant species occurring here at the very western edge of their range. | | | Deciduous forest communities themselves are distinguished by degree of soil moisture: | | | This rich energy budget allows deciduous trees to drop their leaves each fall, then grow an entirely new crop each spring and still produce luxuriant growth each year. |

| | The deciduous forest is a lively place, where oak, beech, ash, and maple trees are typical, and wildflowers, berries, and many types of insect and animal life abound. | | | But the fertile soil is also good for people, and in Europe most of the deciduous forest has been destroyed to make room for farms and homes. | | | In the U.S., the deciduous forest is a home for deer, American gray squirrels, wood mice, rabbits, raccoons, woodpeckers, cardinals, and finches, to name a few. |

| | Deciduous trees are those that loose their leaves each fall, go dormant for the winter, and leaf out again in spring. | | | When planting a deciduous tree, limit pruning to removing broken or damaged branches, or branches that are crossing others or growing inward toward the trunk. | | | No matter how carefully dug, transplanted trees have only a fraction of their original root mass and are less able to take up water and nutrients. |
