In today’s lesson, we explored various global biomes, focusing on the temperate deciduous forest. This biome is characterized by trees that shed leaves seasonally, high rainfall, and a diverse range of fauna including foxes, deer, and squirrels, some of which hibernate in winter. The forest structure consists of three main layers: the canopy (tallest trees like oak and ash), the understory (medium-sized trees and shrubs like holly), and the forest floor (low-lying vegetation such as grasses and ferns).
