What Is A Tropical Deciduous Forest?

If you didn't know, the word 'deciduous' means 'falling off or out of a tree'.

The reason why it's called the deciduous forest is because it is literally covered in deciduous trees. Deciduous trees shed leaves seasonally, which leads back to the meaning of deciduous. There are two (2) types of deciduous forest. One type is dry, the other is moist.

Grass

Sadly, the deciduous forests are in danger of being cut down (deforestation) for wood and space for houses. The animals in the forest are losing their habitat because of this.

rock right beside this

Another abiotic factor is a rock. The rock will provide a habitat for lizards such as salamanders.

The average amount of rainfall in a deciduous forest is 30-60 inches a year annually. The temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Right above this is the soil

One abiotic factor in the tropical deciduous forest is soil, soil helps the producers grow and live.
