Question

Deciduous trees are found mostly in which of these forests?
These question multiple correct options
A. Tropical
B. Temperate
C. Boreal
D. Grasslands

Answer 1

Hint: Deciduous trees shed their leaves within the autumn season. The word deciduous is derived from the Latin word decidere, which means “to fall off”.These trees shed their leaves within the autumn and stay dormant in the winter season. Deciduous trees have broad flat leaves that catch a large amount of sunlight and a large amount of water.

Complete answer:
Deciduous trees are trees that drop their leaves for a part of the year. In some cases, leaf loss occurs in the winter - particularly in temperate or polar climates where there is less sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. Deciduous trees are usually broadleaf trees, and since their leaves have a larger surface area than the needle or scale-like leaves of conifers, they get more energy from sunlight during day time. Deciduous trees generally grow in both tropical and temperate forest.

Hence the option A and B are correct (Tropical and Temperate).

Additional Information:
Temperate deciduous forest plants communities are distributed widely in North and South America, Asia, Southern slopes of the Himalayas, Europe and for agricultural purposes in Oceania. They need to be fashioned underneath climatic conditions that have great seasonable temperature variability with growth occurring throughout during warm summers and leaf drop in autumn and dormancy throughout the cold winters. In tropical Deciduous Forest biomes throughout the prolonged dry periods, the foliage is dropped to conserve water and to prevent death caused due to drought. Leaf drop is seasonally independent as it is in temperate climates, and can occur at any time of year and varies by region of the world. Tropical deciduous forest and found in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, parts of Maharashtra. The Temperate Deciduous forest and found in the United States, China, Japan, and most of Europe, Russia, Indonesia, Australia.

Note:
Tropical Deciduous Forest biomes have developed in response, not to seasonal temperature variations but the seasonal precipitation or rainfall patterns. The temperate deciduous forests have seasonally distinctive communities that have numerous life forms that are impacted greatly by the seasonality of their climate, primarily the temperature and the precipitation rates.
