Question

Moderate rain during summer produces,
A. Desert
B. Grassland
C. Shrub forest
D. Deciduous forest

Answer 1

Hint: Forests which are grown in moderate rain during summers can be found in the warm-areas with moist summers and cool winters. They are dominated by trees and lose their leaves each year.

Complete answer: Temperate deciduous which is also called ‘Temperate broad-leaf forest’. There are six major areas of this forest type that occur in the Northern Hemisphere: North America, East Asia, Central, and Western Europe, Southern Sweden, Southern Norway. Temperate evergreen forests occur in Australasia, New Zealand, etc. Examples of typical trees in the Northern Hemisphere’s deciduous forests include the oak, maple, basswood, beech, and elm, while in the Southern Hemisphere, trees of the genus Nothofagus dominate this type of forest. Humans have often colonized areas in the temperate deciduous forest. They have harvested wood for timber and charcoal. The main criteria for the restoration of the deciduous forests include large trees, coarse woody debris, spring ephemeral, and top predators. The potash which is made from the ashes of the trees was exported from Europe as fertilizer during the time of settlement of North America. This led to less than one-quarter of original forests remaining. Many forests are now small fragments distributed as the fields and roads, these islands of green often differ substantially from the original forests, particularly along the edges.
Hence, the correct answer is option (D), i.e., Deciduous forest.

Note: The large populations of deer have an overall deleterious effect on tree regeneration, but particularly for edible species including yew, yellow birch, and hemlock. Deer grazing is considered to have a significant negative effect on the number and kind of herbaceous flowering plants.
