The Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome

Location:
The temperate deciduous forest biome is located in eastern and central Canada, south of the boreal forest. They are also found around the world in the US, Europe, and Asia. Most of these forests are found around 0-50 degrees north latitude, which means they are found between the poles and tropics.
