It is a large living belt that covers the whole of Europe, the middle and north of China, and the northern regions of America, mostly in the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Since Turkey is in a temperate climate zone and middle latitudes, it contains all of these forests formed by deciduous trees. In the Southern Hemisphere, this terrestrial biome is not observed because land is limited. This forest biome receives heavy rainfall due to its location. The trees in this belt are in a state of rest in winter. During this period, they shed their leaves in autumn as they cannot get water due to frost. Since the buds are covered with hard and hairy leaves, they spend the winter unharmed. Organic decomposition in the soil is greater than in the taiga and tundra biomes in the north. Therefore, the soil is rich in humus and therefore fertile. This richness also affects the diversity of trees in the belt.
In the biome, trees such as beech, oak, linden, hornbeam and hazelnut can be counted among nearly 25 tree species. Under the trees are shrubs and herbaceous plants. Diversity is also observed in animal species as temperature and other environmental conditions improve. In this forest biome; Animals such as eagle, bear, squirrel, mouse, weasel, sable, marten, roe deer, deer, jackal, mole, frog, crocodile, reptile, bird and insect live.
