Preferred term

midlatitude deciduous forest  

Definition(s)

  • Deciduous forests can be classified into two distinct biomes: (1) the deciduous midlatitude biome and (2) the tropical deciduous biome. Although in both biomes the trees lose their leaves during a dormant season, tropical deciduous trees experience dry conditions and subsequent leaf loss while deciduous midlatitude trees lose their leaves because of the cold season.
