Answer:
Temperate forests are characterized as regions with high levels of precipitation, humidity, and a variety of deciduous trees. Deciduous trees are trees that lose their leaves in winter. Decreasing temperatures and shortened daylight hours in fall mean decreased photosynthesis for plants.
The recurring features of rainforests are basically the following:
high animal and vegetal biodiversity.
evergreen trees.
dark and sparse undergrowth interspersed with clearings.
scanty litter (organic matter settling on the ground)
presence of "strangler" creepers (e.g. Ficus spp.)
