Temperate forests occur in mid-latitude climates with pronounced seasonal changes, commonly expressed as spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Seasonal variation in solar angle and day length produces warm growing periods and cold dormant periods. In deciduous forests, trees shed leaves before winter, reducing water loss and frost injury when photosynthesis is inefficient, then produce new leaves in spring. Temperate coniferous and mixed forests may retain more evergreen foliage, so “always evergreen” cannot define the biome as a whole. These forests receive sufficient rain or snow to support tr
