in the springtime when the plants are recovering from the winter months. Precipitation is scarce in the winter, and it normally comes in a frozen state, and is useless to plants and animals. In the summer, precipitation is again scarce, but when it does rain, it is in downpours. Deforestation is creating many problems for these biomes. Because they are located in many rapidly growing areas, the trees are being cut down with the bat of an eye. The more forest that is cut down, the fewer habitat space that is available for other organisms. Over abundant deer has become a large problem in deciduous forests with a high human population. Not only does deforestation affect the animals of this biome, it also can increase erosion and interrupt many of the Earth's naturally balanced cycles. Not to mention, it decreases the aesthetic qualities of any area. Again, deciduous forests are one of the worlds seven major biomes. It contains a variety of animal and plant species. It also has a very diverse climate that occurs over its four seasons. The temperatures are very cold in the winter months and hot in the summer months. Many people also inhabit this biome, sharing the variety and beauty with the animals. The trees are tall, with many leaves that change color and fall in the colder months. There is a thick under canopy due to the leaves that create a fertile top layer of soil. This biome is very widespread through out the world, and is necessary to the ecological balance. It is truly a diverse and complex portion of the world.

2) Pacific Snail: Only a few centimeters long and tall, this snail has its eyes at the end of its tentacles, which retract in case of danger. And like most other snails its foot secretes mucus ahead of it which allows it to g...
