A deciduous forest is a temperate forest biome dominated by broad-leaved trees that shed their leaves seasonally. Seasonal changes shape the forest ecosystem dramatically throughout the year: new leaves and flowers emerge in spring, dense green canopies form in summer, leaves change color and fall in autumn, and bare branches characterize winter.
