Deciduous forests are found mainly in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, especially eastern North America, western Eurasia, and northeastern Asia. Smaller areas occur in the Southern Hemisphere, notably in southern South America. These forests generally occur where precipitation falls throughout the year and winters are cold enough to produce a distinct dormant season. They can also be found in drier regions, especially along rivers, streams, and other waterways.
