Deciduous Leaf
The deciduous forest is composed of broad-leaved trees that shed all their leaves during one season, this process is called abscission. They are found in regions where there is a temperate climate with a winter season and year-round precipitation. They tend to extend into stream banks and other bodies of water. Dominant trees in this forest include oaks, birches, chestnuts, maples, and others. The leaf shown in the picture is an example of a maple tree leaf.
