Hello, my name is Malcolm. This blog is a school project of which the objective is to research the biome that you live in. I live in a temperate deciduous forest located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This blog will contain facts and small bits of information concerning the temperate deciduous forest.

Plant Life
A sweet gum tree
A temperate deciduous forest is separated into five zones of plant life. The first zone is the Tree Stratum zone. It contains tall trees, such as maple, walnut and sweet gum. This zone typically ranges in heights from 60 to 100 feet. The second zone is the small tree and sapling zone. This zone contains young and short trees. The third is the shrub zone. It contains shrubs such as mountain laurel and rhododendrons, and many more. The fourth zone is the herb zone. It contains short, herbal plants such as ferns. The final zone is the ground zone, which contains mosses and lichens.
