Beauty Beyond Imagining...

Deciduous (adj)--a tree or shrub that sheds its leaves annually. Three large forests every year have their leaves die in a spectacular fashion as some of "Fall's Fireworks." As they die, they change into different colors and then fall to the ground, hence the season's name. The leaves and their inhabitants provide beauty, and an insight into the scientific community. |
Deciduous Forests are located around the upper middle half of the Northern Hemisphere. There are three major spans of forest, in North America, Europe, and Northeast Asia. It's approximately 841,228 square kilometers (324,800 square miles). The Asian Deciduous Forest has the coordinates 30°-45°N, 130°-145°E.
