__Deciduous Forests__
 Their are 5 different zones in the Deciduous Forests.Tree stratum zone which contains trees such as oak, basswood, beech, maple, chestnut hickory, elm, linden, walnut, and sweet gum trees. The zone height ranges between 60ft and 100ft. The second zone is the Small Tree and Saping Zone. This zone is made up of small trees. The third zone is called the Shrub zone. Some are rhododendrons, azaleas, mountain laurel, and huckleberries. The Herb zone is the fourth zone. It contains short plants such as herbal plants.  The final zone is The Ground Zone. It contains lichen, club mosses, and true moss.

**Climate**

The whole rain fall averages at about 14 inches during the winter, and 18 inches during the summer. While the summers are hot the winters are cold. During the winters in the Deciduous Forest are cold and average a little below freezing. The average temperature during the summer is 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

//** How Humans Affect The Enviroment **// The humans affect the enviroment because of all of the humans cutting down the trees for paper during this process the humans are killing the small mamals that live in the trees. Humans also kill the Deciduous Forests by clearing out the habitats for roads and towns so the animals are running out of places to live without clashing with the human race. Also hunting can be a problem, by hunting for sport the humans are just killing the animals for no reason, also if people hunt indangered animals they are killing- out yet another species.
