In Temperate Deciduous Forests, there are four distinct seasons of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. These seasons happen because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. Throughout the year, rays form the sun hit different part of the world more directly than other, causing varying temperature, or seasons. The different seasons throughout the year greatly affect the different living organisms in the temperate deciduous forest. It has major effect on the leaves and growth of trees, and causes many animals to hibernate during the winter and reproduce during the spring.
