Precipitation and Temperature

Temperate Deciduous Forests exhibit an average annual temperature ranging from 20 degrees celcius to freezing. Annual precipitation ranges from 50-200 cm.  Actual climate can differ due to exact location of  the ecosystem.  Certain areas within the temperate deciduous biome can have more moderated microclimate due to their proximity of large bodies of water.  These can be oceans or the great lakes, which affect the climate of the surrounding ecosystems drastically.
