3. Eastern North America, western Eurasia, and northeastern Asia are three temperate climate zones characterized by a winter season and year-round precipitation.
4. Deciduous woods extends into more arid areas along stream banks and around bodies of water.
5. Maple, oak, and elm are examples of deciduous forests.

Maple:

1. Red maples are fast-growing trees that may reach heights of 60 to 90 feet (18 to 27 meters).
2. The biggest may reach heights of more than 120 feet (36.5 meters).
3. Red maple trees are indigenous to the eastern deciduous forest. They can be found all the way from Maine to Minnesota, south to Texas, and east to Florida.

Oak:

1. The oak is one of several tree species present in deciduous woods. Deciduous means 'falling off' or 'falling off at maturity.'
2. This directly relates to the trees that thrive in this environment and shed their leaves yearly.
3. The trees are magnificent and bright in the summer and fall, but they wither away in the winter, leaving primarily barren limbs.

Elm:

Elms are deciduous and semi-deciduous trees found across the Northern Hemisphere, from Siberia to Indonesia, Mexico to Japan, that belong to the genus Ulmus, family Ulmaceae.
