Beech forests are the most significant of the present-day broad-leaved forests in the region. Along with this, the humid subtropical climate may be wrongly separated from the Temperate group of climates, and further associated with the Tropical climates, much because of its name, temperatures and the vegetation found in Subtropical zones which can be somewhat similar to that of Tropical regions (For instance the "Temperate" and "Temperateness" redirect here. Freezing precipitation is uncommon in this portion of the temperate zone. These are variants of the subtropical climates found in high altitude plateaus or montane systems either in the tropics or subtropics, they have characteristically mild temperatures year-round, featuring the four seasons in the subtropics and no marked seasons in the tropics, the latter usually remaining mild to cool through most of the year. Net annual average change in forest area, 2000−2010 Net annual average change in agricultural area, 2000−2010 -8000 -6000 Making use of companion planting, these can be intermixed to grow in a succession of layers to build a woodland habitat.
PLANTS: Trees and plants in deciduous forests have special adaptations to survive in this biome. Tropical canopies are often (but not always) replete with vines and epiphytes, tree holes, and tank bromeliads, and there are soil mats among the roots of orchids, bromeliads, and aroid plants. Eastern North American was rapidly cleared as the population moved westward in the nineteenth century. Substrates are constantly available for the fauna. Preservation in the form of parks has expanded by active conservation efforts worldwide. Summers are mild, and average about 70°F (21°C), while winter temperatures are often well below freezing. Temperate agriculture usually refers to large scale industrial agriculture systems, in temperate areas which are prolific in terms of production outputs.Temperate agriculture is characterised by sophisticated agronomic practices, intense mechanisation and use of inputs like groundwater irrigation, chemical fertilisers, pesticides and (in some instances) Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).

In some areas, in eastern North America and parts of Northern Europe, farming is less economically viable than in other parts of the temperate region, leading to reforestation in these areas.
Considerable present-day challenges lie in understanding and addressing the impacts of land-use change and other aspects of global environmental change in the temperate biome on forest biodiversity and forest ecology.The objectives here are to provide an overview of the distribution of temperate forests globally; their structure and composition; their evolutionary history; their diversity, rarity, and endemism; the ecosystems services they provide; the factors that threaten them; and their current conservation status.The temperate forest seemingly provides a great variety of substrates for the canopy fauna, but faunas are depauperate compared with those in tropical forests. Tall trees in Britain and Western Europe were removed for shipbuilding. These occur in the middle latitudes, between 23°26'22" and 66°33'39" north, and 23°26'22" and 66°33'39" south and are the ones with the most of practically equal influence from the equator and the poles, and the most characteristic temperate climates with the typical distinct four season pattern.
Typical temperate deciduous forest soils are mull soils, which have a high level of organic matter especially close to the surface that is well mixed with mineral matter. Some forests have been exploited for coppice, timber, or grazing and others transformed into agriculture and fruit-tree plantations.
Coppice practices promoted species that re-sprouted more quickly than beech – including maples and oaks, and this activity altered the natural floristic composition. The microhabitat and its substrates are forever present across the forest; each individual branch being ephemeral. Temperate agriculture usually refers to large scale industrial agriculture systems, in temperate areas which are prolific in terms of production outputs.
There is also the chance that global warming could affect this biome if rainfall patterns are significantly altered.There has not really been any positive human impact on this biome.
