Deciduous

In deciduous forests are found in contrast to coniferous and mixed forests almost exclusively deciduous and coniferous trees no. Typical deciduous forests are the Rain, Monsoon and deciduous broad-leaved forests.

Under the prevailing climatic conditions in Central Europe, the deciduous broad-leaved forests were predominantly beautiful post before man intervened systematically in the tree species composition of forests or forests docked. A special role is played here beech forests. Only where, at high altitude or in the more continental areas the climate for deciduous trees was unfavorable, more conifers were able to prevail. However, conifers such as spruce trees in forestry higher yields provided, or how the unassuming pines still showed good growth on marginal land, the pure deciduous forest has fallen sharply in Central Europe by human influence. While the native forests in 1860 were still 70% of deciduous forests, there are only 30 % today.
