Biodiversity in the Biome

Description: The Temperate Deciduous Forest is a biome that is rich in its diversity. It contains the kingdoms Plantae, Protista, Animalia and Fungi. The richer the biodiversity in an ecosystem, the less likely that it will be susceptible to if a plague came along. The richer the amount of diversity in an ecosystem the higher the genetic diversity. 

Plantae Examples: Oak Tree, Elm Tree, Daisies, Ferns
