Deciduous forests are found in Europe stretching from the British Isles and France through central and eastern Europe as far as the Ural Mountains. In East Asia these forests cover the Russian far East, Manchuria, Korea and Japan and in North America from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean and south to the Gulf of Mexico.

The soil in the deciduous forests is fertile, enriched with decaying litter (mostly composed of the fallen
leaves).

Naturally occurring forest fires are part of the overall plan for keeping a forest healthy Some plant species depend
on fire as a seed release mechanism. Without fire the renewal of the forest does not take place. But people have increased the number of fires and put in danger the forest.
