In this biome, very little light reaches the ground, because the tops of trees form a thick, dense canopy. Therefore, many plants live on the branches of trees, and low-lying plants have extremely large leaves to capture whatever light penetrates through the thick canopy.

The temperate forest biome

Explanation:

The temperate biome is comprised of the temperate rainforest in which there is the presence of thick deciduous trees and is rich in various species plants and trees. The leaves of these trees are broad and form a dense canopy. As a result of which the sunlight is not able to penetrate to the ground surface. The temperate forest lies in a mid-latitude region that covers from 40° to 60° N and S in both the hemisphere. The annual precipitation level in this type of rainforest ranges from 200 to 350 cm.
