• For "It has warm, wet summers and cold, wet winters": Temperate deciduous forests, like the Białowieża Forest, experience distinct seasons. Summers are generally warm and wet, while winters are cold and can have precipitation (in the form of rain or snow).
• For "It has only a few types of trees": This is incorrect. Temperate deciduous forests are known for having a variety of tree species (e.g., oak, maple, beech).
• For "It has soil that is rich in nutrients": The decomposition of leaves (from deciduous trees) in temperate deciduous forests enriches the soil with nutrients.
