As in every part of the world, humans have played a huge part in impacting the environment. In a Temperate Deciduous forest, humans have done extensive damage. Air pollution is damaging the air not only that we breath but that is hurting plants and animals. So many forests have been cut down for home development and the fertile soil used to farm. Introduction of foreign plants and animals disrupt the balance of the ecosystem in the forest. Mining is a process that gets rid of the top soil and plants to get underground, unabling the forest to regrow. While it is hard to satisfy a growing human population, there are obvious solutions to these problems. More reserves should come about to protect the dwindling amount of forest. Air pollution can be stopped by finding alternative power sources other than coal, oil, etc. The foreign animals and plants are being dealt with in steps, such as diseases in trees that are being treated. As man moves into the Deciduous forest, many animals and plants are being put at risk with this interaction and these ways of dealing with the problems are necessary for the welfare of the organisms living in the forest.
