Shelter Types in Deciduous Forests
Deciduous forests (temperate, four seasons) offer natural and human-made shelters:
- Leaf litter: Insulating ground layer for bedding.
- Fallen logs: Rain/sun protection, sleeping spots.
- Rock shelters: Caves/overhangs for weather protection.
- Tree hollows: Natural cavities for refuge.
- Underground burrows: Animal-dug tunnels.
- Human-made: Cabins, tents, lean-tos.
Best choice depends on climate, terrain, and available materials.
