With reference to the three climate graphs in the accompanying figure, temperate deciduous forests … . Forest climate graphs, including variations in mean monthly temperature and mean monthly precipitation (Miller and Spoolman, 2011) a. have t

To provide an accurate answer, it would be necessary to have access to the actual climate graphs. However, I can help you analyze the statements based on general knowledge of temperate deciduous forests and typical climate patterns: a. **have the least variation in mean monthly temperatures of all three types of forests** - This is generally not true, as temperate deciduous forests often have a significant range in temperature due to seasonal changes. b. **have mean temperatures below freezing point for three months of the year** - This can be accurate, as many temperate deciduous forests experience winter with sub-zero temperatures, typically around December to February. c. **receive an average of 100 mm of precipitation in May** - This statement may vary between specific locations of temperate deciduous forests; however, April through June often sees increased precipitation. d. **have the coldest average temperatures in August** - This is incorrect; August is usually one of the warmest months in temperate deciduous forests. e. **receive the most precipitation of all three types of forests** - Typically, temperate deciduous forests receive moderate to high rainfall, although tropical rainforests often receive more precipitation. Without the graphs, the most reasonable answers would likely be **b** (mean temperatures below freezing for three months) or possibly **c** depending on specific data. Please confirm with the actual climate graphs for the best conclusion.
