A biome is a type of biological habitat, not normally a specific place (a few rare biomes may occur only once).  Temperate deciduous forests are not rare and occur all over the world.  They occur at pretty much all longitudes except in the ocean, and at all temperate latitudes, both north and south.  If this is really an honors project, I hope you know what a temperate latitude is.

Two examples of such a biome would be the Great Smoky Mountains in the United States and the ancient forests of Poland.
