Oak trees are common among many areas. Oak trees are producers and so they just stay where they are, since they can't move and use chlorophyll and carbon dioxide to produce its food. It provides shade, habitat, and food for animals. In the biome, oak trees provide shade, shelter, and food. Their leaves and braches spread out to protect the animals from too much heat, their trunk and wood provides shelter for squirrels, ants, bugs and birds' nests. The food oak trees provide are acorns. Squirrels eat them and also bury them to make more oak trees. They've adapted to TDFs by growing big to get sunlight and by having symbiotic reletionships with ants and other organisms. The ants protect it from predators by biting them and the tree provides a shelter for the ants.
