Temperate Deciduous Forests!
It is unique because it has four seasons unlike some other biomes. Spring, summer, winter, and fall. There are lots of different organisms (plants, animals, bacteria) such as the dhole (my personal favorite), cardinals, and white-tailed deer, that are climax species in TDFs. Other biomes, however, only have summer or only Winter, but ours is unique. The animals adapted to the different climates and the biodiversity is large.
Temperate deciduous forests also have 30 to 60 in of precipitation a year and precipitation falls year round. Generally, temperate deciduous forests have fertile soil, thus contributing to good hardwood trees, allowing humans to build here, concluding in a large population. A unique thing about our biome is that it has 4 seasons, unlike some others.
The leaves of temperate deciduous forests change colors. During autumn, trees can't get enough sunlight or water, so they go dormant and the leaves start to fall off. These leaves fall off because their chlorophyll starts to go away, and then this is the part where you see the orange colors. These orange colors (or any other color) is to prevent oxidation. Don't worry though! Even though they're falling off, they'll grow back in the spring anyways.

Are there any other biomes that have a similar biome like us?

The biome that I live in is similar to your biome. We also have 4 seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall) and have a lot of different organisms. I would also say that the biodiversity is large. Thank you for posting. ^^ -Brandon Lee
