Temperate Rainforest Biome Research By Gabriel Ochoa
Temperate RainforestGeography & Climate Location: Alaska, Canada, and California Description: The topmost layer is the Canopy, the middle layer is Understory and the lowest is the Forest floor. Soil type: Very rich in nutrients. Precipitation: 7in-12in of rain per year. Temp. range: Warm in summer but mostly cool and wet. Climate: Mild
Temperate RainforestBiodiversity Plant species: Fern, grasses, moss, small flowering, fungi, small leaves, bacteria, protozoan and detritions. Animal species: Lynx, wolf, bears, shrew, raccoon, insects, small animals, salmon, deer, and elk.
Temperate RainforestAdaptations Needed for Survival Plant: On the lowest layer there is a thick covering of low-growing lichens. Animal: Most animals live on or near the forest floor, understory, and the canopy, which provides protection for animals.
Temperate RainforestInteractions of Biotic and Abiotic Biotic: Large food web with lots of animals. Abiotic: A fire will destroy the environment but support new growth.
What is Biodiversity? The number of different species of plants and animals in a area.
How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem? It provides us with an array of foods and materials and it contributes to the economy.
