Exploring Florida's Unique Ecosystem: Rainfall, Temperature, Flora, and Fauna

This overview highlights the average rainfall and temperature for Miami, Florida, which averages 58.5 inches of rainfall and temperatures ranging from 69°F to 84°F. The ecosystem features major flora species, including palm trees and mangroves, as well as fauna like panthers and various birds. The interdependence of flora and fauna is illustrated in a food web. We will also discuss methods of forest destruction, such as slash-and-burn agriculture near Puerto Maldanado, and preservation efforts where new trees are planted to replace those that have been removed.
