Environmental Science Class Temperate Rain Forest For Mr. Manskopf Environmental Science Class By Mr. Manskopf November 2011

Temperate Rainforest…Where on Earth? Small Biomes in Area Small Pockets Around World

Temperate Rain Forests Locations Mid-Latitudes Usually near coastline Largest found in Pacific Northwest of U.S. and British Columbia in Canada

Climate of the Temperate Rain Forest WET, Year Round Rain Moderate Temperatures

Why is it wet year round?

Species Found In Temperate Rain Forest TREES: Cedars, Spruce, Hemlock, Douglas Fir Grow Tall/Fast Evergreens Coniferous Trees (seed-bearing cones) Compete for sunlight Commercially important

Species Found In Temperate Rain Forest Damp conditions perfect for moss Slugs Numerous amphibian creatures Squirrels Deer Elk

Species Found In Temperate Rain Forest Limiting Factors Sunlight Too much precipitation (Precipitation in Olympic's rain forest ranges from 140 to 167 inches (12 to 14 feet) every year.)
