1. Temperate Rainforest Biome Research By Dawson Kelley

2. Temperate Rainforest Geography & Climate Location: Europe and North America Description: New Zealand, Southern Chile, and pacific Northwest of the U.S. Precipitation: 200-400 cm yearly Temperature Range: 9-12 degrees Celsius

3. Temperate Rainforest Biodiversity Plant Species: Douglas fir, Western red cedar, Spruce, Mosses, Lichens. Animal species: black bears, cougar, bobcat, endangered northeastern spotted owl, threatened marbled murrelet, salamander, wolf,, lynx, elk, deer, salmon.
