1 Temperate Rain Forest Example Biome Project for Environmental Science Class

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

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

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

5 Why is it wet year round?

6 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

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

8 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.)

9 Threats Timber/Logging
