  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
