Miss Johannson • Temperate rainforests can be • found in: Coastal British Columbia, • Chile, New Zealand, and Australia • Climate (annual averages): • Precipitation: > 200 cm • Temperature: 5 to 25°C • Plants: tall trees with epiphytes, forest floor: ferns, fungi, mosses • e.g., coastal redwood, fireweed, western skunk cabbage • Animals: mostly live on floor, eat seeds • insects in bark (e.g., cougars, • black bears, squirrels) • Extra Info: Soil is usually acidic • and low in nutrients. Ocean winds • drop moisture on the windward • sides of mountain ranges. There • are natural hot springs on a • nearby island that are truly • incredible to relax in on a cold day. Tofino, B.C., Canada * Temperate Rainforest Why I chose Tofino: It’s one of my favourite places to go, and I grew up fishing on the west coast with my dad. *Tofino, B.C.
