  1. Temperate Rainforest Calvin Calloway G Hour APES 10-7-13

  2. World Distribution Map Temperate Rainforest are found in the following areas: • Along the Northwestern Coast of America • Small areas of Chile • Small areas of New Zealand • Australia • Europe • Asia

  3. Major Characteristics • The average elevation of temperate rainforests ranges between sea level-750 meters • The geographical features include trees, mosses, bushes, rivers and at some temperate forest there may be mountains • Temperate rainforest have at least 2-3 m of precipitation a year, in warmer areas there is at least 3.5 m • The precipitation can be in form of either rain or snow (if higher in elevation) • They may also be misty or foggy

  4. Major Characteristics • The usual high temperature is around 65 degrees Fahrenheit • The usual low temperature is around 32 degrees Fahrenheit • Most Temperate Rainforests tend to be cool • Temperate Rainforest have hardly any wind

  5. Animals & Plants • There is a large amount biodiversity among slugs • Bears • Racoons • Birds • Deer/Elk • Fungi (Mushrooms) • Lichens (Moss) • Coastal Redwood • Western Skunk Cabbage

  6. Indigenous People • 1.6 billion people depend on temperate rainforest for water • The Pygmy tribe, who hunt and gather for food • The Huli tribe, who hunt, gather food and grow crops • The Yanomami tribe live in large circular buildings composed of vine and leaf thatch

  7. Anthropogenic Problems • Animals are being hunted at Temperate Rainforest • There are laws set in place to help protect the population of animals • Trees are being cut down for ships, houses, furniture, agriculture, and firewood • The members of a program called Global Releaf are planting native trees to make sure the population of trees does not get too low

  8. Graphs • This graph shows the average high, low and amount of rainfall/snowfall for temperate rainforest for Vancouver Island • This graph shows the differing amounts of rain for different types of biomes • This graph shows the different percents of biomes that are located around the world
