Temperate+Rainforest

Jennifer Guardado, Jessica O'Halloran, Richy Cox  Temperate Rainforest Temperate forests grow between the tropics and the polar regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They have four distinct seasons with a well-defined winter. A temperate rainforestreceives from 1,500 to 5,000 millimeters rain a year. The climate is mild because the same mountains that block the ocean moisture help protect the rainforest from extremes in the weather. One famous rainforest is located on the West coast of the United States in the state of California, it is called Redwood National Park.



Pacific Coast Temperature Rainforest The map shows the Temperate rainforest at the west coast of California. Food Web Ecosytem Disruption = Pacific temperate rain forests have been subject to ongoing large-scale industrial logging since the end of ww2 cutting over half of their total area. In California, only 4% of the redwoods have been protected. [|Oregon] and [|Washington], less than 10% of original coastal rain forest remains. Much of the pacific rain forest is rock and barely have any trees most trees are being cut down today which not only effects the ecosystem but us humans = =It reduces the amount of oxygen being release= **It increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and carbon dioxide contributes to global warming which will make our planet hotter** **This effect the amount of land and the animals living in that habitat.** "http://www.groundtruthtrekking.org/Issues/Forestry/TemperateRainforests.html" __http://www.groundtruthtrekking.org/Issues/Forestry/TemperateRainforests.html__ "http://rainforests.pwnet.org/4teachers/background.php" __http://rainforests.pwnet.org/4teachers/background.php__
