Temperate Forest

What natural disasters effect the Temperate Forest?•Forest Fires•Acid Rain•Tornados•Hurricanes

•Global Warming•Introduction of non-native plants and animal species

What human activities endanger or damage areas of

this biome?•Air pollutants•Clearing lands•Mining

•Logging of thetemperate forests is a major threat to the biome and everything thereby inclusive. In North America loggers have devastated many temperate forests.

What is the Government doing to benefit the Temperate Forest

Biome?ACTION ALERT Save Bialowieza Forest, Europe’s

Last Primeval Temperate ForestDemand the Polish government stop exploitation of the

ancient Bialowieza forest, preserve the whole complex as a national park, and end

permanently extensive logging that threatens Europe’s last remnant old-growth northern

temperate forests.

Some experts have stated that within 30 years, the earth will be completely naked and free of forests.

Temperate ForestClimatologist and Geologist

By: Blake Caudill

Temperature/Climate• Average annual temperature is 50 degrees

Fahrenheit or 10 degrees Celsius• Temperate forest receives 2 to 5 ft. of annual

precipitation.• It is a colder region between tropical region and

polar region.• Since it is a colder region temperate forest has a

lot of animals that go into hibernation in the winter.

Seasons

• They have 4 definite seasons that temperate forest goes through during the year.

• Summer, Spring, Winter and Fall • Temperate forest is very different from

other regions because the forest goes through a process from hot temperature.

Geology• There is no fault lines, earthquake or

volcanoes in the temperate forest.• There hasn’t been any tidal ways or

earthquakes in the last 10 years.• The land is very mountainous and filled

with hills and valleys.

Mountains• The mountains play a big part in the temperate forest

biome.• Appalachian mountains are running through the major part

of the temperate forest, starting at Canada running down to the bottom of the united states.

• They are 3,000 feet tall• The tectonic plates collided and form the Appalachian

mountains.• The clouds have to rise to make it over the mountains as it

does it get colder, then water condenses and it starts to rain.

Natural reservesCAUSE

• There is large deposits of iron ore and coal found in the temperate forest biome.

EFFECT• This helps us to make

more money exporting the coal and iron to other nations.

• This can also be used to improve our machines and bridges.

• The deposits improve our industrial revolution

Problems With Temperate Forest

•Cause of the wood all around, died and alive it is very easy for the temperate forest to have forest fires.

•When forest fires get started it is very hard to get it out because of the wood around.

Temperate Forest

• These wild fires happen because they are not careful and let their fires burn at night or do not put our their lantern.

• That is a good way for the humans to burn down the Temperate forest, there is not much of it left.

Temperate forest•Temperate forest is very different and holds many types of animals and keep them shelter.

•Temperate forest also has a different seasons, growing rate and climate then any other biome.
