A peek into the Temperate Forest Biome Jeremy Baumwell, Matt Delie, Sebastian Gordon, and Griffin Wick

Human’s pollution

Pollution from humans has greatly affected the temperate forests, things such as trash chemical wastes, Co2 emissions, and many more things offer a huge threat to the forests in that animals and plants may ingest the decomposing trash or the chemicals, and also the might breath in the uncleanly air from the the cars we use

Solutions for human pollution

A way we can solve this is by creating laws to enforce the stop of this pollution, and also large clean up efforts of lakes rivers and ground, but mostly educating people that littering is wrong and harmful to the environment.

Acid rain

Acid rain comes from the condensed chemicals from the ground (that humans probably were the reason for) that then move through the water cycle and that have not completely dissolved yet, and then are rained down when a storm occurs, this is bad for everything, it makes the water unsafe for fish and bad for drinking for animals, and also makes the ground less clean

Solutions

Acid rain is a difficult thing to clean, but some ways to do it would be to stop putting chemical waste on the ground and also in the water, or to have constant water treatment stations and to try to emit less Co2 and keep pollutant chemicals like that out of the air and water cycles

Deforestation

This is simply the cutting away of trees and forest area by humans, the negative affects of this include the lose of habitat for native animals, the disruption of the ecosystem for that area

Stopping Deforestatio

n Ways to stop this

concern is to make regulations and laws on the amount of forest area being cut

Elevations and Major landforms in the

Temperate Forest One main natural landmark is the

vast number of trees in the Temperate Forest, a mix of Conifers, evergreens, and Deciduous trees make the Temperate Forest a home for many animals.

Elevations and Major landforms in the Temperate

Forest The Forest also has many

rivers and mountains, famous mountain ranges like the Rockies are an example of a landform in this biome

This biome is not a very dry environment, lots of rainfall and dew provide moist conditions for the Temperate forest

3 animals from a temperate forest

Eagle Bald Eagle- the bald eagle lives in temperate

forests because that is where they catch most of their foods, such as fish, snakes small animals and other small birds.

It is unique because of its white feathers that make it look bald.

White tail deer

 

White tail Deer- they live in temperate forest because the main food they need is that area and the climate is livable for them.

Its unique feature is the backside of the tail is white and stomach is white.

Brown bear

brown bears- They live in Mountains, valleys and forest so because they can find all of their food their such as, plants, roots, berries, fungi, fish, small mammals, and large insects.

Their unique feature is the shoulder humps they get from digging up small trees, insects and digging up a tree for their homes.

 

3 plants

American Beech- they live in temperate forest because there a lot of moisture there and there shallow root system sucks up any moisture that is around the tree. The trees unique features are that the bark is a very smooth gray color. Leaves are a bright green color with tiny yellow dots that look like bullet holes.

Water hemlock

Water hemlock – The flower is found in the forests because they are always moist and that what the flower needs to survive and retain the poison in it. A white flower that revivals veins of leaflets ending at notches. The stems hollow except at the ends.

American Senna

American Senna- they live mostly in the tropics because of the warm water, but some of the flowers has reach all the way into temperate reigns. The ones that live in the temperate reigns need the moisture and rain that that certain reigns get.

flower groups with pretty yellow petals that bloom through the warm months.

Location

There are many locations of the temperate forest. Some locations are Eastern Asia, Central and Western Europe, and Eastern United States.
