RAIN-FORESTS


Why are + rain forests + so important?

Rainforests are extremely important
in the ecology of the Earth.
The plants of the rain forest generate
much of the Earth's oxygen.
These plants are also very important to people
in other ways:
Many are used in new drugs
that fight disease and illness.

temperate rainforest map world map of tropical and temperate rain forests shows how scarce rain forest are and how important it is to protect rain forests
What Can We Do
To Conserve Existing Rainforest?

We all play a part in the
conservation of tropical forests.
The more you know the better you understand the
problems of declining tropical forests.
Share your knowledge with others and
encourage them to become involved.

Citizen diplomacy plays an important role
in persuading governments
to limit environmental degradation.
Various groups worldwide have joined hands
to influence global policies.
Support us in our work them by becoming a member.

South America rainforests map of south americas rain forests in the Amazon and in Chile shows how endangered these green lungs of our earth are - they are shrinking by deforestation in an alarming rate
Map and location of rain-forests
Ask where the meat of your hamburgers comes from.
If the stock came from the
rain-forests of Central or South America
don't buy it.

Avoid purchasing hardwoods that come from the rain-forest
such as mahogany or rosewood.

Lobby legislatures to restrain government agencies and
lending institutions that invest in harmful development of the tropics.

Plant trees:
It will take a great deal of planting and time
to grow and replace what we have already lost,
but every seedling helps to secure your
and the future of your children!

Probably the most important tool for saving the rainforest
is helping developing countries achieve sustainable growth.
We don't need to control these nations,
but we do need to communicate to the native peoples
of the rainforest how important their lands are.

RAINFOREST - people hear the word
and think of a lush jungle,
green plants, colorful birds,
high humidity, and heavy rainfall
they think of tropical rainforests.

These forests are found in
Southeast Asia, Africa, South America,
and Central America

map of rainforests on earth. See where  tropical rain-forests + temperate rain forests exist on Earth
On the map above you can see that
there is a different kind of rainforest,
named the "temperate rainforest"
South America has

tropical rainforests

and

temperate rainforests



Temperate rainforests are formed because
the coastal mountain ranges
trap the air masses full of moisture
that rise from the oceans.
As this moisture condenses into rain
it creates lush rainforests with trees
like the Coastal Redwood in California
that grow to enormous sizes and a biomass
that exceeds that of the tropical rain-forests.

rainforest trees leaves build a thick layer on the ground creating a very special environment
What is a temperate rainforest?
Temperate rainforests receive from 1,500
to 5,000 millimeters (60 to 200 inches)
of rain a year.
In California, the rainfall is closer to the
lower end of the range.
The climate is mild (temperate)because
the same mountains that block the ocean moisture
help protect the rainforest from extreme weather.
There are two seasons in the temperate rainforest
one long, wet season
where the temperatures rarely drop to freezing
and one short dry season
when the temperatures rarely exceed 80.
Even in the dry season the climate is
cool and cloud-covered with fog providing
the necessary moisture to nourish the rainforest.

rainforest trunk trees and trunk and plants in the tropical rainforest
Fog provides about 175-3,000 millimeters
(7-12 inches) of rain each summer.

Temperate rainforests cover only
75 million acres of earth.

Two-thirds of all temperate rainforests are
in the Pacific Northwest.
The trees grow to enormous sizes since
the winters are mild and the rain is abundant.
plants and epiphytes in the temperate and tropical rain forest
Different epiphytes are seen in the
temperate rainforests.
Epiphytes are plants that grow on other plants.
Other trees have ferns, lichen, and mosses
hanging from their branches.
There is a fine mist in the air.
The forest is always damp with water dripping
from the tree branches and sunlight
filtering through the canopy
onto the forest floor.
water and springs in the temperate and tropical rainforest

What is the structure of the temperate rainforest?
Like the tropical rainforest,
the temperate rain forest is divided into layers.

The topmost layer is called the canopy,
which is dominated by tall evergreen conifers
(trees that produce cones with seeds).
Valdivia rain forest in Chile South America, very special with trees older than 4000 years
Because of the heavy rain and mild temperatures,
these conifers enjoy maximum year-round growth
and reach record heights and girth.
Coastal redwood giants in California have reached
heights of over 300 feet
(the height of a 30 story building!).
Four additional conifers grow in the rainforest.
Second tallest is the Douglas Fir
(up to 280 feet),
followed by Sitka Spruce (230 feet),
Western Red Cedar (200 feet),
and Western Hemlock (130 feet).
Some of these trees may be up to
500 to 1000 years old
The trunks are often more than 100 feet around!

Beneath the canopy is the understory.
In this layer are found small shade-loving trees,
such as dogwood (beautiful pink /white flowers,
and vine maples.
Ferns, salal, and berry shrubs grow in the
filtered sunlight beneath the small trees.

On the forest floor, the lowest layer,
there is a thick covering of low growing
lichens, mosses, small plants, oxalis,
native flowers and grasses.
The ground is covered with conifer needles, leaves,
branches, twigs, and fallen trees.
Mosses and algae cover the rocks,
tree trunks, and branches.
Everything feels rich and moist and
the forest floor show all shades of green.
rainforest need protection, rainforest are the main producer of oxygen on Earth
In this shady, rich environment many varieties
of mushrooms, toadstools, and other fungi
grow very well.
A lot of dead organic material provides
the soil with full nutrients
broken down by de-composers
such as bacteria and insects.

The temperatures are cool,
so organic material is broken down
much more slowly than in
the tropical rain forest.

When we measure the biomass(living things)
we find in each square yard of this forest
more than anywhere else on Earth.
Cloud forest receive over 70% of the needed water from moisture in the clouds

A big Sitka Spruce) dies
and falls onto the forest floor.
Small seedlings take root on the
horizontal trunk and it becomes a "nurse log".
We call them nurse logs, because young trees grow
on the top mossy surface of the fallen trees.
Fallen logs make a moist, soggy,
wet habitat for mosses, ferns, lichens,
new plants and tree seedlings.
ferns are found everywhere in the tropical and temperate rainforest
Colonnades (trees standing in a row) may form
after the nurse log has completely disintegrated.
Trees can also be found standing on “stilts”
because they first sprouted on stumps of dead trees
and as they grew over time, the stumps decayed
leaving the tree standing only on the roots.

Most of the animals in the temperate rainforest
live on or near the forest floor.
Understory and canopy provide protection
from the wind and rain.
A lot of food is found there.
Berries and cones drop with nutrient rich seeds,
which are eaten by birds and small animals
such as voles (mouse-like creatures) and
chipmunks.

Insects live in the mossy floor and tree bark.
Birds and amphibians feed on the insects.

waterfall in the temperate rainforest in Alaska
Many amphibians live in the streams and ponds
and salmon are important consumers.

Other big animals in the temperate rainforest
are deer, black bears and cougars.

How does a temperate rainforest
compare to a tropical rainforest?
The differences in temperature and rainfall,
make the temperate and the tropical rain-forests
very different.

The trees, the plants, the structure of the forest,
the animals that live there, and
even the type of soil are so different
that you recognize immediately,
in which forest you were.

In a lush tropical rainforest you see
very different types of trees and plants, more colors, more animal sounds.

Over 1,100 species of plants are found
in some tropical rainforests!
Big leafy trees and plants, mainly palms,
bamboo and tree ferns.
Branches touch and leaves seem to fill every
space in the canopy.
Vines, such as the Strangler Fig, hang down
from the trees.
Insects are everywhere and there are colorful fruits,
and many different birds (parrots).
Most of the animals live in the canopy far above
the forest floor.
Monkeys, jaguars, bats, birds and all colors and shades
and large poisonous snakes.

The forest would be teeming with the movement
and sounds of life.
Temperature is always be warm, never cool.

A temperate rainforest is never hot,
temperatures can be warm in the summer,
but most of the time it is cool and wet.
Giant redwood trees mixed with
only 3 or 4 other species of tall conifer trees.
The understory shows leafy, delicate trees and
shrubs such as dogwoods and maples.
The forest floor is a thick layer of mosses and
other low-growing plants with nurse logs
nurturing young plants.
Most of the animals of this forest live
on the forest floor, because the soil is rich,
there is lots of food,
and the tall trees provide protection
from the sun, wind, and rain above.
Grizzlies, bear or cougar, owls or woodpeckers,
raccoons and chipmunks, grazing deer or elk
are roaming here, but never a poisonous snake!
Temperate rain forests are quiet and peaceful
with sunlight filtering down in beautiful beams
from the canopy above.
