A portion of the temperate rain forest region of North America, the largest area of temperate zone rainforests on the planet, is the Pacific temperate rain forests ecoregion, which occur on west-facing coastal mountains along the Pacific coast of North America, from Kodiak Island in Alaska to northern California, and are part of the Nearctic realm.
The Pacific temperate rainforests lie along the western side of the Pacific Coast Ranges along the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America from the Prince William Sound in Alaska through the British Columbia Coast to Northern California, and are part of the Nearctic realm, as also defined by the World Wildlife Fund. The Pacific temperate rain ...
The Appalachian temperate rainforest has a cool and mild climate and meets the criteria of temperate rainforests identified by Alaback. [1] Temperature and precipitation are extremely variable with elevation, with rainforest conditions usually but not always concentrated around spruce–fir forests at higher elevations.
The rainforest communities of this region exhibit ecological relations to other regions: the cool temperate rainforest is similar to the biome found in Tasmania, the warm temperate rainforest has links to the North Island of New Zealand, and the subtropical and dry regions are also found up north in the Queensland tropical rain forests ...
the Eastern Canadian temperate rainforest; the European rainforest relicts; and the Australasian temperate rainforest, including the Tasmanian temperate rainforest and temperate rainforests in Eastern Australia and New Zealand. [5] It has been started to be recognized as an “inland counterpart” of the coastal Pacific temperate rainforest ...
Despite the focus on protections and conservation of the mountain caribou, herd numbers since the CORE was established have continued to diminish from approximately 2,450 spread across 17 separate isolated subpopulations to 1,900 animals in 15 subpopulations between 1997 and 2002 (Mountain Caribou Technical Advisory Committee, 2002) as a result ...
A freshwater aquatic food web. The blue arrows show a complete food chain (algae → daphnia → gizzard shad → largemouth bass → great blue heron). A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community.
