The temperate forest is a forest biome. It is called ‘temperate’ because temperate means ‘not extreme’ or ‘moderate’. In this case, ‘temperate’ refers to the average temperature in a temperate forest. The temperate forest biome has many different types, which are named and distinguished for the types of trees in the forest:

Coniferous - These forests are made up mostly of conifer trees such as FIR and pine trees. These trees grow needles instead of leaves and have cones instead of flowers.

Broad-leafed - These forests are made up of broad-leafed trees such as oak, maple, walnut and chestnut trees. These trees have leaves that change colour in the autumn and change to green again in the summer and spring.

Mixed - This is exactly what it sounds like!

The temperate forest is what you normally are thinking of when you are thinking about "woods".

Producers in the temperate forest biome are normally moss because of the high amount of mossy trees. Some other producers are plants, vines, herbs and trees.

The three types of consumers are:
Herbivores - animals that eat the plants to survive

Carnivores - animals that eat meat from herbivores and other carnivores to survive

Omnivores - basically a mix of both!

Bacteria and fungi that break down the animal carcasses into energy that help the plants grow again.

A population is a group of animals of the same species at the same time in the same place.

There are a large amount of animals that live in the temperate forest including black bears, mountain lions, deer, fox, squirrels, skunks, rabbits, porcupines, timber wolves, and a number of birds like hawks.

An Abiotic factor is a non-living factor that helps plants and animals to grow.

Where do you find the temperate forest biome?

# data[].attributes.body
The most well-known major temperate forests are in:

Eastern North America

Europe

Eastern China

Japan

Southeast Australia and New Zealand.

They are normally found in places near the equator.

Soil, beautiful soil, one of the most important abiotic factors in an ecosystem (logically, because it is the only place where plants can grow) and everybody just takes it for granted. Soil is good for plants and even some animals because it has hidden nutrients (still do not eat it though, that is just disgusting) for plants and animals to eat. Plants get the nutrients from their roots. I do not know how animals eat the nutrients because I do not even know if animals eat nutrients from soil or not. (Add a comment telling me the answer if you know!)

Energy from the sun and other sources helps other animals and plants survive and flourish - with plants having an amazing  way of getting energy called photosynthesis

When I said that soil was the most important Abiotic factor in the ecosystem, I clearly was not thinking straight. Air is the thing we BREATHE and you can only survive THREE days without water!!! Water and air are the only reason that life on earth exists. (If you do not get the point, air and water are important)

Minerals in the soil act as nutrients and also help plants grow. Minerals can also be used as energy for the plants to grow and survive.

How humans are impacting temperate forests and their animals

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are affecting temperate forests in many different ways. Here are just a few...

# data[].attributes.body
When people release harmful gases into the air, it slowly makes the earth get warmer because it releases CO2 which makes the world warmer.

# data[].attributes.body
Cutting down trees that help stop climate change (the trees help stop climate change, not deforestation) and that also are animals homes make the forests smaller and also kills or gets rid of an animals homes.

# data[].attributes.body
Hunting animals can start to make them slowly die out and nearly become extinct. Many animals are illegal to hunt because they are endangered (nearly extinct)

For as long as I can remember I was fascinated by forests just like the temperate forest and arctic forest biomes. As soon as I saw the temperate forest and what it was on ducksters, I instantly wanted to do research on it.
