1E.Khan/Scioscia.Temperate Deciduous Forests by Colby Scioscia https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f This padlet is for the biome, Temperate Deciduous Forests. This biome is unique from all the others because of how many of them are all over the world and its very average temperature and rain fall. This biome also provides homes for many animals and plants that can contribute to the atmosphere and the land around them. en-us 2017-05-26 13:21:09 UTC 2017-05-30 14:30:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Pictureland.png Video 3116972 https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/173987400 2017-05-26 13:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/173987400 Climatograph 3116972 https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174309414 Torres del Paine National Park, Chile]]> 2017-05-29 23:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174309414 Productivity 3116972 https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174309543 The estimated productivity of the area is 0.5-3.0 × 103 kcal/m2/yr. ]]> 2017-05-29 23:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174309543 Economic Value 3116972 https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174309689 Here is a picture showing one the main economic values of this biome. The picture shows the amount of wood imported and exported out of America from forests.
Other materials that can be found in Temperate Deciduous include: dyes, foods, and medicines.

Another important abiotic factor is temperature which is usually pretty cold.  This means the plants that do thrive here have to make adaptions that let it live in this temperature.
Finally, an abiotic factor in this biome is the wind.  Wind affects this biome too because plants must adapt to the wind by growing stronger roots so they aren't blown away.]]> 2017-05-30 12:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174401005 Ecological services 3116972 https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174409619 One ecological service of Temperate Deciduous Forests is tourism.  Tourism is an important service because it informs others of the stability of these forests.  Tourism also creates jobs for people who know a lot about Temperate Deciduous Forests. 
Another service done by these Forests is that they are sink holes for CO2. The CO2 is stored in trees and plants, and help the environment out by reducing human-caused climate change.]]> 2017-05-30 13:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174409619 3 Adaptations 3116789 https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174410153 One adaptation for animals in the Temperate Deciduous Forest is that the ground squirrel, a primary consumer, has adapted to have bigger cheeks to store food and bring food back to its home. Another adaptation for the ground squirrel is its powerful and strong back legs that allows the squirrel to run faster and jump higher. Some other animals adapt to have large fur coats that help them survive the cold winters.]]> 2017-05-30 13:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174410153 Picutres 3116789 https://padlet.com/3116789/33bg5cycts4f/wish/174420685
Here is an animal that has adapted to have a fur coat to help survive the winter.

This is the ground squirrel who has adapted in many ways to survive in its climate.
