The Giant Sequoias grow super big because they live for a long time and grow very quickly.

Detritivore

The banana slug can grow up to 8 inches and live for 7 years.

Detritivore

The long horned beetle larvae help spread sequoia seeds by eating the scales of the cones and freeing the seeds.

Abiotic

An abiotic factor found in the Redwood Forest is air. It gives animals and plants oxygen to breathe in, so they can live.

Abiotic

An abiotic factor found in a Redwood forest is water. Water supply's animals with hydration and allows trees and plants to grow.

Abiotic

Another abiotic factor is dead trees. When dead trees decompose due to detritivores the dead trees nutrients get spread back into the soil.

Extinct Species

The California Grizzly is a extinct species that lived in the Redwood Forest. They became extinct from hunting and habitat loss. The last time one was seen was 1924.

Threatened Species

jonathanyun1 — 2025-05-08 18:37:00 UTC

The Northern spotted owl is a threatened Species of owl. The species became threatened due to the practice of harvesting trees. The trees are their habitat so less trees equal less owls. the population of spotted owls have decreased 2.9 percent each year.

Endangered Species

gpungprakearti — 2025-05-08 18:37:37 UTC

The marbled murrelets is a endangered species that lived in the Redwood Forests. They are endangered because of habitat loss and predatation.

Population Increase

gpungprakearti — 2025-05-08 18:44:08 UTC

The Roosevelt Elk is a species that's population has grown very much. There was a few hundred of them left, now there are thousands of them. The population grew by us protecting them while they reproduced.

Symbiotic Relationship

gpungprakearti — 2025-05-08 18:50:41 UTC

The Banana Slug and Redwood Tree mutual relationship. The banana slug eats plants that compete with the redwood tree. The redwood tree provide the banana slug shade for it.

American black bears

jonathanyun1 — 2025-05-08 18:50:43 UTC

American black bears aren't increasing too rapidly, but as the population rises they would have to fight for food. There is about 339,000 to 465,000 brown bears. Their population is almost twice the size of all other bear species combined.

Peregrine falcons

jonathanyun1 — 2025-05-08 18:56:55 UTC

From the 50's to 70's Peregrine falcons were heavily threatened because the use of pesticides. the pesticides were then banned and the population bounced back. Humans helped by protecting nesting places and releasing captive birds. It was then removed off the endangered list.

Symbiotic Relationship

gpungprakearti — 2025-05-08 18:59:40 UTC

The Mycorrhizal fungi and the Redwood trees have a mutualistic relationship. The fungi helps the tree absorb water and nutrient. In return, the tree gives the fungi sugar from the tree's photosynthesis.

Predator / Prey Relationship

gpungprakearti — 2025-05-08 19:03:36 UTC

The mountain lion and deer have a predator / prey relationship. The mountain lion usually hunts for the deer. The deer gets eaten in the relationship.

Cooperative relationship

jonathanyun1 — 2025-05-08 19:07:44 UTC

Black bears usually cooperate with each other if there are a lot of resources, but if there's not enough they will compete with each other.

Competitive Relationship

jonathanyun1 — 2025-05-08 19:13:24 UTC

Redwood trees compete with each other because the taller ones get more sunlight while the shorter ones are shaded and get less sunlight.
