The canopy is mostly of evergreen trees, herbaceous plants. Lanais and epiphytes are common throughout. Coniferous forests are dominated by trees, like pines and firs. Many temperate forests house both coniferous and broad-leafed trees like oaks and elms. Forest plants include yellow wood, stink-wood and ironwood trees; climbers and epiphytes; and mosses and ferns.]]> 2021-02-19 10:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/01698/oe6nggudekd1xa4l/wish/1218345867 Abiotic Factors 01698 https://padlet.com/01698/oe6nggudekd1xa4l/wish/1218350122 Tangible abiotic Factors: Sunlight, Soil, Minerals, Rocks and Water.

Abiotic factors can be intangible such as the temperature, other types of radiation, and the chemistry of soil and water.
Primary producers convert the light into carbohydrates, a form of energy that can be consumed by other organisms. The function of other abiotic factors relies on the minerals they contain, such as the nitrogen in the soil or the hydrogen in water molecules.
The levels of frost in forests can be high and low depending on where you live, in the more Northern regions it will snow for days and everything will be white, then more towards the South there isn't any frost, it is too warm. ]]> 2021-02-19 10:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/01698/oe6nggudekd1xa4l/wish/1218350122 Reptile species: https://padlet.com/01698/oe6nggudekd1xa4l/wish/1223248807 Snakes:
The majority of canopy snakes are constrictors or mildly venomous species,
Lizards:

Iguanas are large greenish lizards that can drop over (18 m) from canopy trees. Their tail is used for balance during the fall and catching branches to break their fall. they can grow up to 1,8, m. Iguanas are able to do a small color change to better blend into their environment. Chameleons are lizards that can change their colors to match their surroundings, but they tend to change according to emotions.

Small fruit-eating and insectivorous birds help control insect populations. Large predatory birds control small-mammal populations.In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, ,cardinals snowy owls, and plaited woodpeckers are found . Other forest birds include:
Wood duck
Baltimore oriole
Northern cardinal
Acorn woodpecker
Cooper’s hawk
Ruffed grouse]]> 2021-03-08 12:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/01698/oe6nggudekd1xa4l/wish/1281658917 References 01698 https://padlet.com/01698/oe6nggudekd1xa4l/wish/1281668674 Abiotic Factors: National Graphic.

Mammals in forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.

Animals that live in the forest must be able to adapt to the changing seasons. Some animals in this biome migrate or hibernate in the winter.
