Temperate Rainforest vs. Mountain Biome by https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re We just love the mountains en-us 2017-09-25 19:56:56 UTC 2025-12-01 15:21:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/80264060/cdf38ae2d21ee13c036196e76c1eb262/Backback.png Definition of the biomes parkerdm https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191019981 Mountain biomes - "Mountains are high-elevation forested islands of biodiversity and often have snow-covered peaks that reflect solar radiation and gradually release water to lower-elevation streams and ecosystems."

Temperate rain forests biomes - "Coastal areas support huge cone-bearing evergreen trees such as redwoods and Douglas fir in a cool and moist environment.']]> 2017-09-25 20:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191019981 What are the similarities and differences between the precipitation levels of the biomes? plotkejr https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191019986 There is an ample amount of rain in temperate rain forests. The average amount of precipitation, whether it be rain or snow, is 200 cm to 350 cm.

The level of precipitation in the mountains greatly varies and depends on the altitude. ]]> 2017-09-25 20:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191019986 What is the soil like in a mountain biome versus in a temperate rain forest? plotkejr https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191021399 The steep slopes of the mountains mean that the soils are prone to erosion when the vegetation holding it in place is removed.

The soil in temperate rain forests is darker, wetter, and richer in nutrients than in tropical rain forests.

Both soils in mountain biomes and temperate rain forest biomes are damaged by off-road vehicles.]]> 2017-09-25 20:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191021399 What is the temperature like in a mountain biome versus in a temperate rain forests? parkerdm https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191023430 Mountain biomes are, on average, in the 60's in the summer. In the winter it drops below freezing; however, the temperature depends on the altitude. It has been reported that the temperature drops 10 degrees Celsius for every 1000 meters of elevation gained.

The ocean controls the weather of rain forests so summers are cool and winters are a mild. The average temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Both temperatures drop low enough in the winter that it allows snow to fall.]]> 2017-09-25 20:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191023430 This is a temperate rain forest biome. plotkejr https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191026173 2017-09-25 20:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191026173 This is a mountain biome. plotkejr https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191026998 2017-09-25 20:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191026998 What is the plants like in a mountain biome versus in a temperate rain forest biome? parkerdm https://padlet.com/plotkejr/wxi44fpgm5re/wish/191030360 In temperate rainforests there are three levels of plants. The first on the forest floor their are flowers, mosses, and ferns. The middle level is full of shrubs. Trees such as maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech make up the top level.

In the mountain biome they have plants like 
  • Alpine Phacelia.
  • Bear Grass.
  • Bristlecone Pine.
  • Moss Campion.
  • Polylepis Forest.
  • Pygmy Bitterroot.
  • Wild Potato.
  • Lichen
