The Temperate Rainforest is a small biome along the northwest coast of Northern California. It also includes little parts of Southern Chile, New Zealand. The Temperate Rainforest covers about 75 million acres of earth. 2/3 of The Temperate Rainforests are in the Pacific Northwest. . Temperate Rainforest. The Temperate Rain Forest is a richly productive biome. Mild temperatures and abundant rainfall encourage plant growth, and the forest is covered with plant life at every level. Because chemical reactions occur more slowly at lower temperatures, the minerals in dead plant material are recovered more slowly than in the tropical rain forest. The forest floor is carpeted with fallen needles, and fungi grow on fallen logs.. Created and presented by Brandi graham. What is global warming and why is it happening? . Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth's climate. and other adventures in chemistry-climate interactions.
