Different Types of Forests Ms. Jennifer Butler Introduction There are two different types of forests. Today we are going to identify both types and learn what makes them different. Temperate Forest Located in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Found in the Temperate Zone, the region North of the Tropics and South of the Arctic Circle. Located in areas where temperatures vary greatly. Temperate Forests Cont. Made up of needle-leaved evergreen trees and broad leaved deciduous trees. Trees shed their leaves in the Fall and enter a dormant state. They have a limited number of tree species living in them. Average rain fall is 50-100 in. per year. Tropical Rain Forest Located primarily in Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and South America. Found in the Tropic Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, just North or South of the Equator. Located in areas where temperatures are constant. Tropical Rain Forests Cont. Temperatures Rainfall: The temperature is between 68-85 degrees. Humidity reaches 95% at night and 70% during the day. Average rainfall is between 80 to 400 in. per year. Tropical Rain Forests Cont. Vegetation: Primarily made up of tall trees reaching heights between 90 to 150 feet. Due to poor soil and limited sun light, few plants live/grow on the ground. Moss and other plants grow on trees. The canopy is home to over 2/3rds of the Rain Forests plants and animals. Tropical Rain Forests Cont. Facts: Although they cover only 6% of the Earth’s surface, Tropical Rain Forests contain more than 1/2 of the earth’s species. Many medicines and food we use came from the Rain Forest. Summary: Tropical Rain Forests grow in areas that are very warm, have a lot of rain and are close to the Equator. Temperate Forests grow in areas with varying temperatures, small amounts of rain and are far from the Equator. Rain Forest Unit: For the next couple of weeks we will be studying the Rain Forest. We will focus on the different layers, precipi
