A Recap of the Temperate Rainforest

November 2, 2013
This coastal biome definitely sweeps in plenty of rainfall. It rain incessantly while I was here and that led to plenty of sock-changing. It's effortless to see the skyscraper-like trees in this biome, and it's even easier to see the moss trailing up and down their trunk. A considerable number of ferns and mosses cling to the huge trees of the region due to the poor nutrients in the soil.
As for the wildlife, www.mbgnet.net credits the land to be home to elks and cougars and raccoons. Other animals also inhabit the area, including black bears. Elks, according to the site, are the champions of the biome, for their hearding prevents the forest from over-blooming in plant life.
