Why We Find Rainforests in Unexpected Places
Many of us are familiar with rainforests; lush and exotic environments that serve as the pinnacle of life on Earth. For the most part we assume these only occur throughout the tropics, but as it turns out certain areas in the temperate latitudes can receive just as much rainfall, creating a number of rainforests in unexpected places.

Temperate Rainforests of the UK
To coincide with World Rainforest Day 2024, in this film by Tom Hartwell, April Windle of the British Lichen Society explores one of the UK's temperate rainforests on Dartmoor where the ancient woodland, high rainfall and clean air provide the perfect conditions for an incredible array and complexity of plant life, with plants growing on plants growing on plants. Meet some intricate and beautiful mosses, lichens and liverworts. This is the second of a series of 3 films over 3 months on lichen and our temperate rainforests. https://britishlichensociety.org.uk/.

Temperate Forest Ecosystems
#ngscience.com #ecosystems #forests
Learn all about the biotic and abiotic factors that make up temperature forest ecosystems.
Giant red woods...cute squirrels...huge grizzlies and fierce night owls...let's take a look at a temperate forest ecosystem.
Temperate forests are ecosystems with enough rainfall and sunlight for tall trees to grow. Reaching high above the rich soil they grow in are oak trees, maples, elms and birches...to name just a few. The types of trees depends largely on the region too. In North American temperate forests, you'll also find conifers like pines and hemlocks. Australian temperate forests are dominated by Eucalyptus trees. We call them gum trees over here. Not sure why? I'll have to look into that.
Below the towering trees is a diverse layer of grasses, shrubs...

Farm owner's project aims to triple UK's temperate rainforest
Monday marks the 50th anniversary of the World Environment Day which aims to raise awareness about environmental protection including rain forests. The crucial role rainforests play in combating climate change is well known. Less well known is that rainforests once covered large parts of Europe as well as the Amazon, sub-Saharan Africa and Indonesia.
In the UK, temperate rain forests once covered 20 per cent of the land but today less than one per cent is left. But awareness of the existence of these unique habitats is growing, as are plans to protect and expand them. Farm owner launches project to triple UK’s temperate rainforest. TRT World’s Simon McGregor-Wood went to a small rainforest in western England to find out more.

The Old-Growth Coastal Temperate Rainforests of British Columbia (Closed Captioned)
The core issues are explained in this video surrounding the controversy over the logging of old-growth coastal temperate rainforests in BC, in a video produced by the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance. Be sure to SEND a MESSAGE to the BC and federal governments to protect old-growth forests at: https://www.endangeredecosystemsalliance.org/news/bc-protected-areas
And please donate at: https://www.endangeredecosystemsalliance.org/donation
Old-growth forests are vital to sustain endangered species, First Nations cultures (whose unceded lands these are), clean water, wild salmon, carbon storage, and for tourism and recreation.
Well over 90% of the grandest old-growth forests in BC with the largest trees have been logged and time is running out fast as the industrial logging of these last old-...

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Scotland possesses some of the richest examples in Europe of a rare biome - temperate rainforest. Despite this, there are only thought to be around 30,000 hectares of woodland that have rainforest biodiversity left within the rainforest zone, an area that stretches along the west coast and is characterised by its wet climate. The zone currently holds approximately 93,000 hectares of semi-natural woodland that could potentially harbour this diversity. Ancient or old growth woodlands are the best places to start protecting, expanding and managing this declining habitat.

Learn all about the biotic and abiotic factors that make up temperature forest ecosystems.
Giant red woods...cute squirrels...huge grizzlies and fierce night owls...let's take a look at a temperate forest ecosystem.
Temperate forests are ecosystems with enough rainfall and sunlight for tall trees to grow. Reaching high above the rich soil they grow in are oak trees, maples, elms and birches...to name just a few. The types of trees depends largely on the region too. In North American temperate forests, you'll also find conifers like pines and hemlocks. Australian temperate forests are dominated by Eucalyptus trees. We call them gum trees over here. Not sure why? I'll have to look into that.
Below the towering trees is a diverse layer of grasses, shrubs, ferns and mosses. A variety of mushroom and other fungi, like puffballs and bracket fungi can be found growing in the soil or attached to fallen tree trunks. Fungi play an important role in breaking down plant and animal matter, which recycles vital nutrients back into the soil.
The thick vegetation provides homes for a variety of animal populations - particularly mammals. We're talking bears, deers, porcupines, rabbits, squirrels and big cats like cougars and bobcats...and that's just to name a few.
Tall trees with hollow trunks means plenty of space for birds to raise their young...there's owls, woodpeckers, robins and jays....hawks and eagles too.
The forest floor provides an ideal environment for a range of snakes and lizards...and a huge diversity of insects, spiders and other creepy crawlies. You'll also find animals like earthworms, slugs and snails hiding amongst the leaf litter or under rocks and logs.
Temperate forests usually have four distinct seasons – summer...fall...winter...and spring. The changes in weather from season to season affects in the organisms in the ecosystem.
In fall, the weather begins to cool. To conserve energy, the leaves of some trees change color then fall to the ground. The leaves grow back when the weather warms as spring approaches.
During winter, some animals have leave the ecosystem and return in the spring.
Ahhhh yeh...about those gum trees...They're called gum trees because of the thick sap that oozes from the trunk when they get damaged. .. a bit like chewing gum I guess.
Temperate forests are ecosystems with enough rainfall and sunlight for tall trees to grow. They also have a diverse layer of grass, shrubs, ferns and mosses on the forest floor. Temperate forests are generally cooler than tropical rainforests.

In fall, the weather begins to cool. To conserve energy, the leaves of some trees change color and fall to the ground. They grow back when the weather warms as spring approaches. During winter, some animals leave the ecosystem and return in the spring.
Temperate forests are home to a wide variety of mammals, including bears, squirrels, deer and rodents. The high branches and hollows in trees provide a safe place for many birds to live and raise young. There’s also a variety of invertebrates including snails, spiders, cicadas and beetles.
In a rainforest, there is a great diversity of organisms. There are many different kinds of plants, from tiny mosses to giant trees. Hiding amongst the plants you’ll find many different kinds of animals. There’s also fungi growing on the forest floor or attached to logs and tree trunks.
There are also many non-living things in a rainforest, such as air, water, rocks and soil. All of the organisms and non-living things in a rainforest along with the interactions between them, make up a rainforest ecosystem.
An ecosystem is group of organisms that live and interact with each other and with the non-living things in a specific environment.
The organisms in a given ecosystem live in different places. In a rainforest, there are leeches and insects crawling on the moist rainforest floor. Fish and frogs can be found in and around streams. Monkeys and birds move from tree to tree high up in the canopy. The place where an organism lives within an ecosystem is called a habitat. An organism’s habitat provides it with all of the things it needs to survive.

Monday marks the 50th anniversary of the World Environment Day which aims to raise awareness about environmental protection including rain forests. The crucial role rainforests play in combating climate change is well known. Less well known is that rainforests once covered large parts of Europe as well as the Amazon, sub-Saharan Africa and Indonesia.
In the UK, temperate rain forests once covered 20 per cent of the land but today less than one per cent is left. But awareness of the existence of these unique habitats is growing, as are plans to protect and expand them. Farm owner launches project to triple UK’s temperate rainforest. TRT World’s Simon McGregor-Wood went to a small rainforest in western England to find out more.

The Old-Growth Coastal Temperate Rainforests of British Columbia (Closed Captioned)

The core issues are explained in this video surrounding the controversy over the logging of old-growth coastal temperate rainforests in BC, in a video produced by the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance. Be sure to SEND a MESSAGE to the BC and federal governments to protect old-growth forests at: https://www.endangeredecosystemsalliance.org/news/bc-protected-areas
And please donate at: https://www.endangeredecosystemsalliance.org/donation
Old-growth forests are vital to sustain endangered species, First Nations cultures (whose unceded lands these are), clean water, wild salmon, carbon storage, and for tourism and recreation.
Well over 90% of the grandest old-growth forests in BC with the largest trees have been logged and time is running out fast as the industrial logging of these last old-growth stands occurs at a breakneck speed, spanning an area over 5 times the size of the city of Vancouver each year.
Most forests in BC are second-growth now, and if the BC government fostered a value-added, sustainable second-growth forest industry they could sustain forestry employment levels in BC while protecting the remaining old-growth forests.
