Coastal temperate rainforest

Coastal temperate rainforests are lush, green ecosystems found along coastlines in mild, wet climates. These forests typically feature tall trees like cedar, fir, and spruce, and are known for their high levels of rainfall and humidity. The combination of abundant moisture and relatively moderate temperatures supports rich biodiversity, including mosses, ferns, and various animal species. They play a crucial role in carbon storage and are vital for local wildlife habitats, making them important for ecological health and conservation efforts. Notable regions include parts of the Pacific Northwest in North America and southern Chile.
