temperate rainforests

Temperate rainforests are lush forests found in regions with mild temperatures and high rainfall, such as the Pacific Northwest of North America. They are characterized by tall, dense trees like Douglas firs and redwoods, rich plant diversity, and thick layers of moss and ferns. These forests support a wide variety of wildlife and play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. The consistent moisture and moderate climate create ideal conditions for both plant growth and complex ecosystems, making them some of the world's most productive and unique natural environments.
