Abiotic Factors
- Some of the abiotic factors include temperature, clouds, lights, soil, and water.
- Temperature in a temperate rain forest is more than 0, meaning it is not freezing cold.
- The temperature is around 4-12 Celsius.
- Due to the temperate temperature, there are lots of clouds and fogs, which in turn will block the light.
- Even when the sky is clear, the tall canopy tree will form a roof of the forest.
- The soil is very nutrient-rich due to the decomposer life fungi return nutrient to the soil by decaying organic materials.
- Temperate rainforest are very moist and there are abundant of water. They received around 60-200 cm of rain each year.
Temperature
A temperature is a numerical measure of hot and cold. Its measurement is by detection of heat radiation, particle velocity, kinetic energy, or most commonly,
by the bulk behavior of a thermometric material. It may be calibrated in any of various temperature scales, Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, etc.

Water
Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound, a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice; and gaseous state, steam
Soil
Soil is the mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids, and the myriad of organisms that together support plant life. It is a natural body that exists as part of the pedosphere and which performs four important functions: it is a medium for plant growth; it is a means of water storage, supply and purification; it is a modifier of the atmosphere; and it is a habitat for organisms that take part in decomposition of organic matter and the creation of a habitat for new organisms.
Clouds
|
In meteorology, a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body.
These suspended particles are also known as aerosols and are studied in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. |

Lights
Light is radiant energy, usually referring to electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm), or 400×10−9 m, to 700 nanometres – between the infrared, with longer wavelengths and theultraviolet, with shorter wavelengths.These numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision, but the approximate range within which most people can see reasonably well under most circumstances.
