Question

Compare and contrast the two types of rainforests. Be sure to include information for both biotic and abiotic factors.

Answer 1

In a temperate rainforest you will notice the more cool, less wet, atmosphere. This type of rainforest has less sunlight due to the amount of clouds and trees blocking the light. Its soil has good/plenty of nutrients which is good for the plants and things that grow there. The temperature is average/mild. Biotic factors of a temperate rainforest could be the animals it has, such as owls, frogs, birds, slugs, etc. As well as once-living things such as things like dead leaves on the rainforest floor.

The second type of rainforests, the tropical, is close to the equator. Being hot and as well having a lot of rainfall. Also does have good soil/nutrients allowing good amounts of vegetation. Biotic factors are things like toucans, frogs, snakes, etc.

Explanation:

Hope this works.

Answer 2

The ecosystem of the forest is formed by the interaction between the abiotic and biotic factors. Abiotic factors are the non-living factors: water, temperature,light,cloud cover, and soil. Biotic factors oh the other hand are the living organisms. Tropical rain forests are hot, moist forests found near Earth's equator.
Temperate rain forests are cool and dry.
Abiotic factors in temperate rain forest:
1. Temperature:The climate in the temperate rain forests is mild.
2. Water: moist and lush.
3. Light: many clouds block the sunlight.
4. Soil: nutrition rich.
Biotic factors:beavers, raccoons , cougars and black bears.

Abiotic factors in tropical rain forest:
1. Temperature: hot, near the Earth's equator
2. Water:60 to 160 inches of precipitation

Biotic factors: the greatest biodiversity in the world,
rubber and bamboo trees, sloths, anteaters, poison dart frogs,
