Caring For The Planet - Temperate Woodlands

Product Description

The clue to what makes temperate woodland regions different from other regions on Earth lies in the name. Temperate refers to a type of climate: one that is warm in the summer, cool in the winter, and has two other seasons that mark a change between these - autumn and spring. Rain falls frequently throughout the year (but mainly in autumn and winter). The average tree growing in the temperate forest needs at least 30 centimetres of rain a year. Temperate areas life halfway between the hot and humid equator and the cold and dry places. In fact, this is what the word temperate means - somewhere between hot and cold.
