		These forests are noted for their high biomass production on relatively infertile soils, and for a dominant species, the swamp gum (Eucalyptus regnans), which is the tallest flowering plant in the world, growing over 100 m in height.
		The forests of this ecoregion have considerable economic value: native conifers such as King Billy pine and Huon pine as well as some eucalypts are valued for their timber; the leatherwood tree is a nectar source for valuable honey; and the Wilderness Area draws large numbers of tourists.
		The Tasmanian Temperate Rainforest ecoregion includes the majority of three IBRA’s: all of 'D Entrecasteaux' and 'West and South West', and most of 'Woolnorth', except for King Island.

	Terraformers Society of Canada - Temperate Forest (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Temperate coniferous forests are a terrestrial biome found in temperate regions of the world with warm summers and cool winters and adequate rainfall to sustain a forest.
		Temperate evergreen forests are common in the coastal areas of regions that have mild winters and heavy rainfall, or inland in drier climates or mountain areas.
		The temperate coniferous rain forests sustain the highest levels of biomass in any terrestrial ecosystem and are notable for trees of massive proportions, including Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron gigantea), Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis), Alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides) and Kauri (Agathis australis).

	Flora & Fauna
		Tropical rain forest in the north and northwest coastal fringes include palms, hoop pines, tree ferns, and mangroves in coastal swamps.
		On the east coast, south of 26 degrees south latitude, tropical rain forest is replaced by subtropical and temperate rain forest of palms, tree ferns, and eucalyptus, and eventually by beeches and conifers in Tasmania.
		Tall dense forests originally covered most of the coastal fringe and highlands, while in the arid inland areas there may be only saltbush and spinifex, although grasses and wildflowers like Sturt's desert pea and kangaroo paw in arid regions.

	Rainforest of Tasmania
		Cool temperate rainforest is characterised by an open and verdant, cathedral-like quality; a silent, cool, dark and damp place where both the trunks of trees and the forest floor are festooned with a luxuriant carpet of mosses and lichens.
		Tasmanian rainforest is such a quiet place that sometimes it seems that there are no animals.
		Of the reptiles, the Tasmanian tree frog, tiger snake and brown skink are relatively common.

	Deciduous Forest Biome
		Forests in the temperate world experience a wide range of variability in temperature and precipitation.
		Structurally, these forests are characterized by 4 layers: a canopy composed of mature full-sized dominant species and a slightly lower layer of mature trees, a shrub layer, and understory layer of grasses and other herbaceous plants.
		In contrast to tropical rain forests, most biodiversity is concentrated much closer to the forest floor.

		Temperate rain forest, covering less than 30% of the area below the treeline, is characterised by the dominance of Antarctic tree species, a generally low diversity of higher plants and a rich cryptogamic flora.
		Rain forest species such as myrtle beech, sassafras and tree ferns replace the wet sclerophyll understorey where fire frequency has been low (Government of Australia, 1988).
		The closed forest (temperate rain forest), open forest (eucalypt forest), buttongrass moorland and the alpine communities occur in an unique mosaic of Antarctic and Australian elements of the flora.

	Temperate Rainforests
		Cool Temperate Rainforests (also called Moss Forests) are found at altitudes of 900 to 1500 metres, and receive between 1750mm to 3000mm of rain each year.
		Animals of the cool temperate rainforests of Australia include ringtail possums, pademelons, spotted tailed quolls, and the dusky antechinus, tree frogs, rosellas and fl currawongs.
		Tasmanian rainforest contains some of the most ancient invertebrates such the large land snail, Macleay's swallowtail butterfly, freshwater crayfish and the peripatus, or velvet worm.

		The cool-temperate rain forest is most appropriately considered a mosaic of floristic types responding locally to key environmental gradients and soil conditions, reflected in gradual shifts in dominance and species richness.
		In the Andes, the evergreen angiosperm and mixed angiosperm-gymnosperm forests are eventually succeeded by predominantly deciduous forests comprised of Nothofagus pumilio (picture) and N.
		Forests were destroyed as the land was cleared for settlements and agriculture, and trees were cut for construction materials and fuelwood.

		Early settlers were so horrified by the spine-chilling screech, fl appearance, and ferocious appetite of Australia's largest carnivorous marsupial that they called it "The Devil." Today, Tasmanian devils are better appreciated for the role they play in cleaning up dead carcasses from the bush and on farms.
		This Global ecoregion is made up of these terrestrial ecoregions: Tasmanian Central Highland forests; Tasmanian temperate rain forests.
		The temperate rain forests of Tasmania are extraordinarily complex and contain relict species from the time when the island was part of the supercontinent Gondwana.

		Conservationists interested in preserving biodiversity have generally focused on the preservation of tropical moist broadleaf forests (commonly known as tropical rainforests) because it is estimated that they harbor one half of Earth's species.
		Several habitats, such as Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub biome, were determined to be more threatened than tropical rain forests, and therefore require concerted conservation action.

		The truth is that native forest, a mix of rainforest and tall eucalypts, takes thousands of years to form, with its rich ecosystems brimming with biodiversity.
		The people living in Tasmania would prefer that the forests be harvested in a sustainable way, and made into hardwood furniture, for example, or any other use of the timber that doesn't throw the island's ecosystem down the woodchipper for two cents a ton.
		Tasmanian politicians will tell you how much of Tasmanian forest is protected, but the problem with that argument is that these laws are not enforced.

		In 1982-83, 1997-98 and 2002, millions of hectares of montane and lowland forests, of peat and swamp forest were burning while massive movements of population and animals flew the fires.
		Apart from crippling local economies, forest fires are major contributors of toxic gaseous and particle air pollutants into the atmosphere and are also sources of "greenhouse" and reactive gases, directly impacting on global warming and immediate weather patterns.
		Forest peoples' livelihoods were devastated and, as a result, food shortages were suffered in some areas.
