Slide 1- Amelia
The Tasmanian Rainforest is a dense and unique ecosystem in Tasmania characterized by high rainfall. This hot, moist biome experiences year-round precipitation, which supports a rich undergrowth of mosses and ferns.
Slide 2 Abiotic- Nat
Many Abiotic and Biotic factors existed in the Tasmanian rainforest before human impact. Including water availability and soil. The forest is covered in about 2km of freshwater streams and rivers. An average rainfall of above 1500mm yearly is essential for the ecosystem’s health and survival. The soil is fertile and enriched with decomposing organic matter, with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium found in these soils, varying depending on location and vegetation types.
Slide 2 Bitotic- Amelia
The Tasmanian rainforest is home to diverse flora and fauna, with two key native species: the Tasmanian devil and the Tasmanian Blue gum. The primary threat to its survival is Devil Facial Tumour Disease, a rapidly progressing cancer that can be fatal within months. In contrast, the Tasmanian Blue gum, a native eucalyptus tree, is well adapted to various climates, allowing it to thrive and expand under different conditions.
Slide 3 Nat
Human activities like logging and land clearing have severely impacted the rainforest. Logging disrupts habitats, affecting animal populations, while land clearing for agriculture further endangers biodiversity. Mining for tin and copper which is a regular thing in the rainforest leads to land degradation, soil erosion, and water pollution, threatening the ecosystem’s balance.
