There are some major influences to this biome. The biggest factor is the logging industry, which is cutting the trees down for timber. This has destroyed over 25% of the temperate rainforests. The next problem is when they take the tress out they are causing soil erosion. Another problem is acid rain caused from pollution.
There are also different species of endangered animals living in the rainforest. They include Giant Pandas, Red Pandas, Northern Spotted Hawk, and the Spotted Owl.
The climate is also affecting this biome. The longer and warmer growing season is altering the conditions in which the plants grow. Although not all plants are affected by this and some scientist are even saying it is helping some plants thrive and adapt better. Also greenhouse gasses are affecting the temperature of the climate that the plants and animals that live here are use to.
