Instrumental values
• One Instrumental value is the Biodiversity of organisms.
• Another Instrumental value is its aesthetic value.
• The Educational value of the Temperate Rainforest

Limiting Factor
• Limiting Factors of the Biome include:
• Population size, availability of food, predation pressure, disease, Natural disasters, hunting, human activity,
![Page 15: Temperate Rainforest By: Anthony R. A.P. Environmental Science Academy Teatown Lake Reservation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649cab5503460f9496d2a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Locus of Concern
• Logging occurs in the Temperate Rainforest
• Loss of habitat and loss of biodiversity
• Hunting of Black Tailed Deer
• Humans that live in the area of the biome have distanced them selves from the biome.
• Some human activity does occur, logging and hunting.
