Vegetation characteristics of temperate maritime climate
Vegetation characteristics:
The main tree species that make up the temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest are oak, beech, maple, cypress, linden and birch. Their leaves are wide and thin, falling leaves in autumn and winter and growing leaves in spring and summer, so this kind of forest is also called summer green forest.
The vertical structure of the community generally has four very clear levels: tree layer, shrub layer, herb layer and moss lichen layer. Lianas and epiphytes are rare. In winter, all layers of plants wither in Xia Rong, and the seasonal changes are very obvious. The consumption animals of green forest in summer are mice, squirrels, deer, birds, foxes, wolves and bears.
Extended data:
The main reason for this climate is that this area is located on the west coast of the mid-latitude (40 ~ 60) mainland, and it is westerly all year round. The wind blows from the West Sea, and there is a warm current along the coast, which makes the west wind warmer and wetter. After landing, it will be lifted by the terrain, so that a large amount of precipitation can be realized.
As far as Western Europe is concerned, the coastal North Atlantic warm current is very strong, with high temperature and humidity, and the coast is particularly tortuous. The Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic Sea extend inland. In addition, western Europe is low-lying, with plains and mountains running east-west. Therefore, westerly winds and cyclones can go deep inland, expanding the scope of the Atlantic Ocean, making the temperate maritime climate in Western Europe particularly typical.
Temperate maritime climate, high latitude, rainy, light and heat conditions are generally not suitable for the development of planting (except Paris Basin, where the heat conditions are good and there are planting distribution), and generally animal husbandry (such as northern Scotland), flower planting (such as the Netherlands) and other agricultural types with less heat requirements are the main ones.
The mild, cloudy and humid maritime climate gives people a comfortable feeling; In fact, living in a maritime climate is mild, but gloomy and rainy weather is not conducive to people's spiritual and emotional development.
