Five Abiotic Factors in a Giant Panda’s Habitat

Temperature

Giant pandas live in cool, humid temperate forests where temperatures typically range from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius (50 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit).

Precipitation

Their habitat receives abundant rainfall, averaging 1,000 to 1,500 millimeters (40 to 60 inches) annually.

Sunlight

Dense forest canopies block much of the sunlight. Pandas are most active at dawn and dusk when light is less intense.

Humidity

They prefer humid environments, with average relative humidity between 60 and 80 percent.

Altitude

Giant pandas inhabit mountainous regions at elevations of 1,500 to 3,500 meters (4,900 to 11,500 feet) above sea level.
