determine where biomes are?
• Precipitation and Temperature

TundraTundra• Is a cold, treeless biome that covers the
poles.
• Permafrost – permanently frozen soil.
• Lowest Biodiversity

Temperate Deciduous ForestsTemperate Deciduous Forests
• Characterized by trees that lose all their leaves in the fall.
• What we live in
• Medium Biodiversity

GrasslandsGrasslands• This ecosystem is dominated by grasslands,
with less rainfall than deciduous forest.
• Central U.S.
• Mostly turned into Farm land
• Med to Low biodiversity

DesertsDeserts• Areas that receive less than 9 inches of
rain a year.
• Temperatures range from 20 (night) to 120.
• Low Biodiversity

• Highest Biodiversity
