Introduction:

Different ecosystems are home to

different kinds of organisms, certain ones.

There are different kinds of certain places

and the scientific name is ¨Biomes¨, Which

means: A large region characterized by a

specific type of climate and certain types

of plants and animal communities.

This map shows some of the

major land biomes on Earth.

Forest Biomes:

Temperate Deciouous Forest

Caniferous Forest

Tropical Rain Forest

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Characteristics:

In forests, plants growth happends in layers. The leafy

tops of the trees reach high above the forest floor, where

the leaves can get sunlight.

Woody shrubs catch the light that filters trhough the

trees.

Ferns and mosses are scattered across the firest floor.

Flowering plants often bloom in early spring, before the

trees grow new leaves.

The word deciduous comes fron the Latin word taht

means ¨ to fall off¨

Average

Yearly Rainfall:

75-125 cm

Average

tempetures:

S: 28°C

W: 6°C

Coniferous Forest:

Characteristic:

These Conifer leaves are adapted to conserve

water.

A coniferous forest is home to many insects and to

birds that eat those insects.

Hervivores that live in thise forest include deer,

moose, porcuponines, and squirrels.

Average Yearly Rainfall:

35-75 cm

Average Temperatures:

S: 14°C

W: -10°C

Tropical Rain Forest

Characteristics:

Trees from a continuous green roof, or canopy

that may exted 60 m above the forest floor.

Woody vines climb the tree trunks to reach

sunlight.

Little light reaches the ground. Low-growing

plants in the rain forest don´t need a lot of light.

Average Yearly

Rainfall:

Up to 400 cm

Average

Temperatures:

Day: 34°C

Night:20°C

Grasslands

Temperate Grasslands

Savannas

Temperate Grasslands:

Characteristics:

Temperate grasslands plants includes grasses and

other flowering plants.

Temperate Grasslands have few trees.

Average yearly rainfall:

25-75 cm

Average Tempetures:

S: 30°C

W: 0°C

Savannas:

Characteristics:

A grassland that often has scattered trees and

taht is found in tropical and subtropical areas

where seasonal rains, fires, and drought happend.

During dry seasons, savanna grasses dry out and

turn yellow.

Average Yearly Rainfall:

150 cm

Average tempetures:

Dry: 34°C

Wet: 16°C

Desert:

Characteristics: A region that has little or no plant life, kong

periods without rain and extreme temperatures; usually found in hot climates.

Deep-rooted plants can reach groundwater as deep as 30 cm.

Some flowering plants bloom, bear seeds, and die within a few weeks after a heavy rain.

Most living things have something special tosurvive in the desert.

Average Yearly

Rainfall:

Less than 25 cm

Average Tempetures:

S: 38°C

W: 7°C

Tundra: A treeless plain found in the Artic, In the Sntartic, or

on the tops of mountains that is characterized by

very low winter temperatures and short, coolsummers.

Polar Tundra

Alpine Tundra

Polar Tundra: Permafrost is the layer of soil beneath the surface.

Soil stays frozen all the time.

Alpine Tundra

o Find at the top of tall mountains, above an

elevation called the tree line. Trees ca not grow

there

Polar Tundra

Alpine Tundra

Rain: 30-50 cmS: 12°C W: -26°C
