Preview: Biomes How do you think climate effects what vegetation and animals are in a region or area? It will effect the size of the population that supported.

ECOSYSTEMS - 1. Climate Zones- areas of the Earth where certain climate conditions have existed over time (temperature & precipitation)

Biomes

Biomes Biome: Large regions of earth that has specific kinds of organisms Rainfall and Temp determine the plant life

Tundra Coldest of all biomes-frozen most of the year There are no trees, very few plants can survive in this environment Little precipitation and short growing seasons

Coniferous forest Forest of conifers (pine trees) Conifers have needles which have a waxy layer to conserve water Average rainfall- 35-75cm Temp- -10C to 14C

Desert Rainfall is less than 25cm/year Soil is sandy and rocky Plants and animals are adapted to low moisture ( Cactus, nocturnal animals

Deciduous Forest Has trees that have leaves Rainfall: 75-125cm These trees lose their leaves to conserve water during the winter Rainfall: 75-125cm Temp: 6C to 28C

Grassland Dominated by grass (not a lot of trees or large shrubs) Rainfall 25-75cm Temp 0C to 25C

Tropical rain forest Very hot and humid Supports a large biodiversity Rainfall 200-450cm Temp 25C to 28C
