Ecosystems and Biomes

Ecosystems

Areas formed by plants and animals that have adapted to the environment

Main Biomes 1.Desert 2.Tundra 3.Grassland 4.Deciduous Forest 5.Taiga 6.Tropical Rainforest

Desert

Nocturnal animals Can be very hot or very cold Plants have adapted or they didn’t survive

Tundra

Permafrost – permanently frozen soil just below the surface Very cold Plants have adapted or they didn’t survive

Grasslands

Grassland Cool in winter and hot in summer Flat areas of grass

Deciduous Forest

Mild climate and adequate rainfall Most trees will lose their leaves in the winter

Taiga

Taiga (Boreal Forest) The largest biome Low temperatures Precipitation is primarily snow

Rainforest

Tropical Rain Forest Typically found near the equator Warm and lots of rain 6 % of the earth, but 40 % of the oxygen

Similar climates, vegetation, or landforms and be divided into formal regions
