What is a biome? Major regional group Communities at steady stable state Terrestrial and aquatic biomes Often given local names

Latitude classifications Major climate influencing factor Correlation between distribution of climates with latitude Humidity Biodiversity increases away from the poles towards the equator.

Latitude classification Arctic or subarctic area Humid type: Tundra nsidc.org Subarctic and boreal area Humid type: taiga or boreal forests borealforests.com Temperate cold Humid type: temperate broad leaf and mixed forests and Temperate coniferous forest. alanbetts.com

Temperate warm or sub-tropical Humid: subtropical moist broad leaf forest Semi-humid: tropic and subtropical dry broadleaf forests

Humid area: tropical rain forests Semi humid area: tropical coniferous forests Semi-arid area: tropical grasslands and savannas Arid area: deserts and shrublands usercontent1.hubmig.com

Climate zones and biomes Major factors that influence climate Same type of climate zone can be found in similar latitudes and in similar positions. Continental climates Southern hemisphere

Köppen classification system Based on temperature, the amount of precipitation, and time of the year when precipitation occurs. Köppen climate classification

Influence of convection cells

Formation of specialized biomes Rain shadow effect Dry area Mountainous area blocks the passage of rain
