4. Vocabulary
Biome = one of earths large ecosystems each with its own type of climate.
Desert = a sandy, rocky, biome with little precipitation, and little plant life.
Tundra = a large treeless plain in the artic regions where the ground is frozen all year.
Taiga = a cool forest biome of conifers, in the upper Northern Hemisphere.
Tropical Rainforest = a hot, humid biome near the equator, with much rainfall, and a wide variety of life.

5. Vocabulary ( continued)
Temperate forest = a biome with a lot of rain and a cool climate.
Deciduous forest = a forest biome with many kinds of trees that lose their leaves each autumn.
Grassland = a biome where grasses, not trees, are the main part of life.

6. Ls. 3 What are Biomes Deserts are treeless and extremely dry biomes
Desert soil is often rich in minerals but poor in animal and plant decay.
Plants and animals need special adaptations to survive in dry deserts.(Ex. Cactus store water in their stems and branches
Only a few animals stay awake in the suns heat
Most desert animals are active at night

7. What are Harsh Biomes
The tundra is a large treeless biome where the ground is frozen all year.
In the short summer the tundra stays light almost all day and temperatures rise above freezing
Very few animals have adapted to living in the tundra
The taiga is the worlds largest biome
Unlike the tundra the taiga is full of coniferous evergreen trees
The taiga has a longer growing season than the tundra
Many taiga animals have thick layers of fat that protect against the cold
Many hibernate to avoid the coldest winter months

8. What are Some Other Forest Biomes
Forest Floor is a home to many insects , Frogs, and Mice
Canopy is thick with plant life
Emergent Layer is the highest layer
Epiphytes can be lichens or plants, such as mosses and some ferns, that grow on trees

9. What are grasslands African grassland is called savannah
Temperate grasslands has cold winters and hot summers
Grassland are wetter than deserts
Grassland soil is rich with nutrients
Fires are common in the biome
Grassland are producers of the ecosystem
25% of the earth is grassland
