Biome Research By Evan A. Carr

Location: North America, Europe, and Asia. Description: Very cool all year long. Many types of trees. Soil type: The soil is thick and acidic. The soil is also permanently frozen. Not good for growth. Precipitation: 10 – 30 inches of rain per year. Temperature range: Mild in the summer and cold in the winter. Climate: Cool all year long with long summers and short winters.
3
Plants Animals pines squirrels alder elk spruces jays fins snow hare oak moles birch bears willow wolves conifers moose Overall, there are more than 16 species.
4
Plants: Conifers do not drop leaves to conserve energy. Waxy needles help conserve precious water through transpiration Animals: Think fur helps save warmth. Some animals migrate to a warmer area. Most organisms that survive here have camouflaged fur to blend in with the environment.
5
Biotic Help: Plant seeds provide food for small animals, such as squirrels. Abiotic Help: The bogs and ponds in the Taiga provide a great summertime breeding place. Fires enrich the soil.
6
Biodiversity is the variety of living organisms in the environment. This includes all the abiotic and biotic counterparts in the habitat.
7
If the ecosystem does not have a wide variety of life, it will not thrive as well as others that do. An example is a desert compared to a rainforest. The desert barely supports life because of the little amount of organisms. The rainforest however has many types of life.
