1 Land Biomes Of the World

2 Tropical Rainforest Climate: It rains almost everyday (more than 200 cm a year) Very warm and humid (a lot of water vapor in the air) Located near the equator

3 Consumers: Cat family (Tigers, panthers), insects, spiders, frogs, reptiles, monkeys, apes, snakes, colorful birds, and sloths.

4 - Trees, ferns, fruits, vines, and flowers. Canopy
Emergent Layer Producers: More kinds of plants grow in the tropical rainforest than other biomes - Trees, ferns, fruits, vines, and flowers. Canopy Understory Forest Floor

5 Extra facts: *Half of all animals on Earth are found here * Find many medicines in the TRF Used to cover 14% of land on Earth, now only cover 6% * About square miles of rainforest are cut each day

6 Desert Climate: Very dry, little precipitation, hot days, cool nights
*Found on every continent except Europe *Less than 25 cm of rain per year

7 Producers: (Very few) Sahara=palm trees *Arizona= saguaro (cacti) and yucca Succulent Plants: Plants that can store water

8 Consumers: Both=Snakes, lizards, rodents, scorpions Arizona=tortoises , jackrabbits, owls, donkeys, kangaroo rats, insects, gray fox *Sahara= Camels, goats, fennec fox

9 Nocturnal Animals that are active at night and sleep during the day

10 Diurnal Organisms active during the day and sleep at night.

11 Sahara Desert – Sand, palm trees, camels

12 Arizona Desert = Cacti, tortoises, birds, mountains

13 Different types of Deserts. Sahara vs. Arizona desert
Extra facts: Very few large animals live in the desert because food and water are hard to find. Different types of Deserts. Sahara vs. Arizona desert /

14 Deciduous Forest Climate: warm summers, cold winters, moist spring, four seasons. Precipitation varies

15 Consumers: Bears, deer, foxes, raccoons, possums, squirrels, insects, wolves, and birds.

16 Producers: Wildflowers, ferns, mosses, most tress are deciduous (oak, hickory, and maple trees)

17 Deciduous Trees Trees that drop their leaves and grow new ones each year. The leaves change color.

18 *Many of the animals hibernate or migrate (birds and butterflies)
Extra Facts: *Many of the animals hibernate or migrate (birds and butterflies)

19 Boreal Forest (Coniferous Forest, Taiga)
Climate: cold, some rain *Large amounts of snow fall *Winter is 6 months of the year

20 Consumers Deer, ducks, geese, moose, mountain goats, bears, bighorn sheep, lynxes, rabbits, squirrels, porcupine,

21 Coniferous Trees- *Produce their seeds in cones and needle shaped leaves *Always stay green * Needles help to keep water in FEMALE CONE (Have seeds) MALE CONES (Have pollen)

22 Producers Conifers, mosses, lichens, wildflowers
MOST OF THE TREES ARE CONIFERS *Coniferous= Evergreen

23 Extra Facts Coniferous trees stay green all year
* Many of the organisms eat the trees or seeds * Because there are so many herbivores, the forest can also support many large carnivores

24 Grassland Climate: moderate to very warm most of the year, short winters, & humid summers. Average amount of precipitation.

25 Consumers Savanna: Zebras, giraffes, elephants, lions hyenas, rhinos, hippos, hyenas Prairie: Antelope, badgers, prairie dogs, moles, ground squirrels, hares, gophers

26 Producers Grasses, very few trees

27 Extra Facts Extra facts: also called savannas, prairies, and steppes

28 Tundra *Very cold, little rain, lots of snow
*Winter is 10 months of the year

29 Consumers Reindeer, arctic foxes, wolves, snowy owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, lemmings, voles, marmots, mosquitoes, and flies.

30 Producers Grow during two summer months Mosses, grasses, shrubs, lichens NO TREES because the soil is frozen = permafrost.

31 Extra Facts Animals here have very thick fur
