Tropical Rain Forest Found near the equator in Africa, South America, Australia, and the Pacific Islands Brainpop - Tropical Rain Forest

Tropical Rain Forest Found near the equator 78 to 89 inches precipitation yearly

Tropical Rain Forest Hot and humid all year Temperatures are fairly constant around 77ºF

Tropical Rain Forest Soil is nutrient poor and acidic Most plants have shallow roots

Tropical Rain Forest Layers of Vegetation •Emergent: Trees that grow above the canopy layer. •Canopy - tree tops that shade the ground below •Understory - shrub layer Forest floor - dark and moist layer of dead leaves, twigs, and seeds

Life in the Tropical Rain Forest The tropical rain forest is a lush, productive ecosystem containing more than half of all the species that live on Earth

Plants of the Tropical Rain Forest A rain forest may contain more than 700 species of trees and over 1000 species of flowering plants Examples: Mahogany trees Bromeliads and orchids Giant ferns Many flowering plants

Plants of the Tropical Rain Forest Mahogany tree Notice how the roots rise above the ground to help support this giant tree!

Animals of the Tropical Rain Forest The rain forest is home to a huge number of animals Examples: Monkeys Exotic birds Snakes Sloths Bats Insects Large cats Exotic mammals

Grassland The Bread Basket of the World Found on every continent Brainpop - Savanna

Grasslands are known by many names U.S.A. – Prairie or Plains Asia – Steppe South America – Pampas Africa –Veldt or Savanna Australia - Savanna

Grassland Wet seasons followed by a season of drought 63 to 190 inches precipitation yearly Fairly warm temperatures

Grassland The soil is rich and fertile The grass has extensive root systems, called sod

Plants of the Grassland Grassland regions of the world are important farming areas Cereal and grains grow here Examples: Wheat Rye Barley Corn

Animals of the Grassland The most noticeable animals in grassland ecosystems are usually grazing mammals

Desert Found on every continent The driest biome on Earth Brainpop - Desert

Desert Extreme temperatures- Very hot during the day and cool at night

Desert Very little rainfall Less than 63 inches precipitation yearly

Desert The soil ranges from gravel to sand Soil is nutrient poor

Plants of the (Hot) Desert Desert plants have evolved adaptations to help them survive in the extreme temperatures and dryness of this biome Examples: Cactus Mesquite Joshua trees Wildflowers Creosote

Plants of the (Hot) Desert Cactus Saguaro Prickly Pear

Animals of the (Hot) Desert The animals of the desert are adapted to the hot temperatures Examples: Lizards Camels Snakes Scorpions Kangaroo rat Gila Monster Predatory birds Tarantula

Animals of the (Hot) Desert Lizards Desert Iguana Frilled Lizard

Animals of the (Hot) Desert Camel

Animals of the (Hot) Desert Gila Monster

Animals of the (Hot) Desert Predatory birds Great Horned Owl Kestrel

Animals of the (Cold) Desert These animals are technically part of a marine (aquatic) biome, but are found in the icy waters off of Antarctica and the Arctic Circle (with exception of Seals and Penguins).
