Biomes of the World Section 20-1

What is a biome? A biome Is a group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms There are 6 major terrestrial biomes in the world Temperate/Deciduous forest Coniferous Forest – (Taiga/Boreal) Tropical Rainforest Grassland Desert Tundra

Temperate/Deciduous Forest Location: North-Central and South-East U.S. Central Europe Eastern Asia Southeast Canada

Temperate/Deciduous Forest Climate Temperature Between -30C and 30C That is -22F and 89F Precipitation Between 75 and 150 cm a year

Temperate/Deciduous Forest - plants Oak Hickory Chestnut

Temperate/Deciduous Forest - animals

Coniferous (Boreal/Taiga Forest) Location Northwestern Canada Western Russia Northern North America North Eurasia Alaska

Taiga Climate Temp. Extremely cold Between -40C and 20C That is -40F and 68F Precip. 30 – 90 cm of rain a year Taiga

Taiga Plants

Taiga Animals

Tropical Rainforest Location: Near the equator South America: Brazil, Venezuela, Peru Asia Indonesia, Philippines Africa Zaire, Kenya, Madagascar Australia

Tropical Rainforest Climate: Temperature Mild (medium) temperatures Between 20°C and 25°C That is 65°F and 77°F Precipitation Extremely wet 200 to 1000 cm of rain a year! Average monthly rainfall and temperature in the rainforest area of Manaus, Brazil.

Tropical Rainforest - Plants Tropical Rainforest - Plants Carnivorous Plants – adapted to get nutrients from other organisms Epiphytes – plants that do not grown on the ground Bromeliads – leaves form a bowl shape in the middle to collect rainwater Vines – thick, woody stems to support themselves

Tropical Rainforest - Animals Spider Monkey Toucan Poison-Arrow Sloth Frog

Grasslands Location: Argentina Australia Central North America New Zealand South Africa

Grasslands Climate Temp. Between -16C and 34C That is 3F and 93F Precip. Between 50 and 130 cm of rain a year

Types of Grasslands Savanna Chaparral Scrublands Steppe Pampas Prairies

Grassland Plants

Grassland Animals

Desert Location North America Arizona, Nevada, California Australia South America Arabian Peninsula Africa

Desert Climate Temp. Precip. Between -4C and 38C That is 25F and 100F Less than 25 cm a year

Desert Plants

Desert Animals

Tundra Location Antartica North Pole North Canada Alaska

Tundra Climate Temp. Extremely cold Between -40C and 18C That is -40F and 64F Precip. Less than 25 cm per year The tundra is a cold desert!! Tundra
