What is a Biome? Biome: A group of land ecosystems with similar climates and organisms. Ecosystem: The community of organisms that live in a particular area, along with their nonliving surroundings. Biotic – All living things in an ecosystem (plants, animals, bacteria, etc.) Abiotic – Non-living things in an ecosystem (water, rocks, soil, light, rainfall, etc.)

How many biomes are there and what are they? There are 6 major biomes Rain Forests Desert Grassland Deciduous forest Boreal forest Tundra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIQS8kb1wg4

Rain Forest Biome Two types: Temperate Rain Forests found in the NW US. Tropical Rain Forests found along the equator. Sometimes called Jungles.

Temperate Rain Forest > 300cm of rain/yr. Huge hardwood trees Moderate temperatures http://www.google.com/imgres?q=temperate+rainforest&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbo=d&biw=1280&bih=685&tbm=isch&tbnid=9XlKJdokTeYpnM:&imgrefurl=http://www.treehugger.com/natural-sciences/restoring-ecosystems-biggest-untapped-ally-in-fighting-climate-change.html&docid=XvqCaTCx6AwFLM&imgurl=http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2011/10/20090908-temperate-rainforest.jpg&w=468&h=310&ei=zKupUM2INsK_0AGSroHIAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=427&vpy=203&dur=1437&hovh=183&hovw=276&tx=157&ty=67&sig=112307318176664303917&page=2&tbnh=145&tbnw=232&start=19&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:27,s:0,i:224 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=temperate+rainforest&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbo=d&biw=1280&bih=685&tbm=isch&tbnid=gJBks9swq96VzM:&imgrefurl=http://www.garthlenz.com/contents/Travel/image-lenz-wwf-52/&docid=AOD_oAL0_VMB5M&imgurl=http://cdn.lightgalleries.net/4bd5ec0174be3/images/lenz-wwf-52-2.jpg&w=1000&h=799&ei=zKupUM2INsK_0AGSroHIAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=443&vpy=190&dur=1543&hovh=201&hovw=251&tx=131&ty=73&sig=112307318176664303917&page=3&tbnh=145&tbnw=189&start=43&ndsp=31&ved=1t:429,r:45,s:0,i:278

Temperate Rain Forest

Tropical Rain Forest Close to equator. Warm and humid year round Distinct tree layers (strata) More biodiversity than any other biome! http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSeu8KuVlbFzwZibBj_scueQv-QKUlnSYNlUzivlaYWNAvYJoOH http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRPS_gjYdvF7Ohafofbgm2T9v0yMgUqgXRQWaNg7wm7oS21CIzX

Tropical Rain Forest Biome

Desert Biome < 25cm of rain per year. Evaporation > precipitation Big temperature shifts daily Found outside of the equator Organisms need special adaptations to survive. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrLZE3UYzwXJjzbdNOwDXpqUgQrT5X1SNhWM41dXCIAzZ8piwd5g http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSRj9b63KsXJVCRqpmRWxAGe9eM5o9phHCmoolLcjjK7JjRcU8TKQ

Desert Biomes

Grassland Biome Middle Latitudes Prairie: mostly grasses and other non-woody plants 25-75cm of rain/yr. Savanna: Grasses, small shrubs, and small trees. up to 120cm of rain/yr. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Cumulus_Clouds_over_Yellow_Prairie2.jpg/300px-Cumulus_Clouds_over_Yellow_Prairie2.jpg http://room42.wikispaces.com/file/view/savanna_2.jpg/33513641/savanna_2.jpg

Grassland Biomes

Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome Deciduous trees loose their leaves annually. Rain 50cm/yr. Large variation in temp. over the yr. http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ8fMIUjMQojX6cutzXrrJ5OTeT_Xee65NVfiQPgnVSuuU28b2p_w http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTkkB6jUw1-b13HfMQi8uR87QrgIoCtKVmjJiZzqC0In47CkBmlaQ

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Boreal Forest Biomes AKA Taiga Located in colder regions in the upper middle latitudes Trees are coniferous. Seeds are in cones and leaves are needle shaped. http://cgf3m-2albertaoilsands.wikispaces.com/file/view/Boreal_Forest.jpg/207145204/Boreal_Forest.jpg http://cdn2.planetminecraft.com/files/resource_media/screenshot/1218/scotch-pine-cone-marilynne-bull_2174706.jpg

Boreal Forest Biomes

Tundra Biome Extremely dry and cold Most soil is frozen yr. round, upper area that defrosts = permafrost Plants: mosses, grasses, shrubs and dwarf trees. Shallow ponds/marshy areas in the summer. Located in the Northern Hemisphere and north of the Arctic Circle. http://www.marietta.edu/~biol/biomes/images/tundra/alaskatundra3.jpg
