Do Now What do you think of when you think of polar bears? You probably imagine them in a snow-covered setting. Why don’t polar bears live in the desert?

Biomes A major biological community that occurs over a large area of land is called a biome. Seven major biomes cover most of the Earth’s land surface.

What are biomes? Biomes are regions of the world with similar climate, animals, and plants.

Biomes Biome is a term that describes a very large ecosystem. There are six major biomes. Biome is a term that describes a very large ecosystem. There.

A group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms.

Biomes. Tropical Rainforests Physical --- Warm & humid, found near equator, sunlight constant throughout the year Physical --- Warm & humid, found near.

Biomes. A biome is one of Earth’s large ecosystems, with its own kind of climate, soil, plants, and animals.

TYPES OF FOREST ECOSYSTEM. DECIDOUS FOREST Decidous forest: are dominated by Decidous trees. These trees shed their leaves each year and re grow them.

Biome = region characterized by distinct plant and animal populations along with similar abiotic conditions. Change by latitude Ocean biomes = marine.

B. Biome - plant and animal community. 1. Forest - tree covered a. deciduous (broadleaf) - trees that lose their leaves each season.

17.2 Land Biomes. Why do you think there are so many different kinds of organisms in a tropical rain forest?

LAND BIOMES. Tundra inches of precipitation per year Winter -15 Summer 54F Soil is permafrost; frozen or partly frozen year round; fragile environment.

IX. Biomes Biomes = a large group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms. Two factors that will determine which biome will be dominant on.

What is a biome?  A biome is a large geographical region characterized by distinctive types of plants and animals and a specific climate  Sometimes.

Terrestrial vs. Aquatic

Ecosystems & Organisms. Organisms live and survive by interacting with the living and non-living elements of their ecosystem. Ecosystems have different.

The biosphere is divided into major areas called biomes.

Essential Questions  What are the six major biomes found on Earth?  What factors determine the type of biome found in an area?

World Biomes A variety of ecosystems that are grouped according to similar climates.

Biomes Group of ecosystems that have the same climate and dominant communities.

Terrestrial Ecosystems

Forests Many trees Temperatures vary Plenty of rainfall

Deciduous Forest Has 4 seasons Trees that lose their leaves Plants – trees, ferns, mosses, shrubs, grasses Animals – bears, foxes, rabbits, deer, snakes, cardinals, owls

Coniferous Forest Colder temperatures Trees that produce seeds in cones and have leaves shaped like needles. Do not lose leaves in fall Animals – elk, moose, beavers, wolves, finches, and jays

Tropical Rainforests Very warm, very rainy, humid Rich in plant and animal life Animals – monkeys, panthers, snakes and other reptiles, spiders, parrots, and toucans.

Temperate Rainforests Cooler temperatures, very rainy, humid Largest along the Pacific Coast of the U.S.

Grasslands Fertile soil covered by tall grasses and some woody shrubs, hardly any trees Warm Some rainfall Gently rolling hills Animals – prairie dogs, grasshoppers, birds, bison

Grasslands In North America the grasslands are called Prairies

Example: Types of Trees/Plants found in each, amount of rainfall, animals.
