Biomes Biosphere is broken into several different biomes Biomes can be land or water biomes Biomes are separated by climate, plant, and animal life.

Land Biomes Tundra Taiga Temperate Deciduous Forest Tropical Rain Forest Grassland Desert Chaparral wetlands

Tundra Soil frozen all year long Top of the planet Plants Mosses/lichens Animals Snowy Owl, Caribou

Snowy Owl Arctic Fox

Environmental issues Drilling for oil Melting ice Sensitive ecosystem

Taiga Long severe winters ACIDIC SOIL Low to med precipitation 20-60 cm Animals Moose, Black Bear, grizzly Plants Conifers (Christmas trees)

Environmental issues Logging/clearcutting Mining Acid rain

Temperate Deciduous Forest Cold winters and warm summers (this is the type of forest in new york) Up to 250 cm or precipitation (a lot) Animals Squirrel, fox, deer, rabbits Plants Trees that drop leaves in the fall (maple, oak, elm) Soil is rich due to leaves dropped!

Environmental issues Logging/clearcutting Fracking! Acid rain

Tropical Rain Forest Heavy Rainfall, Always warm POOR quality soil –everything is recycled Animals Snakes, monkeys, leopards, (basically all the cool jungle animals you see on TV) Plants Ferns, bamboo, broad leaf plants

Environmental issues Clearcutting for farms Loss of species Soil destruction desertification

Grassland Rainfall and temperature vary generally 10-60 cm Rich Soil Animals Prarie dog bison Lions, zebras, giraffes Plants grasses

Environmental issues Poaching Farming destroys soil

Desert Very little rainfall High daily temperatures, low nightly temperatures Animals Rats, lizards, snakes Plants cactus

Environmental issues Water! Sensitive ecosystem

Water Biomes

Aquatic (Water) Biomes 70% of the earth is covered in water Amount of dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature, light and minerals effect the water biomes 2 types of aquatic biomes Saltwater (oceans) Freshwater (Ponds, lakes, streams, rivers)

Oceans Hold heat and help to stabilize the earths atmosphere. Much of photosynthesis is carried on in the oceans Have a large variety of temperatures and animals

Deep Sea Vent Creatures

Freshwater Biomes Ponds, lakes, streams, rivers. Temperature and animal life vary greatly Found all over the world

Wetlands! Standing water covers the ground- not connected to the ocean Many many plants- floating plants, Anphibians, leeches, snakes, birds

Environmental issues Provide flood protection so when destroyed floods are caused.
