Biomes Biome: an area that can be identified by its dominant plant (flora) and animal species (fauna)

Climax community: Plant and animal species that represent a stable state in a biome—after succession

Is it the biotic or abiotic factors that influence biomes?

Key terms associated with biomes Climate: the temperature range, annual average precipitation, humidity, and sunshine in a region

☻Tundra ☻

Tundra

Tundra Low amount of precipitation Constant permafrost layer (ice) Caribou, polar bears, birds, insects, fish, wolves Some short grasses and shrubs, lichen, moss

☻ Desert ☻

☻ Desert ☻

Desert The LEAST amount of precipitation Lizards, snakes, rabbits, kangaroo rats—least amount of living organisms Cacti, small shrubs, sagebrush Varying temperatures

☻Boreal Forest (Taiga or Coniferous Forest) ☻

☻Boreal Forest (Taiga or Coniferous Forest) ☻

Boreal (Coniferous) Coniferous trees—pine, spruce, fir, hemlock (have needles) Cooler temperatures, long winters, shorter summers Many lakes and bogs Birds, moose, beaver, deer, mountain lion

Temperate Forest (Deciduous Forest)

☻Temperate Forest (Deciduous Forest)☻

Trees lose their leaves—oak, maple, beech Squirrels, rabbit, skunk, deer, black bears Seasonal changes

☻ Tropical Rainforest ☻

Tropical Rainforest

Rainforest Greatest animal diversity—colorful birds, chimpanzees, tigers, bats, snakes Lots of precipitation but little reaches the ground Hot and humid Colorful plants and vegetation

☻ Temperate Grassland ☻

Temperate Grassland

Grassland Hot summers, cold winters Fertile soil used for farming, very few trees Gazelle, buffalo, horses, cattle, prairie dogs, antelope Grasses and herbs
