Deciduous woodlands

3.6 Deciduous woodlands show a range of distinguishing features What do I need to I know ? A. Biotic and abiotic characteristics of the deciduous woodland ecosystem (climate, soil, water, plants, animals and humans). B. The interdependence of biotic and abiotic characteristics (climate, soil, water, plants, animals and humans and the nutrient cycle (Gersmehl model). C. Why deciduous woodlands have moderate biodiversity and how plants (leaf size and structure, water conservation in winter) and animals (migration, hibernation and food storage) are adapted to that environment.

temperate deciduous forests: location and coverage Describe the global distribution of temperate deciduous woodlands. Describe the change in amount of UK woodland over time.

Distribution of Biomes: Revision Describe how the distribution of biomes changes as latitude increases (as you go away from the equator).

Distribution of Biomes: Revision Describe how the distribution of biomes changes as latitude increases (as you go away from the equator).

Distribution of Biomes: Revision TASK: Practice your map skills by completing your own map to show the distribution of the biomes.

Today, our remaining forests are used mostly for tourism. In the UK Wood from the trees was also used to build the British Navy that helped defend us from invasion from Napoleon and the Spanish Armada. Today, our remaining forests are used mostly for tourism. Wood from the trees helped make and fuel the factories that drove our industrial revolution

Be ready to share your answers with the class Draw a table to show the goods and services that you think the deciduous forest provides Be ready to share your answers with the class Goods are products that are provided by biomes (they can be touched) Services are jobs that are done by biomes (cannot be touched)

How does the nutrient cycle model need to be adapted for the deciduous biome?

Why do woodlands have moderate biodiversity compared to the rainforest? The rainforest has optimum growth conditions unlike the deciduous biome. What does this mean?
