FOREST BIOMES 7 TH GRADE SCIENCE Mrs. Weber. There are three different forest biomes, today we will discuss all three  Coniferous Forests  Deciduous.

Assignment: Forest Biomes Bubble Map By yourself, create a bubble map for all four types of forest biomes (coloring is optional) - Due Tomorrow! Extra Credit to those that are nice enough for me to keep! Each forest must have: Center title Conditions section: Climate Threats Animals: Examples & adaptations Plants: Illustrations throughout Day 2

Forest Biomes 1. Taiga = northern coniferous forest Long winters (6-10 months); average temp. below freezing Plant growth occurs in summer - constant daylight & high precipitation (~10cm/month) Plants: conifers shape of leaves & waxy coating prevent H2O loss Cone shape prevents snow build up Pine needles makes oil acidic Animals: summer birds; mice; hares, lynx, foxes, wolves Day 2

Forest Biomes 2. Tropical Rain Forest Near equator (South America, Africa, SE Asia, Australia) High precipitation & moderate temps year round Helps regulate world climate by sucking up CO2 Day 2

Forest Biomes Tropical Rain Forest continued Layers : Plants: buttress root trees, orchids, epiphytes, etc. Animals: parrots, monkeys, snakes, tons of insects Soil is nutrient poor b/c decomposition happens so fast & all the plants suck up nutrients Layers : Day 2

Forest Biomes Tropical Rain Forest continued Provides food & medicines Biodiversity fact: tropical rainforest covers <7% of Earth’s surface, but contains 50% of all plant & animal species Day 2

Forest Biomes Tropical Rain Forest continued Threats: logging, agriculture, & oil exploration Plants & animals face habitat loss & poaching Day 2

Forest Biomes 3. Temperate Deciduous Forest Eastern US, Europe & Asia Abundant rainfall, moderate temp. Trees: maple, oak, birch Plant adaptation: trees lose leaves each fall Animals: deer, squirrel, bears, insects, birds Some hibernate Threats: development, logging Day 2

Forest Biomes 4. Temperate Rain Forest Trees: spruce, fir, redwood Pacific Northwest US, Australia (coastal areas) High precipitation & moderate temps year round Trees: spruce, fir, redwood Animals: flying squirrel, bears, insects, cougars, birds – northern spotted owl Threats: development Day 2
