1. Sunshine (solar energy) 2. Rainfall 3. Temperature 4. Soil

 What is climate? weather conditions over a long period of time  What is a climate graph? show average monthly precipitation and temperature for one year  How does climate affect biomes? climate affects where living things survive  Two important features of climate are: -temperature -precipitation

 What are adaptations? features that help an organism survive in its particular environment  Describe some adaptations living things make? plants become dormant in winter animals change color coniferous trees need less water some animals hibernate

 increase in population  traveling brings new species to areas  pollution, air and water  harvesting plants  hunting animals

 The tundra biome receives very little solar energy. Although the summer days are long the winter days are very short. The growing season is only two months long.  The tundra is also known as a ‘cold desert’. It receives only about 12 cm of precipitation in a year and it is mostly in the form of snow. It is very cold in the tundra with temperatures in winter averaging -24°C, and in the summer averaging only 1°C.  Because of the cold temperature the soil is frozen permanently at depths below 60 cm. It is soft and spongy near the surface.

 The desert biome receives a great deal of solar energy. While rainfall is very low, averaging slightly more than 1 cm per month, many months may pass with no rainfall at all.  Deserts temperatures may average 10°C in the winter and summer averages climbs as high as 30°C.  The soil is very poor, both in organic matter and in water holding ability.

 The grassland biome can occur in different parts of the world and at varying latitudes so the amount of solar energy received can vary, depending upon the specific location.  The amount of rainfall is generally about 5 cm each month. The growing season is dependent upon the amount of rainfall rather than upon the temperatures, as in other biomes.  Winter temperatures can be cool, averaging -2°C, while summer temperatures average 20°C.  The soil has a lot of organic matter and has a moderate ability to hold water.

 The rain forest biome receives much solar energy, although the tropical rain forest receives more than the non-tropical rain forest.  Rainfall is very heavy, averaging at least 20 cm each month.  The biome is located on or near the equator, so the temperature remains about the same throughout the year. The soil is generally poor in organic matter and does not hold water very well.

 The Coniferous forest biome receives some sunlight every day. It has a growing season that lasts for three to six months. Monthly rainfall averages 7 cm and it receives more snow than any other biome.  The winter temperatures are quite cold, averaging only -6°C but the summer temperature averages 12°C.  The coniferous needles help the soil to hold water well but the soil is generally low in organic matter.

 The deciduous forest biome has a growing season of at least five months as it receives even more sunlight than the coniferous forest biome.  It averages 9 cm of rainfall each month.  Temperatures average slightly above freezing in the winter months and average 24°C in the summer.  Because the climax plants in this biome lose their leaves each fall, the soil is rich in organic matter and holds water well.
