Biomes

Terrestrial Biomes Tundra Avg. temp: -26 °C to 12°C Avg. precip: <25 cm Miscellaneous: Long, cold winters with short daylight hours Short growth period Lowest biodiversity

Terrestrial Biomes Tundra Plant life: Thin top soil Permafrost – frozen soil Small shrubs, grasses, lichens, mosses (shallow roots)

Terrestrial Biomes Tundra Animal life: Caribou, polar bears, mosquitoes, birds, wolves, pika, rabbits, arctic fox

Terrestrial Biomes Taiga Avg. temp: -10°C to 14°C Avg. precip: 35 to 75 cm Miscellaneous: Cool rainy summers and long, cold winters Contains largest trees in the world (redwoods and sequoias)

Terrestrial Biomes Taiga Plant life: Some permafrost Conifers and evergreens Freeze tolerant and drought resistant

Terrestrial Biomes Taiga Animal life: Moose, lynx, brown bear, wolf, elk, squirrels, birds

Terrestrial Biomes Temperate forest Avg. Temp: 6°C to 28°C Avg. Precip: 75 to 125 cm Miscellaneous: 4 true seasons 4-6 month growing seasons Average biodiversity Hibernating and migratory animals

Terrestrial Biomes Temperate Forest Plant life: deciduous trees (oak, maple) ferns flowering plants

Terrestrial Biomes Temperate Forest Animal life: Black bears, raccoons, squirrels, foxes, deer, wild pigs, many song birds

Terrestrial Biomes Rainforest Avg. Temp: 20°C to 34°C Avg. Precip: 200 to 400 cm Miscellaneous: Thin topsoil low in nutrients Hot year round Extremely moist and humid Highest biodiversity of terrestrial biomes

Terrestrial Biomes Rainforest Plant life: Animal life: Contains over 50% of plant species Lush plant life (trees, grasses, flowering plants) Animal life: Amphibians, reptiles, monkeys, apes, leopards, many bird species, many insects

Terrestrial Biomes Grassland Avg. Temp: 0°C to 25°C Avg. Precip: 25 to 75 cm Miscellaneous: Interior of continents Thick, nutrient rich topsoil ideal for agriculture

Terrestrial Biomes Grassland Plant life: Animal life: Grasses Large grazers (bison, deer, horses, antelope) Ground-dwelling birds (turkey, pheasant) Groundhogs, prairie dogs

Terrestrial Biomes Savanna Avg. Temp: 16°C to 34°C Avg. Precip: 75 to 150 cm Miscellaneous: Tropical grasslands Distinct dry and rainy seasons Plant life: Tall grasses, scattered trees Animal life: Large grazers (rhinos, elephants, impala, gazelles, water buffalo, zebras) Lions, hyenas, ostrich

Terrestrial Biomes Desert Avg. Temp: 7°C to 38°C Avg. Precip: <25 cm Miscellaneous: Covers 1/5 of earth Often located by mountain ranges that block moisture Moderately low biodiversity Extreme heat during day and cold during night

Terrestrial Biomes Desert Plant life: Animal life: Plants that conserve moisture such as succulents and cacti Animal life: Reptiles, rodents, birds, coyotes

Terrestrial Biomes Chaparral Located in the middle latitudes, about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Coastal areas that have Mediterranean climates Ex: Hollywood Letters Plants: Dominated by more broad-leafed evergreen shrubs than trees. Chamise, manzanita, scrub oak, olive trees. Animals: Quail, lizards, chipmunks, & mule deer
