Latitudes 50°N to 70°N
Precipitation Very Low cm annually
Locations where it can be found
Russia, Scandinavian countries, Canada
Characterized by a coniferous forest (pine, spruce, fir trees)

2. Savanna Temperatures Winter 68°F - 77°F Summer 77°F - 86°F
Latitude 15°S - 25°S
Precipitation  Has a wet summer and a dry winter
Locations where it can be found:

Latitude75°N to 90°N
Precipitation cm annually
Locations where it can be found:
Northern Russia and Canada
Characterized by dwarf shrubs and grasses because the permafrost of the soil does not allow for large root systems
Most animals are marine and live on the shores, like seals and penguins, and some smaller animals like cats and rabbits on the interior

4. Tropical RainForest Tropical rainforest have the highest biodiversity
Plants include large trees and flower bearing vines and parasitic plants
Animals include the largest varieties of bugs, brightly colored reptiles, birds and amphibians
Not many living organisms on the forest floor because the canopy does not allow much sunlight, and large amount of species live in the trees and upper canopy
Temperatures: Winter 68°F - 77°F Summer 77°F - 86°F
Latitude 28° North or South of the Equator
Precipitation 168 to 1000 cm annually
Location where you can find it:
Amazon, Central Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia and Hawaii

5. Temperate Grasslands
Temperature: Summer 60°F to70°F Winter 20°F to 50°F
Latitude55°N to 30°N or 55°S to 30°S
Precipitation cm
Locations where it can be found:
Kansas, Chile, Western China
Exactly as you imagine, the long grasses with short root systems, woody short shrubs and bushes, very few if any trees
Animals include many primary consumers like prairie dogs, larger deer like consumers, and many varieties of birds.

6. Temperate Deciduous Forest
Temperatures: Summer70°F to 86°F Winter-22°F to 40°F
Latitude 25°N to 50°N or 25°S to 50°S
Precipitation75 to 150 cm
Locations where it can be found:
Eastern China, East Coast of United States, and Central Europe (Germany and France)
Many migratory birds and animals, larger mammals like bears, elks, deer, and secondary consumers like medium cats and wolves
Typical trees are oak, elm, and maple, and a flowering season in the spring, many bushes and shrubbery

7. Desert (Dry and Tropical)
Temperatures: 72°F to 104°F
Latitude23.5°N to 23.5 °S
Precipitation less than 25 cm
Locations where you can find it:
Sahara, Gobi, and Arabian Desert
Non-Leafy plants (cacti) and plants that will bloom quickly in the short rains they have
Typically reptiles and other birds and bugs that seek shelter underground or in burrowed holes

8. Chaparral Temperatures: Winter 41°F to 50°F Summer 68°F to 104°F
Latitude30°N to 50°N
Precipitation25 to 45 cm of rain (most in the winter
Location where you can find it:
Mediterranean Sea Coast and California
Very similar to a deciduous forest, with many trees and shrubs, but on a shorter scale and more sparse than a typical forested area
Same with the animals, like coyotes, horned toads, and larger jack rabbits
