Chapter 2 Ecosystems, Communities, and Biomes
2
biome – a large group of similar ecosystems
3
climate – the normal pattern of weather that occurs in an area over a long period of time
4
community – a group of living things of different species found in an ecosystem
5
desert – a very dry biome
6
ecosystem – all the living and nonliving things that interact in a given area
7
food chain – a description of how energy in an ecosystem flows from one organism to another
consumers producer decomposer
8
food web – a description of all the food chains in an ecosystem
9
grasslands – land covered by grasses with few trees
10
population – all the members of the same type of organism living in an ecosystem
11
taiga – biome that has long, severe winters and short, cool summers
12
temperate forest – a forest that experiences four distinct seasons: summer, fall, winter and spring
Shown in green below
13
tropical rain forest – a forest in a region that is very hot and very rainy
14
tundra – Earth’s coldest biome
