1. Biomes

3. Tundra Abiotic: gets really cold, little rain, ground is permafrost. Vegetation - few trees, mainly grasses, bushes, and lichens Animals - arctic hare, lemming, arctic fox, snowy owl, caribou (reindeer)

6. Taiga Abiotic- gets really cold and warm, soil thaws in summer Vegetation - pine trees, ferns, mosses, mushrooms Animals- snowshoe hare, timber wolf, moose, weasel, black bear

9. Temperate Deciduous Forests Abiotic – gets cold and hot, plenty of rain Vegetation- maple, pine, and oak trees, flowering plants, moss Animals- white-tailed deer, cottontail rabbit, squirrel, raccoon, wolves, songbirds

12. Grasslands Abiotic- gets cool and hot, medium amount of rain Vegetation- grasses, small plants, mosses, lichens Animals- bison, antelope, zebra, elephant, wildebeest, horses, lions, leopards

15. Deserts Abiotic- gets hot (some cool), little rain Vegetation- brush, cacti, small plants Animals- camels, antelope, rabbits, reptiles, arachnids

18. Tropical Rainforests Abiotic- gets hot (lots of shade), tons of rain Vegetation- broad-leafed evergreen trees, ferns animals — monkey,flying squirrel, birds/parrots, jaguar.

20. Aquatic Biomes Open Ocean Estuary (were rivers meet the sea) Rock Intertidal

21. Succession Succession- changing of plant communities Primary succession- begins with bare rock from volcanic activity ex. Rock- moss – grass- shrubs –forest

22. Secondary succession- begins with soil from a previous community ex. Fire -Soil- grass- shrubs-forest Pioneer community- first community (ex: moss,grass) Climax community- ending community (ex: forest) Secondary Succession
