1 Which Biome Would I Like to Live In?
Grassland Taiga Tundra Deciduous Forest Rain forest Desert

2 I live in Georgia which is in a Temperate Deciduous Forest.

3 A Temperate Deciduous Forest has four seasons.
Summer Spring Winter Autumn

4 A Temperate Deciduous Forest also has an annual precipitation range of about 75 cm to 150 cm per year. The temperature ranges from below freezing in the winter to over 30°C in the summer.

5 If I did not live in Georgia, which biome would I live in?
Rainforest Tundra Taiga Desert Deciduous Forest

6 I would live in the taiga biome.
The taiga is also known as a Coniferous Forest because most of the trees are evergreen cone-bearing trees.

7 The taiga is located south of the tundra between the 50° N and 60° N latitude lines.
It stretches across Canada, Northern Europe, and Asia. It is the world’s largest biome.

8 The taiga has long cold winters like the tundra
The taiga has long cold winters like the tundra. The summers are warm, rainy, and humid. The annual precipitation range is 35 cm to 85 cm. This is mostly in the form of snow.

9 The average temperature is below freezing for six months out of the year. The winter temperature range is -54 to -1° C (-65 to 30° F). Temperature range in the summer gets as low as -7° C (20° F). The high in summer can be 21° C (70° F).

10 Moose, lynx, bear, geese, and fox are some of the animals that live in the taiga.

11 Coldness and food shortages make things very difficult, mostly in the winter. Some of the animals in the taiga hibernate in the winter, some fly south if they can, while some just cooperate with the environment, which is very difficult.

12 I would like to live in the taiga biome because I like the snow in the winter and the cool summers. I do not like to be hot like in the desert. I also do not like a lot of rain like the rain forest.

13 Which biome would you like to live in?
Taiga Tundra Grassland Deciduous Forest Rain forest Desert
