Types of Ecosystems

Review

Abiotic + Biotic = Ecosystem

Producers = plants (make their own food)

Consumers = organisms that eat producers

Decomposers = Organisms that break down all other organisms

Herbivore = plant eaters

Carnivores = meat eaters

Omnivores = eat meat and plants

Page 4: Types of Ecosystems. Review Abiotic + Biotic = Ecosystem Producers = plants (make their own food) Consumers = organisms that eat producers Decomposers

Tundra

*North America, Europe and Siberia

*Long, cold winters (ground is frozen)

*Short growing season- 60 days

*Lichens, mosses, grasses, reindeer, musk oxen, caribou wolves, lemmings, snowy owls etc.

**Alaska & high mountain elevations in the West

Page 5: Types of Ecosystems. Review Abiotic + Biotic = Ecosystem Producers = plants (make their own food) Consumers = organisms that eat producers Decomposers

Taiga

Stunted trees (evergreen forest)

North America, Europe and Asia

Cold winters (not as cold as the tundra)

120 growing days

Pines, firs, spruce, willows, birches, moose, wolves, bearsdeer, elk, rodents etc.

**NE US, and Alaska

Page 6: Types of Ecosystems. Review Abiotic + Biotic = Ecosystem Producers = plants (make their own food) Consumers = organisms that eat producers Decomposers

Temperate Forest

Summers are hot and humid, winters are cold

75-150cm of rainfall each year

Oaks, maple, hickory, beech, chestnut, ferns, mosses,wolves, gray foxes, bobcat, deer, raccoons etc.

Eastern North America and Europe**Central and Midwestern states

Page 7: Types of Ecosystems. Review Abiotic + Biotic = Ecosystem Producers = plants (make their own food) Consumers = organisms that eat producers Decomposers

Tropical Rainforest

200-400cm of rainfall each year

25degrees Celsius year round

North America, South America, Asia

Flying squirrels, ants, termites, bees, monkeys, vines

**Hawaiian Islands

Grasslands/Prairies

Asia, North America, South America and Africa

25-75 cm of rainfall a year

Grasses, wildflowers, coyotes, badgers, rattlesnakes, lions, various birds, zebras, giraffes etc.

**Midwestern and Western States

Page 9: Types of Ecosystems. Review Abiotic + Biotic = Ecosystem Producers = plants (make their own food) Consumers = organisms that eat producers Decomposers

DesertsLess than 25cm of rainfall a year

North America (Mexico to Washington), Africa, SouthAmerica, Asia and Australia

Very hot during the day, extremely cold at night

Cacti, yucca, mesquite, sagebrush, lizards, snakes, spiders,insects, etc.

**SW US

Wetlands

Located near water sources

All over the world

Frogs, newts, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, grasses, cattails,ducks etc.

Aquatic

Temperatures are typically constant through out the year

All water environment

75% of the world is an aquatic biome

Fish, birds, whales, sharks, dolphins, cattails, algae, kelp, coral etc.

Fresh water or marine (salt water)
