Rainforest

Climate Region: Tropical Wet

Very hot and wet

Hydrologic cycle repeats often here

Rains more than 90 days a year

Earth's most complex land biome

Bougainvillea

Plant Adaptations

Sunlight is a major limiting factor

Little sun reaches the floor

Plants grow in layers (canopy receives most light)

Bangul Bamboo

Animal Adaptations

Live in different levels of canopy

Many animals are specialists and require special habitat components to survive

Camouflage is common

Page 5: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

Climate Region: Humid Continental• 4 distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter• mild summers and winters• Almost all are located by

an ocean• Much of the human population

lives in this biome

Forests

Plant Adaptations

Birchhttp://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/deciduous_plant_page.htm

Deciduous forests grow in layers

More sunlight reaches the ground compared to a rainforest so you will find more ground dwelling plants.

More diversity in the deciduous forest vs. the coniferous forest due to increased sunlight.

Trees adapt to varied climate by becoming dormant in winter

Page 7: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

Adapt to many seasons

Lose Winter Coat

Eat from different layers of the forest

Taigaaka Northern Coniferous Forest or Boreal Forest

Climate Region: Subarctic

dominated by cold, arctic air

half the year, the temperature is below freezing

only found in the northern hemisphere

Page 9: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

Balsam Fir

Low sunlight and poor soil keeps plants from growing on forest floor

Coniferous (needle-bearing) trees are abundant

Needles long, thin and waxy

Fireweed

Moose

Adapt for cold winters

Burrow, hibernate, warm coat, insulation, etc.

Savannas (Tropical

Grasslands) Contain the greatest

number of grazing animals on Earth.

Climate Region: Tropical Wet/Dry

Temperature doesn’t change much; 68◦-86◦

Dry winters and wet summers

Whistling Thorn

Umbrella Thorn Acacia

Plant Adaptations

Grow in Tufts

Resistant to Drought

Many plants have thorns and sharp leaves to protect against predation.

• Adapt for short rainy season—migrate as necessary

• Limited food leads to vertical feeding• Reproduce during rainy season—ensures

more young survive

Steppe

http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/steppe.htm

Climate Region: Semiarid

Less than 50 in/year precipitation

Very harsh place to live

Found in the middle of continents and in the lee of mountains

Page 15: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

most abundant are plants called Bunch grasses, fine bladed grasses that grow in clumps to preserve water

Page 16: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

Many migrate, hibernate or burrow during extremes in temperature and precipitation

Grasslands

Climate Region: Semiarid

• Many different types of grasslands; some tropical and some dry

• On every continent except Antarctica

• Very fertile soil

http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/steppe.htm

ChaparralClimate Region: Mediterranean

Hot, dry summers, mild, wet winters

Slight variations in seasonal temperatures…NICE!

Page 21: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

Plant Adaptations

Mostly low-lying shrubs and small trees.

Many plants have leathery leaves to resist water loss

Many plant species have oils in leaves to help them resist fire…the fire will take out “weaker” plants that don’t belong.

Animal Adaptations

Camouflage—to avoid predation

Many animals will change their diet as the season changes.

Temperature ranges from -20◦F in winter to 50◦F in summer

Permafrost layer

One of the most fragile biomes on

the planet

Page 27: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

Plant Adaptations Growing close to the ground

Having shallow roots to absorb the limited water resources.

Trees grow less than 1 m high!

Alpine

Climate Region: Highland

Dangerous amount of UV rays 12 in of precipitation a year Summer temperature ranges from

10◦F and 50 ◦F Night temperature almost always

below freezing

One of the coldest biomes on the

planet

Page 30: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

Plant Adaptations

No trees can grow

Vegetation includes tussock grasses, small-leafed shrubs, and heaths

Page 31: World Biomes. Rainforest Climate Region: Tropical Wet Very hot and wet Hydrologic cycle repeats often here Rains more than 90 days a year Earth's

• Must adapt to cold weather • Animals in the alpine biome include: mountain goats,

sheep, elk, beetles, grasshoppers and butterflies.
