Forests Grasslands Deserts Tundra a division of the world's vegetation that corresponds to a defined climate and is characterized by specific types of plants and animals Forests Grasslands Deserts Tundra AKA: Broadleaf Broadleaf trees that generally lose leaves in the fall Mid-latitude (temperate) climate zone AKA: Boreal, Taiga Trees with needle-shaped leaves, like pines, that generally stay green all year. Their seed are protected by cones. Upper mid-latitude climate zone, high elevation AKA: Jungle A canopy of trees of varying kinds in a wet, warm environment. Think “jungle.” Low latitude (tropical) climate zone AKA: Savanna Grass and scattered trees must survive long dry periods. Low latitude (tropical) climate zone AKA: Prairie Rainfall varies. Mid-latitude (temperate) climate zone They’re not about temperature… They’re about DRY (arid). Only specialized plants survive. Low and mid-latitude climate zones. Think cold year round…like deserts, only specialized plants survive. Upper mid latitude to high latitude (polar) climate zones Identify and explain the influence of climate on the distribution of biomes What kind of climates do we have in Texas? Think about precipitation, elevations, landforms Do we have seasons? How does climate influence the biomes of Texas? What biomes exist in Texas? Where are they located?
