7th Grade A geographic area characterized by certain types of plant and animal communities. Name the 3 main types of forest biomes. Biome Temperate Decidious, Coniferous, Tropical Rain Out of the 3 main types of forest biomes, which one receives the least amount of precipitation? The type of forest that develops depends on what 2 things? A tree that produces seeds in a cone. Coniferous Forest Temperature and Rainfall (or precipitation) Why do decidious trees lose their leaves in the fall? Name 3 herbivores that live in the coniferous forest. The tropical rain forest has more _____________ _______________ than any other biome on the planet. To conserve water for winter Moose, Deer, Porcupines, Chipmunks Biological Diversity If you counted the birds in the canopy of a rain forest, you would find up to how many species of birds? Savannaʼs are inhabited by the most abundant, diverse group of large herbivores. Name 3 of them. In a desert, what happens to most of the water that falls to the ground? 1,400 Species Elephants, Giraffes, zebras, gazelles, widebeests Chapter 20 Section 1 Conifers It evaporates This biome has an average yearly This biome has an average yearly rainfall of 30-50 cm, average rainfall of 75-125 cm, summer temps temperatures include 53.6 F in summer average 82.4 F, winter temps average and -14 in winter. 42.8. Tundra Temperate Deciduous Forest This biome has an average yearly Why do Kangaroo Rats that live in the rainfall of 10-30 inches, summer temps desert, ever have to drink? average 86 F, and 32 F in Winter. Summer Temperature average is 100 F, 45 F for the winter. Average rainfall is less than 25 cm. Desert Why are there very few trees in temperate grasslands? Temperate Grasslands They recycle water from the foods they eat. Fires prevent the growth of most plants and trees What is the major feature of the arctic tundra? This word means, “to fall off” Why is water plentiful in the Arctic Tundra, even though they receive little precipitation. Permafrost Has scattered clumps of trees. Savanna Deciduous Permafrost doesnʼt allow water to soak into the soil, providing ponds and lakes and soggy ground Only biome to have a Wet and Dry Season. This biome has woody shrubs beneath the tree layer. Savanna Temperate Decidious Forest Most nutrients are in the vegitation in this biome. The preferred living site for most animals in the tropical rain forest. Most animals are active only at night in this biome. Tropical Rain Forest The Canopy Desert Coniferous Forests consist mainly of this type of tree. Praries, Steppes, and Pampas are all what type of biomes? Grasslands are found between __________ and ____________. Evergreen Trees Grasslands Forests and Deserts The major type of vegitation in a grassland biome. A savanna will receive approximately how much water during a Wet Season? What 2 things make the Savanna Unique? 1. Wet and Dry Season Grass 150 cm or 59 inches Non-living factors that can influence what lives in a biome. Thes terrestrial biomes are found in the far north or on top of mountains. This type of biome is found on every contiment. Abiotic Factors Tundras Grassland 2. Large Diverse Group of Herbivores
