Biomes of Europe A Home on Earth for Jesus Biomes • Biome — a very large area of the earth's surface that has a particular climate, soil and elevation Biomes Biomes • Tundra biome — this coldest biome is located in the arctic region with long, dark winters and short, cold summers; plants grow close to the ground and animals have thick fur or other adaptations to shield them from the cold, long winters Biomes • Coniferous forest/taiga (tee-ga) biome — very cold biome with long, cold winters and short, rainy and warm summers; plants include conifers or trees with cones and animals have thick fur to shield them from the cold, long winters. Biomes • High mountain/alpine biome — cold and windy biome with fewer trees; not many plants, climbing animals with thick fur, many birds, and millions of insects. Biomes • Woodland/shrubland biome — biome with short, wet winters and long dry summers; plants include short shrubs and herbs that are spread out and able to store water; also includes grazing animals and small mammals, reptiles and insects Biomes • Grassland biome — dry biome with cold, windy winter; low-growing plants grass and flowers (but not trees); large herds of grazing animals and many burrowing animals Biomes • Aquatic biome — part of the hydrosphere of Europe and includes swamps, marshes, bogs, fens, sloughs, rivers and lakes, seas and oceans; home to many water plants and animals Biomes • Deciduous forest biome — largest biome in Europe has four seasons each year; plants include deciduous trees that lose or shed their leaves in the fall season each year making the soil very fertile, perfect environment for many kinds of plants and trees Deciduous Forests
