Biome Presentations Review
Wettest
land biome
always warm
Animals
Migrating or
hibernating birds and
mammals
Many mammals, birds,
insects, etc.
May migrate,
hibernate, and/or have
thick colore-changing
fur
Many mammals, birds,
reptiles, amphibians,
insects, etc.
Rich and fertile
soil-good for
plant growth
Deciduous trees-trees that
lose leaves in the autumn
(maples, oaks, ashes, etc.)
poor, thin soil
May migrate,
hibernate, and/or have
fur or colors that
change with the
seasons
many plants with
many animals, mostly
adaptations like drip tips on at the canopy level
leaves to prevent rotting
and others adapt to grow
wide varieties of
on trees in order to get
amphibians, reptiles,
sunlight (epiphytes)
birds, and mammals

biome
Desert
Driest-very
little rain
ever falls
Warm to hot,
but typically
has a cold
season
Fertile soilmain reason
why heavy
agriculture
2nd hottest
biome
Hot during the Sandy and
day and cool at poor
night
Over 7000 species of
grasses but very few, if
any, trees
Adaptation - taproot
Many mammals, birds,
insects, etc.
Not many-mostly succulents
(such as cacti) and scrubby
plants (such as sage brush)
Not many-due to harsh
conditions, most have
adapted to be
nocturnal
Adaptation – some deep
taproots and others spread
roots at soil’s surface; many
have a waxy coating to
prevent water loss and the
ability to store water in their
stem or roots
Hottest land
biome
Low salt
Freshwater content
Varies by
season and
whether the
water is
standing
(lakes) or
flowing (rivers)
Content of body
Algae, some grasses that
of water can vary- are tolerant of wet
some eventually
conditions
can turn into
fertile land due to
ecological
succession
High salt
content
The further from
the surface, the
colder it gets until
