TERRESTRIAL BIOME PUZZLE TUNDRA Description Average Temperature Annual Precipitation Soil Keystone Species Human Impact TAIGA TEMPERATE DECIDUOUS FOREST TEMPERATE GRASSLAND CHAPARRAL Description Average Temperature Annual Precipitation Soil Keystone Species Human Impact DESERT TROPICAL SAVANNA TROPICAL RAIN FOREST 7oC to 38oC May be very cold or very hot Moist thin topsoil that is low in nutrients Artic fox – food source for a lot of animals 0oC to 25oC Has both cool and warm seasons 35-75 cm Adequate Rainfall to support trees Located near the equator; called jungles or tropics -10oC to 14oC Cool year round 4 seasons (spring, summer, winter, fall) Pine, spruce and fir trees – homes for plants & animals N/A Competition from nonnative species, overhunting, climate change, over-farming Deforestation, global warming Global warming, urbanization, pesticide use 20oC to 34oC Always warm and humid Thin, nutrient poor soil over frozen Permafrost Acid rain, deforestation, climate change warm to hot summers and cool to cold winters Moist with moderately thick topsoil, Rich in nutrients (humus) Kangaroo Rat – burrows serve as homes to other animals 10oC to 18oC Hot summer & cool winter 25 – 75 cm Wet season and dry season Elephant – eat small trees 16oC to 34oC Always warm Deforestation, climate change Global warming, melting of permafrost, oil spills Hummingbird pollination 6 month rainy season (monsoon) Rocky, thin topsoil, low in nutrients 6oC to 28oC Has both cool and warm seasons Strong, very cold winds with little precipitation, short & soggy summers 75-125 cm Adequate Rainfall to support trees -26oC to 12oC cold year round White-Tailed Deer – eat grass/other plants to control their populations Mild, rainy winters & hot, dry summers; Called plains; “western movies” <25 cm dry < 25cm Very dry year round Dry, often sandy soil, low in nutrients topsoil; porous; low in nutrients Coniferous forest with long winters but mild summers when ground thaws < 25cm dry summer & rainy winter Alternating wet and dry seasons with large number of herbivores & lots of migratory animals Global warming, wildfires, nuclear waste, off-road vehicles Agouti- only animal to eat brazil tree nuts 75-150cm wildfire Dry, thin layer of Low in nutrients and Acidic Low precipitation with extreme temperature changes ( hot in day & cold at night) Deep layer of nutrient rich topsoil; Good for farming 200-400cm Rains almost daily; long, wet season
