Environmental Science Biome

Group of ecosystems with a similar climate and dominant plant and animal species

• conferous

• deciduous

• canopy

• nocturnal

• biome

trees with needle like leaves and cones. able to live in colder environments due to these adaptations

• conferous

• canopy

• deciduous

• arid

• humid

animal adaptation that allow animals to live in hot environments as they hunt and feed during the night.

• canopy

• permafrost

• humid

• nocturnal

• arid

water in the atmosphere allows the climate to be warm and moist

• arid

• biome

• coniferous

• humid

• permafrost

soil that remains frozen most of the year

• arid

• humd

• nocturnal

• canopy

• permafrost

trees that grow tall and block out most of the sunlight so there is little grass on the ground

• arid

• humid

• canopy

• coniferous

• biome

trees with broad leaves that drop their leaves in the fall to conserve water

• deciduous

• canopy

• coniferous

• humid

• biome

climate that is dry

Think Little House on the Prairie. Found in areas such as the mid US. Many acres of grasses but few large trees. Moderate climate and rainfall. Species include grasses, buffalo, and large grazing mammals

• desert

• northwest coniferous forest

• tundra

• temperate grassland

• tropical grassland

Think of hunting in Canada. Large coniferous trees such as spruce and fir. Home to moose, deer, lynx, and wolverine. Long cold winters and short cool summers. Soil is acidic but plenty of rainfall grows big trees here.

• tundra

• termperate deciduous forest

• tropical grassland

• taiga/boreal forest

• desert
