• organisms
• biosphere
• on the earth
• in the earth
• biome

The biosphere is very large, so ecologists break it up into smaller smaller groups called a ___

1. Coniferous forest: (boreal forest or taiga) . 

(*Most animals hibernate or migrate during winter.)

• high temperatures and low amounts of rainfall

• 1. Earth’s largest land biome

• 1. Very little growth on forest floors.

1. Deciduous Forest:

• Good for grazing animals and farming

• 1. made up of trees that lose their leaves at the end of a growing season (in autumn usually).

• about 70% of the Earth’s surface.

• A greater variety of plants are found in these biomes.

1. Tundra:

• 1. mild temperatures and high rainfall means it has a lot of plant growth.

• found in the far north

• 1. Standing water = lakes/ponds and swamps/bogs

  2. Moving water = rivers and streams.

•  It is so cold here that a portion of the earth remains frozen all year long (permafrost)
