The Biosphere: Terrestrial Biomes

The video explores various terrestrial biomes, including tundra, taiga, temperate deciduous forests, tropical rainforests, grasslands, and deserts. Each biome is characterized by its climate, vegetation, and wildlife. The tundra is cold and dry, with short plants and caribou. The taiga features evergreen trees and moose. Temperate deciduous forests have four seasons and trees that shed leaves. Tropical rainforests, near the equator, are rich in biodiversity. Grasslands, once home to bison, are dominated by grasses. Deserts receive minimal rainfall and have specialized plants and animals.
