Select the Temperate Deciduous forest biome on the map:
Select the tundra biome on the map
Receives less than 10 in. of rain per year. Plants in this biome have many adaptations to prevent water loss, & animals tend to be nocturnal.
desert
Alternating wet & dry seasons with animals & plants adapted to drought (a.k.a. tropical or subtropical grasslands). Elephants, zebras, & lions are found here.
savanna
Located along the equator, this biome has the highest species biodiversity of all the biomes. Exotic plants & animals are found here.
tropical rainforest
Found near large bodies of water. The climate is nice here year round. Plants are resistant to fire & others actually promote fire!
chaparral
Found north & south of the tropical rainforests. They get less rain than a tropical rainforest but more than a savanna. Deciduous trees are found here.
tropical dry forest

What is the 10% rule in ecology?
10% of organisms in an ecosystem are herbivores.
10% of the population is responsible for 90% of the ecosystem's productivity.
Only 10% of species survive in a new habitat.
Only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
