coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean but are home to almost 25% of all known marine species!
Corals are in fact animals, not plants.
Coral reefs are the largest structures on earth of biological origin.

A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals. Reefs are formed of colonies of coral polyps held together by calcium carbonate. They are most commonly found at shallow depths in tropical waters, but deep water and cold water coral reefs exist on smaller scales in other areas

Deserts may seem lifeless, but in fact many species have evolved special ways to survive in the harsh environments. Barren wastelands, deserts are biologically rich habitats with a vast array of animals and plants that have adapted to the harsh conditions there. Some deserts are among the planet's last remaining areas of total wilderness. Yet more than one billion people, one-sixth of the Earth's population, actually live in desert regions.

What is a desert?
Deserts cover more than one-fifth of the Earth's land area, and they are found on every continent. A place that receives less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain per year is considered a desert. Deserts are part of a wider class of regions called drylands. These areas exist under a “moisture deficit,” which means they can frequently lose more moisture through evaporation than they receive from annual precipitation.

DESERTS 101
Despite the common conceptions of deserts as hot, there are cold deserts as well. The largest hot desert in the world, northern Africa's Sahara, reaches temperatures of up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) during the day. But some deserts are always cold, like the Gobi desert in Asia and the polar deserts of the Antarctic and Arctic, which are the world's largest. Others are mountainous. Only about 20 percent of deserts are covered by sand.

The driest deserts, such as Chile's Atacama Desert, have parts that receive less than .08 inches (2 mm) of precipitation a year. Such environments are so harsh and otherworldly that scientists have even studied them for clues about life on Mars. On the other hand, every few years, an unusually rainy period can produce "super blooms," where even the Atacama becomes blanketed in wildflowers.

Desert animals and plants
Desert animals have evolved ways to help them keep cool and use less water. Camels can go for weeks without water, and their nostrils and eyelashes can form a barrier against sand. Many desert animals, such as the fennec fox, are nocturnal, coming out to hunt only when the brutal sun has descended. Some animals, like the desert tortoise in the southwestern United States, spend much of their time underground. Most desert birds are nomadic, crisscrossing the skies in search of food. And among insects, the Namibian desert beetle can harvest fog from the air for water. Because of their very special adaptations, desert animals are extremely vulnerable to changes in their habitat.

Desert plants may have to go without fresh water for years at a time. Some plants have adapted to the arid climate by growing long roots that tap water from deep underground. Other plants, such as cacti, have special means of storing and conserving water.

Deserts, land use, and climate change
Some of the world's semi-arid regions are turning into desert at an alarming rate. This process, known as desertification, is not caused by drought, but usually arises from deforestation and the demands of human populations that settle on the semi-arid lands. The pounding of the soil by the hooves of livestock in ranching, for example, may degrade the soil and encourage erosion by wind and water. In northern China, growing urbanization, which left much of the land unprotected against wind erosion and the buildup of sediment from the surrounding desert, created a desertification problem, prompting the government to build a "great green wall" as a hedge against encroaching desert.

SPELLBINDING TIME-LAPSES OF AN AFRICAN DESERT
The stark, untouched beauty of Namibia’s diverse landscapes dazzles in this incredible time-lapse from filmmaker Matthew Hood.
In existing deserts, some species are in peril because of climate change. Global warming threatens to change the ecology of deserts: Higher temperatures may produce more wildfires that alter desert landscapes by eliminating slow-growing trees and shrubs and replacing them with fast-growing grasses.

Many desert plants can live for hundreds of years. But in California, the iconic Joshua tree—the oldest found was 1,000 years old—may not survive a hotter climate, scientists warn. If they don't survive, that could affect species such as the yucca moth, which lays its eggs inside the Joshua tree flower.

Desert bird species could also be in danger from climate change, as heat waves lead to lethal dehydration.

Paradoxically, the effort to reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions by expanding solar energy has also created some tensions for desert habitats. In the Mojave, the 2013 arrival of the Ivanpah solar thermal plant created concerns about how the facility would affect threatened desert tortoises, and conservationists are working to ensure solar energy projects like these can coexist with wildlife.

Other land use changes also threaten to degrade desert habitats. The downsizing of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument poses a threat to some of the 660 bee species that live in the area, while the prospect of a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico could disconnect a third of 346 native wildlife species from 50 percent or more of their range that lies south of the border, including the desert bighorn sheep.

Temperate forests are those found in the moderate climates between the tropics and boreal regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. They may also be called "four-season forests" because the midlatitude climates harboring them tend to experience four distinct seasons. A vast diversity of different forest types make up this broad category, from the broadly distributed temperate deciduous forests to pine woods and relatively geographically restricted temperate rainforests.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

Temperate forest often refers specifically to the temperate deciduous forests widespread in eastern North America and Eurasia, but other temperate-forest types exist in the planet's middle latitudes where moderate, frequently four-season climates encourage diverse tree growth.

Temperate forests range across large areas of North America and Eurasia as well as smaller portions of the Southern Hemisphere. Temperate deciduous forests, the "signature" temperate forest type, reach their greatest extent in the eastern United States and Canada, Europe, China, Japan and western Russia. Climatically speaking, temperate forests tend to experience fairly long growing seasons and decent amounts of rainfall that may be spread fairly evenly across the year or concentrated in a particular season; deciduous hardwoods, which lose their leaves in winter, dominate most major temperate forests. Drier temperate climates in, for example, western North America may see evergreen pines and other drought-tolerant conifers proliferate. Temperate rainforests, two-thirds of which lie in North America's Pacific Northwest, experience milder, moister, often maritime-influenced climates than other temperate forests; those of the Pacific Northwest are unique in the dominance of conifers over hardwoods.

During the winter, a temperate deciduous forest looks dead because leaves have fallen off most of the trees. Wildlife in these forests may endure the winter or migrate to warmer climates. Spring sees a rebirth of sorts with hardwoods leafing out and a proliferation of flowering shrubs and forbs. As days begin shortening and temperatures dropping in fall, the leaves of deciduous trees change color and begin dropping, while animals begin storing food for the winter and/or packing on body fat for winter survival or the energetic demands of migration.

The soils of many temperate forests are fertile and support a rich diversity of trees. Temperate deciduous forests often feature varieties such as maples, oaks, elms and birches. Conifers such as pines and hemlocks may play a minority role in these hardwood-dominated communities, but, again, these needle-leaved trees may also form the majority in certain temperate ecosystems, such as the North American temperate rainforest and the pine forests of the southeastern U.S. A sub-variety of temperate forest found in so-called Mediterranean climates commonly features evergreen broadleaf trees, such as "live oaks" in California and parts of Southern Europe and eucalpts in Australia. Mosses, ferns and understory shrubs are common in many temperate forests.

With their moderate climate and typically rich array of food resources, temperate forests tend to support a great diversity of wildlife. Koalas, possums, wombats and other marsupials roam Australian temperate forests, while in North American and Eurasian ecosystems deer, bears, foxes, wolves, squirrels and rabbits are common inhabitants. China's temperate forests play host to giant and red pandas, which mostly eat bamboo. Many migratory songbirds nest in temperate forests, taking advantage of their spring and summer bounty of blossoms, berries, seeds and insects.

What Animals live in the Rainforest
Rainforests are populated with insects (like butterflies and beetles), arachnids (like spiders and ticks), worms, reptiles (like snakes and lizards), amphibians (like frogs and toads), birds (like parrots and toucans) and mammals (like sloths and jaguars).

what plants live in Rainforest
Rainforest contains more species of plants than any other biome. Orchids, Philodendrons, Ferns, Bromeliads, Kapok Trees, Banana Trees, Rubber Trees, Bam- boo, Trees, Cassava Trees, Avocado Trees.
Describe physical conditions
The tropical rainforest biome has four main characteristics: very high annual rainfall, high average temperatures, nutrient-poor soil, and high levels of biodiversity (species richness). Tropical rainforests also have high humidity; about 88% during the wet season and approximately 77% in the dry season.
