Taiga comes from a Russian word for the marshy pine forest. Biome means the area dense with flora and fauna, which is why the Taiga forest is the world's largest land biome. Taiga has a cold climate and low precipitation (rain and snow) rate. It is believed that the Taiga forest existed 12,000 years ago.

They are among the world's leading purveyors of ecosystem services, including carbon storage and clean water, and they harbor globally significant wildlife populations.

A Rainforest is an area of tall trees and a high amount of rainfall.Rainforest are Earth's oldest living ecosystem´s,with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years.They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world´s animal and plant species- even  though they cover just 6 percent of the Earth's surface. Most Rainforests are structured  in four layers:Emergent (highest layer) Canopy (2nd highest layer) understory (3rd highest layer) forest floor (lowest layer.That's all about the Tropical Rainforest! where i got the information:

The food web of the taiga consists of producers and consumers organized across multiple trophic levels.The Taiga's primary consumers are insects, rodents, birds, and deer.The secondary consumers of the taiga consist of owls, eagles, wild boars, and foxes.A example for a food chain in the taiga is grass-grasshopper-frog-snake-eagle and also grass-deer-tiger.The taiga is among the world's leading suppliers of ecosystem services, including carbon storage and clean water, and they harbor globally significant wildlife populations.The tertiary consumers of the Taiga consist of Wolves and Lynx, who prey on boars, rodents, and deers.

Decomposers can eat animals decomposers are orgonisms that eat dead plants and animals.One decomposer that can swallow soil are earthworms they digest rotting plant and animals matter as they swallow soil.where the decomposers energy goes to is the cycle nutrients back into food chains.how decomposers get energy is eating dead plants and animals.you can also think about it like decomposers as us(humans)we need food for energy and so do they(the decomposers).decomposers can also drink water just like us without water these reactions cannot occur.decomposers do not dependent on sunlight to give them energy.decomposers live in the top layer of soil.decomposers change shape and color.decomposers release carbon dioxide.simple definiton: organisam that breaks down dead organic material,also sometimes referred to detritivores. three decomposers(fungi,bacteria,invertebrates such as worms and insects)the best decomposer is fungi it is the most efficient decomposer organisms.the most important decomposers are bacteria,fungi,protozoa,annelid worms and arthropods.and no plants cant be decomposers when they die they become food,for the decomposers, but bacteria and fungi are considered as plant decomposers.decomposers eat any kind of animal.

Deserts are places that don't get much rain, and are very dry. They can be either hot places or cold places. Because deserts don't have much water, animals that live in the desert are able to conserve water and keep their body temperature at the right level. In deserts, you'll usually see a lot of open soil and rocks and not much grass or other kinds of plants. Animals that live in the deserts include lizards, geckos, toads, jackrabbits, camels, snakes, spiders, and meerkats.  ||Sources:  https://www.theschoolrun.com/homework-help/desert-habitats||

What are desert habitats?
Deserts are places that don't get much rain, and are very dry. They can be either hot places, or cold places.
Because deserts don't have much water, animals that live in the desert are able to conserve water and keep their body temperature at the right level. Both plants and animals have adapted to be able to live in the desert.

Top 10 facts

1. Land is called 'desert' if it gets less than 250mm of rain every year.

2. One-third of the land on Earth is covered in deserts!

3. Deserts can be in hot or cold.

4. The largest hot desert in the world is the Sahara Desert in Africa - it is 9.4 million square kilometres.

5. One of the largest cold deserts in the world (the Arctic deserts are the largest) is the Gobi Desert in China, which is 1.3 million square kilometres.

6. Even though deserts don't get much rain, the desert is a habitat for some plants and animals. Each species has adapted to be able to live in a range of temperatures and without much water.

7. Temperatures in hot deserts can be up to 40-45°C, and it cools down a lot at nights when the sun sets. It can even get as cold as 0°C at some times during the year. In cold deserts the average lowest temperatures can be well below 0°C.

8. Desert landscapes can be found in South America, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the United States of America and Australia.

9. In deserts, you'll usually see a lot of open soil and rocks and not much grass or other kinds of plants.

10. Animals that live in deserts include lizards, geckos, toads, jackrabbits, camels, snakes, spiders and meerkats.

Did you know?

Deserts get less than 250mm of rain every year. We get around 1,000-2,000mm of rain in the UK, so 250mm really isn't very much at all!

If you put together all the deserts on the Earth, it makes up around 33% of the Earth's surface.

Depending on where on the Earth it is, a desert can be classed as hot or cold. Hot deserts can get very, very hot during the day and especially during the summer, while cold deserts can get extremely cold in the winter. Animals who live in each kind of desert have what they need to handle either very hot or very cold weather.

The largest hot desert in the world is the Sahara Desert in Africa, and the largest (non-Arctic) cold desert is the Gobi Desert in China. Both the word 'sahara' and 'gobi' mean desert in the local languages, so they both really have the same name - Desert Desert!

The driest desert is the Atacama Desert in Chile. It only gets 1mm of rain in an entire year!

The most common thing you think of deserts having is sand, but deserts sometimes have gravel, large rocks, salt and grass.

While beaches do have sand, it doesn't make them desert - they are coastal habitats.

Plants and animals that live in the desert have had to adapt to the conditions there. This means they either don't need much water to stay alive or can conserve water very well, and that they can handle very hot and/or very cold temperatures.

About

Desert temperatures can be very extreme - hot deserts can be as hot as 40-45°C, but then cool down as far as 0°C at night. This is because there's nothing on the dry land (like tall trees) that can protect it from heating up when the sun is shining, and cooling right down when the sun sets.

Rain and snow can fall on deserts, and when it does it's usually in a very heavy storm. It can rain so much all at once in a desert that it can cause a flood.

The terrain you'll find in both hot and cold deserts includes:

Plants that grow in deserts include:

barrel cactus

camel thorn tree

elephant tree

Joshua tree

sagebrush

organ pipe cactus

palm tree

prickly pear cactus

saguaro cactus

Desert habits are difficult to live in: as well as extremes in temperature and months without rain there can be sandstorms and even flash floods! Lots of the animals living in hot deserts are nocturnal: they hide underground during the day when it is very hot and emerge at night. Most of the animals who live in the desert are insects, scorpions, reptiles and spiders. Most of the mammals who live in the desert are very small, but large mamals like camels, gazelles and donkeys have adapted to deal with the very dry conditions and can survive for long periods of time without water.

Animals that live in deserts include:

Bactrian camel (has two humps, like a sideways 'B')

bat

black widow spider

bighorn sheep

bobcat

dromedary camel (has one hump, like a sideways 'D')

quail

fennec fox

gecko

gerbil

gila monster

iguana

jack rabbit

kangaroo rat

llama

rattlesnake

scorpion

tarantula

vulture

wolf spider

Words to know for desert habitats:

Arid - a way to describe the dry climate in places like deserts, where there isn't much access to water

Desert - an area that gets less than 250mm of rainfall every year

Dunes - large piles of sand that look like hills; this happens because of wind or water moving the sand around

Oasis - a spot in a desert where water and plants can be found (often around a natural spring)

Anderson Birkenmeyer-Taiga Location and Climate

# data[].attributes.body
Taigas are typically located in the far north,frequently between the temperate forest biome and the tundra. On the globe this is between 50 degrees latitude to the north and the arctic circle. The biggest taiga biome covers most of northern Russia and Siberia,other crucial taiga forests include North America (Canada and Alaska) and Scandinavia (Norway,Iceland,Finland). The average temperature during winter is 26.6 F degrees and during summer its average is 50 F degrees the taigas average temperature in general is 23-41 F degrees. The taiga climate is not as rough as the tundra climate and humid enough to promote appreciable vegetation growth but to cold for abundant tree growth,winters are extremely cold and long and summers are somewhat hot and short.

Consumers Of The          Deciduous Forest (1)

# data[].attributes.body
A deciduous forest is a type of forest dominated by trees that lose their foliage at the end of the growing season. This is in contrast to an evergreen forest where a majority of the trees remain "green" throughout the year. Even a deciduous forest composed mostly of trees that shed all their leaves each year this type of forest is found in three main regions: eastern north america,western Eurasia, and northeastern asia, These areas all have a temperate climate characterized by a winter season. the coldest temperatures in temerate deciduous forest range from about 37F to 64F. Deciduous trees in these forests drop their leaves in fall and regrow them in spring.The trees in temperate deciduous forest are angiosperms, meaning they have flowers and produce seeds.BYE HUGS AND LOVE<3

What do decomposers do? decomposers eat on dead or decaying animals or plants. Some decomposers in the desert are the Dung beetle: insect that feeds off animal feces. Fly: insect that feeds off decaying materials. Millipede: arthropods that feeds off decaying plant material. Saharan silver ants: fast ants who thrive in deserts and feed off things like animal carcasses. And rain in the desert can help break down waste material quickly. ||sources

One organism that is commonly seen in, and associated with, the desert ecosystem, is a cactus plant. Is a cactus a producer? Cactus plants are considered producers because they make their own food. There are several varieties of cacti that grow in the desert, including:

Prickly pear cactus

Barrel cactus

Saguaro cactus

Lace cactus

Organ pipe cactus

Grasslands are broadly open continuous fairly flat areas of grass. They are often located between temperate forests at high latitudes and deserts at subtropical latitudes. Natural grasslands are with herbaceous vegetation (maximum height is 150cm and grumineous species are prevailing) covering at least 50% shrub formations of scuttered tree and of minerals outcrops also occur. Often under nature conservation. Giraffes, African elephants, bison, black rhinos , and ostriches are all examples of the types of larger animals that inhabit grasslands. In general these animals are grazing animals, which means that they feed off plant matter, either on grasses or the sparse trees that can be found in grasslands.

THE TAIGA DECOMPOSERS

The taiga is a biome also known as the boreal forest. There are many primary decomposers like Fungi, the dominant organisms in the task of decomposition of litter in the taiga.The soil animals generally do not attack the forest litter directly but instead exert their influence by grazing on the fungi and bacteria.

The primary decomposer is fungi Also Bacteria, soil microarthropods, earthworms ect. also play roles as decomposers.Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms they carry out decomposition, a process possible by only certain kingdoms, such as fungi. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use  to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. While the terms decomposers are often interchangeably used, detritivores ingest and digest dead matter internally, while decomposers directly absorb nutrients.

The definition of a decomposer is an organism, especially a soil bacterium fungus or invertebrate that decomposes organic material.There are many different types of decomposers. They all work together and in different ways.

Grasses,shrubs,trees,mosses,lichens and cyanobackteria are some of the many producers found in a grassland ecosystem. when these plants die they provide energy for a host of insects,fungi and bacteria that live in and on the soil and feed on the plant debris producers are able to capture the sun's energy through photosynthesis  and absorb nutrients from the soil, storing them for future use by themselves and by
other organisms. producers in grasslands are green plants. The main producers in grasslands are grass and wildflowers. However, some grasslands also include small insects.

Consumers

There are 4 types of consumers and all 4 are omnivores,carnivores,herbivores,and decomposers.Herbivores are living thing that only eat plants to get food and energy they need.Animals  like whales,elephants,cows,pigs rabbits,and horse are herbivores.carnivores are living things that only eat meat such as harpy eagles,jaguars,and piranhas are some of the carnivores that live in the amazon rainforest.omnivores that live in the amazon rainforest are many monkeys,tree frogs,and birds are some of the omnivores that live in the rainforest.there are also decomposers in the rainforest such as termites,slugs,scorpion,worm,and fungi on the rainforest floor.orguin fall from trees and plants,and trees organisms break down the decaying material into cutrierts.the shallow roots of rainforest trees absorb these nutrients.and dozens of predators consume the decomposers!the top of the food chain is the carnivores.there is a lot of verity in the tropical rainforest.

The food chain in subtropical deserts. One example of a food chain happening in a subtropical desert is a cactus getting energy from the sun, a mouse then eats part of the cactus, which is a primary consumer, then the mouse gets eaten by a scorpion which is a secondary consumer and then lastly the scorpion is consumed by a rattle snake who is at the top of the pyramid and is a tertiary consumer.
