3.Rainforest Climate. In an average year in a tropical rain forest, the climate is very humid because of all the rainfall, which amounts to about 250 cm per year. The rain forest has lots of rain because it is very hot and wet. This climate is found near the equator.
4.A tropical rainforest consists mainly of moss and other lush plantation, rocks, trees, healthy soil, and grasses.  The actual land of a rainforest is usually quite rocky, as it isn't uncommon for a rainforest to cover hills and small mountains.  Even though there is a lack of light that reaches the forest floor, countless species of plants, animals, and insects continue to thrive in this biome.

3.The temperate deciduous forest is a biome that is always changing. It has four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. Winters are cold and summers are warm. Temperate deciduous forests get between 30 and 60 inches of precipitation a year.
4.Temperate deciduous forests have a great variety of plant species. Most have three levels of plants. Lichen, moss, ferns, wildflowers and other small plants can be found on the forest floor. Shrubs fill in the middle level and hardwood trees like maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech make up the third level.

3.The lowest reliably recorded temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were recorded in the taiga of northeastern Russia. The taiga or boreal forest has a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons, but the long and cold winter is the dominant feature.
4.The vegetation in the taiga is mainly coniferous trees such as spruce, pine and larch species. This is because these trees can withstand low temperatures and low precipitation. There is also a few deciduous shrubs and grasses as well as lichen. Only plants that can survive without huge amounts of sunlight can survive in the taiga. This means that animals will have to adapt to be able to eat coniferous needles like the moose or hibernate or stock food for the winter. ]]> 2018-02-07 17:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/309620/14pg9b268gpc/wish/229204782 Grassland Ecosystem 309620 https://padlet.com/309620/14pg9b268gpc/wish/229667713 1.bison,pronghorn,coyotes,badgers,grouses, quails, hawks,PRAIRIE DOG,GRAY WOLF,SWIFT FOXES,
2.Bluestem Grass,Yucca,Common Sunflower,Big Sagebrush,Prickly Poppy,purple needlegrass,wild oats,Queen Anne’s Lace,

3.Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. They typically have between 10 and 35 inches of precipitation a year, much of it occurring in the late spring and early summer.
4.There are two different kinds of grasslands: tropical and temperate. Grasslands in the southern hemisphere tend to get more precipitation than those in the northern hemisphere. Some grasses grow more than 7 feet (2 meters), and have roots extending several feet into the soil.

2.toyon, sugarbush, yucca, coffeeberry, California buckwheat, scrub oak, mountain mahogany, chamise,manzanita,Heteromeles
3.The climate of the chaparral biome is very hot and dry. Winters there tend to be very mild, with temperatures of about 50 °F. The winter climate is also known as the Mediterranean climate, which while not very rainy, is typically mild and moist.
4.
In its natural state, chaparral is characterized by infrequent fires, with intervals ranging between 10–15 years and over a hundred years. Mature chaparral (stands that have survived for greater intervals between fires) is characterized by nearly impenetrable, dense thickets (except the more open chaparral of the desert). These plants are highly flammable during the late summer and autumn months when conditions are characteristically hot and dry. They grow as woody shrubs with thick, leathery, and often small leaves, contain green leaves all year (are evergreen), and are typically drought resistant (with some exceptions[2]). After the first rains following a fire, the landscape is dominated by small flowering herbaceous plants, known as fire followers, which die back with the summer dry period]]> 2018-02-08 16:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/309620/14pg9b268gpc/wish/229678076 Desert Ecosystem 309620 https://padlet.com/309620/14pg9b268gpc/wish/229685489 1.Golden Jackal, Horned Viper, Dorcas Gazelle, Addax Antelope, Scarab Beetle, Desert Monitor, Ostrich,Fennec Fox,Deathstalker Scorpion,Dromedary Camel
2.Tumbleweed,Prickly Pear Cacti,Cacti,Saguaro Cactus,Mexican Poppies,Weathered Trees,Wildflowers,Black Rock Desert,
3.During the day the temperature may reach 50°C, when at night it may fall to below 0°C. Deserts have less than 250 mm of rainfall per year. The rain can be unreliable. Most deserts are found between 20° and 35° north and south of the equator. The Sahara is the largest desert, covering 9 million km2.
4.A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. About one third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid.
