Precipitation occurs frequently, but seasonality is possible. Warmth and rain make plant life and decomposition abundant. Tropical rainforest are located between 20 N and S. They have layers of life (vertically), shallow poor soil, and great diversity. ]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778063 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778064 Tundra has average temperatures below 5 C. This area has soil that is frozen for years without thawing below a couple of inches. No trees can be supported, just low plants. The area has low humidity, like a desert. Tundra is located in high latitudes and some high altitudes, even in tropics. Popular animals living in this biome are mountain goats, sheep, and polar bear.]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778064 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778065 Biome Temperate Deciduous Forests are located 40-60 degrees N and S. This biome has warm summers and cold winters with over 39 inches of annual precipitation. They are dense with broadleaf deciduous trees such as beech, maple, and oak. Their higher soil fertility, combined with their longer growing season, means that temperate seasonal forests have greater plant productivity than a large number of biomes. With high plant productivity comes with many animals including squirrels, black bears, and foxes.]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778065 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778066 Temperate Rainforest Biome appears in mid range latitudes (38-58 degrees S and 38-61 degrees N) near cooler, coastal mountainous regions. High precipitation and a 12 month growing season produces an environment for plants and animals to thrive. Common plants found in this terrestrial biome are peach trees, evergreen trees, and oak trees. Some animals that are able to live a sustainable life in this biome are elk, dear, and otters]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778066 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778068 Temperate Grassland Biomes are located anywhere north of 30 degrees latitude. Temperatures vary drastically having very cold and harsh winters to hot and dry summers. Not a lot of precipitation causes only grass, shrubs, and smaller plants to be able to survive. Common animals found in this biome are bison, black bears, deer and wolves.]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778068 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778069 Savanna/tropical seasonal forest Biomes are located 10-20 degrees N and S. Most precipitation only occurs during summer, which still is not a lot. This environment allows for mainly shrubs, acacia trees, and baobab trees to survive. Animals found here consist of zebras, giraffes, and elephants.]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778069 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778070 Shrubland/Woodland Biomes are found between 30 and 40 degrees N. There is a 12-month growing season, but plant growth is limited by high temperatures and low precipitation in summer and by colder temperatures and higher precipitation in winter. These conditions allow for shrubs, mesquite trees, and Yucca trees to thrive long with others depending on the continent the biome is located. Common animals located in these biomes are horses, deer, and moose.]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778070 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778071 Desert Biomes are found near 30 degrees N and S. There are four main types of a Desert Biome; subtropical, semiarid, coastal, and polar. Each varies heavily from one another. Subtropical Deserts hold one constant, hot temperatures, extremely dry conditions, and sparse vegetation. These conditions allow for cacti to grow since they are able to hold a large water supply. Animals found in this biome are snakes coyotes, and turtles.]]> 2023-08-22 13:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778071 colinscheid2020 https://padlet.com/colinscheid2020/696i6vang6j82xrc/wish/2668778072 Boreal Forest/Taiga Biomes are mostly found between 50-70 degrees N. Cold winters and short, cool growing seasons in the summer allow evergreen trees to be sustainable.
