Ten animals that live in the this ecosystem are  Jaguar, Ocelots, Sloths, Gorillas, Harpy Eagles, Caiman, Leopards, Bengal Tigers,  Rhinoceros and  Toco toucans.
2. Ten plants that live in this ecosystem are Heliconia Flowers, Rubber Trees, Orchids, Cacaos, Giant Water Lilies, Passion Fruit Flowers, Bromeliads, Monkey Brush Vines, Banana Trees and Coffee Plants.
3. In an average year in a tropical rainforest, 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. Tropical rain forests inhabit the equatorial belt, and are characterized by intense sunlight, heat and large amounts of rainfall. The largest forests are found in South America, Central Africa and the Indonesian archipelago.]]> 2018-02-07 20:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229310952 Temperate Deciduous Forest Ecosystem 3048881 https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229318613 1. Ten animals that live in the this ecosystem are Broad-winged hawks, Cardinals, Pileated woodpeckers, White-tailed deers, Raccoons, Opossums, Porcupines, True foxes.
2. Ten plants that live in the this ecosystem are Ostrich Fern, Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum, Moss, Oaks, Maples, Birchs, Magnolias, American sweetgums, Beechs and Lichens.
3. The average temperature of the forest is about 50 degrees F. The average amount of rainfall in the forest is 30 to 60 inches a year. As the seasons change, so do the colors of the leaves of the deciduous. During the winter months water is generally not available to keep the leaves of some plants alive.
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.]]> 2018-02-07 20:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229318613 Desert Ecosystem 3048881 https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229325587 1.

2. Ten plants that live in the this ecosystem are Joshua Trees, Baileya, Barrel cactus, Echinocactus grusonii, Stenocereus thurberi, Pachycereus, Saguaro Cactus, Pachycereus pringlei and Pachycereus Schottii.
3. Deserts have extreme temperatures. 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.
4. Deserts landscapes are more diverse than many expect. Some are found on a flat shield of ancient crystalline rocks hardened over many millions of years, yielding flat deserts of rock and sand such as the Sahara. Others are the folded product of more recent tectonic movements, and have evolved into crumpled landscapes of rocky mountains emerging from lowland sedimentary plains, as in Central Asia or North America .]]> 2018-02-07 20:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229325587 Tundra Ecosystem 3048881 https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229444159 1.

3. Tundras are among Earth's coldest, harshest biomes.Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the climate is cold and windy and rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are snow-covered for much of the year, until summer brings a burst of wildflowers. 
4. Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons.]]> 2018-02-08 07:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229444159 Grassland Ecosystem 3048881 https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229803286 1.

2. asters, blazing stars, goldenrods, sunflowers, clovers, wild indigos, purple needlegrass, wild oats, foxtail, ryegrass, and buffalo grass.
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. Grasslands have many names—prairies in North America, Asian steppes, savannas and velds in Africa, Australian rangelands, and pampas, llanos and cerrados in South America. ... Grassland ecosystems are particularly fragile because water is scarce.]]> 2018-02-08 20:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229803286 Freshwater Ecosystem 3048881 https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229806266 1. clams, shrimp, fish, birds, Turtle, Otter, Crocodile , lizards, snakes, and frogs.

3. The temperatures range from 65 °F to 75 °F in the summer and 35 °F to 45 °F in the winter. The climate of freshwater biome is determined by a number of factors including location, season and depth of water. On average, the temperature will decline as the water gets deeper.
4.Freshwater ecosystems are a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. They include lakes and ponds, rivers, streams, springs, and wetlands. They can be contrasted with marine ecosystems, which have a larger salt content.]]> 2018-02-08 20:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229806266 Marine Ecosystem 3048881 https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229810033 1.

4. Marine ecosystems are among the largest of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. Examples include salt marshes, intertidal zones, estuaries, lagoons, mangroves, coral reefs, the deep sea, and the sea floor. They can be contrasted with freshwater ecosystems, which have a lower salt content.]]> 2018-02-08 20:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229810033 Taiga Ecosystem 3048881 https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229814868 1.

4.It is shaped by a Mediterranean climate (mild, wet winters and hot dry summers) and wildfire, featuring summer-drought-tolerant plants with hard sclerophyllous evergreen leaves, as contrasted with the associated soft-leaved, drought-deciduous, scrub community of coastal sage scrub, found below the chaparral biome.]]> 2018-02-08 20:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/3048881/mot95xzjp5ex/wish/229817298
