Poison dart frog, green anaconda, toucan, gorilla, elephant, jaguar, sloth, civet, tarsier, lemur.
2. cacao, orchids, giant water lilies, passion fruit slower, rubber tree, heliconia flower, bromeliads, monkey brush vine, banana tree, coffee  plant.
3.climate is very humid because of all the rainfall, which amounts to about 250 cm per year. The rainforest has lots of rain because it is very hot and wet. This Climate is found near the equator.
4. Tropical Rain Forests. The Tropical Rainforest made up 14% of the Earth's surface, now there are only about 6% left that covers the land. This 6% of land features mountains, valleys, flood plains, streams, rivers, and a little bit of wetlands.]]> 2018-02-07 18:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229254023 Temperate Deciduous Forest Ecosystem 304963 https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229262974 1. opossum, raccoon, snowy owl, pileated woodpecker, white-tailed deer, broad-winged hawk, porcupines, red foxes, cardinals, slugs.
2. lichen, moss, ferns, maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech trees,  pine trees.
3.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. Precipitation in this biome happens year round. Because the soil is very fertile and hardwood trees are good for building, this biome has some of the world's largest population centers in it.
4. In the Northern Hemisphere, the landscape over which temperate deciduous forests grow includes mountains, valleys, rolling hills, and flat plateaus. In the Southern Hemisphere, dry deciduous forests tend to occur near grasslands where the land is rolling or more nearly level.]]> 2018-02-07 18:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229262974 Taiga Ecosystem 304963 https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229270185 1. Fox, lynx, bear, squirrel, reindeer, moose, mink, grey wolves, caribou, snowshoe rabbit.
2. black spruce, jack pine, balsam fir, douglas fir, eastern red cedar,  paper birch, white fir, siberian spruce, white poplar, white spruce.
 3. Harsh weather in this environment, like icy and snowy winters. Summer is a rainy, hot and short season in the taiga. Fall is the shortest season for taiga. Spring brings flowers, the frozen ponds melt, and the animals come out from hibernation.
4.The cyclic freezing and thawing action of permafrost-rich soils enhances these processes of disintegration. The resulting polygon and stripe-like patterns often seen in alpine areas attest to the dynamic state of this ecosystem. The climate is extremely cold and humid, with long, dark winters and short, cool summers.]]> 2018-02-07 18:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229270185 Grassland Ecosystem 304963 https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229404518 1.Antelope, American bison, Lion, Cheetah, Zebra,  african elephant, malayan tiger, swift fox, black-footed ferret, african wild dog.
2. purple needlegrass, wild oats, foxtail, ryegrass, buffalo grass, asters, blazing stars, goldenrods, sunflowers, clovers.
3. Temperatures in this biome vary greatly between summer and winter. The summers are hot and the winters are cold
4.The grass on steppes is very short and dry steppes are flat grounds that are like patches throughout the whole grassland. Savannas are never mountainous. They sometimes contain landforms such as plateaus. Savanna are often found alongside deserts , but never contain them.

2. Toyon, chamise, poison oak, scrub oak, Yucca, shrubs, trees, cacti, myrtle, hawthorn.
3. the chaparral is characterized as being very hot and dry. The winter is very mild and is usually about 50°F (10°C). Most of the rain in this biome comes in the winter. The summer is hot and dry at up to 100°F (37.5°C). This makes fires and droughts very common.
4.In Europe it is called the maquis, Australia has themallee, Chile the matorral, and South Africa calls it fynbos. It is also called the Mediterranean Forest, Woodland, and Scrub biome. The chaparral biome has many different types of terrain. Some examples are flat plains, rocky hills and mountain slopes.]]> 2018-02-08 18:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229737842 Desert Ecosystem 304963 https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229738144 1.Desert tortoise, peccary, rattlesnake, scorpion, coyote, jack rabbit, turkey vulture, road runner, gila monster, kangaroo rat.
2. western wallflower, barrel cactus, sego lily, yucca, prickly pear cactus, creosote bush, showy four o'clock, saguaro cactus, beavertail, palo verde.
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.The wind also plays an important role in moving and reshaping dunes. Examples of landforms that are obvious in deserts are rock pedestals, Yardangs, Desert pavements, Deflation hollows, Oasis and Sand dunes.About 10 to 20 percent of most deserts are covered by sand. Gravel, boulders, mountains, clay, and various types of soil cover most of the rest of the land. Most desert soil is too dry to support widespread vegetation, but much of it is rich in salt, uranium, and other minerals.]]> 2018-02-08 18:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229738144 Tundra Ecosystem 304963 https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229738268 1. arctic wolf, arctic hare, arctic fox, polar bear, musk ox, reindeer, caribou, dall sheep, snowy owl, ermine.
2. Arctic Moss, Arctic Willow, Bearberry, Caribou Moss, Diamond-leaf Willow, Labrador Tea, Pasque Flower, Tufted Saxifrage, arctic poppies, cushion plants.
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. The dominant landscape type in most of the Arctic Circle, tundra is known for its abundance of water, low rolling hills and soft, porous earth. Even grass is an uncommon feature, as the rocky, wet ground is instead covered with lichens and low-lying brush.]]> 2018-02-08 18:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229738268 Marine Ecosystem 304963 https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229739026 1.Sharks, swordfish, tuna, clown fish, grouper, stingray, flatfish, eels, rockfish, seahorse.
2. Algae, Sea Grasses, Phytoplankton, Coral Reefs, Seaweed, Marsh Grasses,
Sea Anemones Sea Cabbage and more that have not been discovered.
3.The marine biome has a big influence on our terrestrial climate! Temperatures in the ocean range from just around freezing at the pole and in the deep waters, to tropical clear waters that are as warm as a bathtub. The average temperature of all oceans is about 39°F (4°C).
4.There are many landforms that fill the ocean biome. This includes coral reefs(pictured), underwater ridges, marshes, estuaries, bays, gulfs, wetlands, and trenches.

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 18:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/304963/p0d1f96ql8cr/wish/229751716
