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 rainforest has lots of rain because it is very hot and wet. This climate is found near the equator.
4.  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. Although rainforests across the world share certain characteristics.

Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles, salamanders, broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers.
2. Lichen, moss, ferns, wildflowers, Maple, Oak, Birch, Magnolia, and American sweetgum.
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. 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.

2. Pine, white spruce, hemlock, douglas fir, Moss, lichens, evergreens, Caribou Moss, Reindeer Lichen, and rangiferina.
3. The taiga is the terrestrial biome with the lowest annual average temperatures after the tundra and permanent ice caps. ... 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. Taiga also known as boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces and larches. The taiga is the world's largest biome apart from the oceans. In North America it covers most of inland Canada and Alaska as well as parts of the extreme northern continental.

2. Purple needlegrass, wild oats,foxtail, ryegrass,  buffalo grass, shrubs, Oat, Buchloe, and Nassella Pulchra.
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 five terrestrial ecoregion classifications (subdivisions) of the temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome (ecosystem), which is one of eight terrestrial ecozones.

2. Toyon, sugarbush, yucca, coffeeberry, California buckwheat, scrub oak, mountain mahogany, chamies, and Quercus berberidifolia.
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. 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.

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. Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earth's surface and occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year. Although most deserts, such as the Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Australia, occur at low latitudes, another kind of desert, cold deserts, occur in the basin and range area of Utah.

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 climateis 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 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 .... Shrubs and spruce that previously couldn't take root on the permafrost now dot the landscape, potentially altering the habitat of the native animals.]]> 2018-02-08 18:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/3039561/wmhfk8qkvat3/wish/229747002 Freshwater Ecosystem 3039561 https://padlet.com/3039561/wmhfk8qkvat3/wish/229750018 1.

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 landscapes. Freshwater ecosystems (rivers, lakes, ponds, groundwaters and wetlands) and their catchment landscapes provide major services. For example, in the UK, 389,000 km of rivers transport water, matter, energy and organisms between air, land and sea.

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. 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 18:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/3039561/wmhfk8qkvat3/wish/229753132
