Discovering Biomes

This informative guide delves into various biomes around the world, utilizing data from the MODIS Terra satellite. It examines average land surface temperatures, rainfall patterns, and vegetative productivity across distinct regions including the Taiga in Alaska, temperate deciduous forests in New Jersey, tropical areas in Australia, tundras in Colorado, grasslands in South Dakota, and deserts in Utah. Additionally, it highlights fascinating adaptations of plants, such as spines for protection and waxy stems for water retention, essential for survival in these diverse climates.
