Desert • Hot days/Cold nights • Limited rainfall (dry) • Limited plants and grasses • There is a desert on every continent. • Not all deserts are hot (some are cold!) http://videos.howstuffworks.com/discovery/28106-assignment-discovery-desert-biomes-video.htm
Forests • Found in temperate and tropical regions • Fertile soil • Consistent rainfall • Large amounts of plants and animals http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/rainforest.html
Grasslands • Cold winter/Hot summer • Limited precipitation (dry) • Flat land • Limited trees www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/grasslands.html
Tundra • Coldest of all biomes • Flat land • Treeless due to long winters • Limited rainfall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WysPqt0Y_-w
Taiga • Largest land biome • Cold and dry • Coniferous forest (cones) • Found in Polar regions http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/taiga.html
