  1. Land Biomes Of the World Tropical Rain Forest Desert Grassland Temperate Forest Boreal Forest Tundra

  2. Tropical Rain Forest Tropical Rainforests • Climate: It rains almost everyday. Very warm (humid) • Consumers: Tigers, leopards, pythons, insects, spiders, tree frogs, monkeys, snakes, colorful birds, ants, firefly, orangutan, and three-toed sloth • Producers: more kinds of plants grow in the tropical rainforest than other biomes. Palm trees, ferns, banana leaf vines, and flowers. • Extra facts: located near the equator ½ of all animals on earth live in the rainforest. More tree dwelling creatures than any other biome. Insects have evolved to have lots of predator adaptation due to the numerous amount of predators.

  5. Nocturnal • Animals that are active at night and sleep during the day

  6. Diurnal • Organisms active during the day and sleep at night.

  7. Desert Climate: Very dry, little precipitation, hot days, cool nights Consumers: Snakes, lizards, kangaroo rats, tortoises, jackrabbits, and camels. Producers: Very few; cacti, saguaro, yucca. Plants store water and have very small leaves and thorns. Extra facts: Animals active during day are called diurnal. Active at night called nocturnal. Very few large animals live in the desert because large amounts of food and water are hard to find. Different types of Deserts. Sahara vs. Arizona desert Desert

  8. Sahara Desert – Lots of Sand, few producers and Camels.

  9. Arizona Desert = Cacti, Joshua trees, I do not want to see a picture of a cactus next to a camel they do not live in the same Desert!

  10. Climate: moderate to very warm most of the year, short winters, & humid summers. Average amount of precipitation. Consumers: Antelope, badgers, prairie dogs, moles, ground squirrels, hares, gophers, & many birds. Producers: grasses, very few trees Extra facts: also called savannas, velds, papas, prairies, and steppes Grassland

  11. DeciduousTrees -trees that drop their leaves and grow new ones each year. Leaves changecolor. • Video about different types of trees. • Coniferous Trees-(evergreens) trees that produce their seed in cones and have needle shaped leaves. They stay green all year.

  12. Climate: warm summers, cold winters, moist spring, four seasons. Precipitation varies Consumers: bears, deer, foxes, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, insects, and birds. Producers: wildflowers, ferns, mosses, some evergreens, most are deciduous, such as oak, hickory, beech and maple tree. MOST OF THE TREES ARE DECIDUOUS (leaves change color in fall) Extra Facts: leaves fall off the tree in fall therefore there is lots of dead leaves on the ground. Many animals hibernate. (video) DeciduousForest

  13. Boreal Forest(Coniferous Forest, Taiga) • Climate: cold, some rain, large amounts of snow fall. Winter 6 months of the year. • Consumers: deer, ducks, geese, moose, mountain goats, bears, bighorn sheep, rabbits, squirrels, porcupine. • Producers: spruces, firs, pines, aspens, poplars, mosses, lichens, wildflowers MOST OF THE TREES ARE CONIFERS (trees with cones) • Extra facts: Most trees are evergreens (trees that stay green all year). • Video (2 minutes) Brain pop on Taiga

  14. Tundra • Climate: very cold, little precipitation, snow on the ground all but two months of the year. • Consumers: reindeer, arctic foxes, wolves, snowy owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, lemmings, voles, marmots, mosquitoes, and flies. • Producers: during two summer months Mosses, grasses, shrubs, lichens NO TREES because the soil is frozen called permafrost. • Extra facts: very, very cold • Brain bop on Tundra • Tundra video • Review Video of all 6 land biomes.

  15. Permafrost Permanently Frozen Soil

  16. Warm-up # 1 • What is a Biome? • What are the 6 main land biomes? • What two factors make up the climate of a biome? • What are the levels of ecological organization starting with the smallest unit and going up.

  17. Warm-up # 1 • Why do rainforest plants have large leaves? • Which biome is located at the equator? • What two factors make up the climate of a biome? • What are the levels of ecological organization starting with the smallest unit and going up.

  18. Warm-up # 3 • What is the difference between a Deciduous Tree and a Evergreen tree? • Why are conifers triangle in shape and have needle shaped leaves? • What are two abiotic factors you can compare between biomes?

  19. Warm-up # 4 • What is a biome? • What is the difference between producers in the Boreal Forest and the Deciduous Forest? • Explain why desert plants have small leaves and TRF plants have large wide leaves. • Create a food chain found in the Boreal Forest? • What are two abiotic factors you can compare between biomes?

  20. Warm-up # 6 • What are the two abiotic factors that you can compare between biomes? • What are 2 herbivores that live in the boreal forest? • List a producer found in the TRF, Grassland and Desert. • What role does a lion, anteater and scorpion play in their biome?

  21. Warm-up # 4 1. What are the four layers of the tropical rain forest name an organism found at each level. 2. What are 3 carnivores that live in the desert? 3. Why can’t trees grow in the Tundra? 4. List 4 organisms found predominately in the Deciduous Forest?

  22. Warm-up # 4 • Create a Venn diagram of the three forest biomes.

  23. Warm-up #3 • Name four Biotic factors found mostly in the Deciduous Forest. • Describe the 4 layers of the Tropical Rain Forest. • Which 2 Biomes have evergreen trees? • Which biome has warm temperatures all year long. • What is a large ecosystem which has similar populations and climate throughout.

  24. Warm-up # 6 • Name the 6 biomes that you have studied. • What is permafrost? • What 2 abiotic factors determined climate, therefore the type of biomes that can exist? • What are some ways that humans can alter (change) a biome? • Recall the cycles that you learned about (water, carbon, nitrogen). Give an example of how altering a biome would impact one of these cycles?

  25. Emergent Layer Canopy Understory Forest Floor

  26. Warm-up # 5 • Create a Venn diagram of the three treeless biomes.

  27. Desert Article Questions • What is a Joshua Tree? • What are five different producers found in the desert? • What is causing some deserts to expand? Is this a bad thing? (explain) • How do desert flowers survive droughts? • What is a resurrection plant? • How do cactus survive the desert?
