  1. ClimatogramsThat Define a Biome Temperature & Precipitation

  2. Key Terms Biome • biotic community • dominant plants and animals • unique climate Biomes of the World

  3. BIOMES • Tundra • Coniferous Forest • Deciduous Forest • Desert • Grassland • Rainforest

  4. Key Terms Climatogram • graph • shows a biome’s monthly temperature • and precipitation data • in a single year

  5. Key Term Abiotic Factors Physical or NONLIVING component of an ecosystem Rocks, Sand, Cliffs Snow, Rain, Hail Wind Sun, Heat, Cold

  6. Tundra • Permafrost (permanent layer of frost) • Little rain or snowfall • Least diverse biome • Flat terrain • Constant low temperature

  7. Coniferous Forest(TAIGA) • Spruce and Fir Trees (Cone Plants) • Mosses, lichens, small shrubs • Winter snowfall • Short, warm summer days • Snow completely thaws

  8. Deciduous Forest • Distinct 4 seasons • Trees lose leaves in the Fall • Richest Soil • Oaks, Maple, Hickory, Chestnut • Abundant snow and rainfall • Squirrels, Deer, Birds, Fox, Skunk

  9. Desert • Extreme temperatures • Little precipitation • Poor, dry conditions • Thorny plants, cacti • Rodents, insects, reptiles, camels

  10. Grassland • Tall, Mixed or Short grass • Deep, porous soil • Low-medium precipitation • Wolves, grasshoppers, jackrabbits, badgers, rattlesnakes, birds, • Low winter temperatures

  11. Rainforest • Most Diverse • Minimal season variation • Rainfall, Humidity, Precipitation High • Vegetation is dense • Broad leafed plants • Insects, fungi, monkeys, birds, frogs

  12. Purpose of Lab • Graph data of temperature and precipitation • Compare biomes
