  1. BIOMES 3 Forests

  2. Biomes Abiotic Factors • Nonliving parts influence • The populations • of plants • of animals • That live in an area Biome • Geographic area characterized by certain types of • Plant communities • Animal communities • Made up of smaller ecosystems • Ex: Tropical Rain Forest • Canopy • River • Forest floor • Etc.

  3. Forests Three types • Depends upon • Abiotic factors • Temperature • Precipitation

  4. Temperate Deciduous Forest Tree populations • Deciduous trees that loose leaves in winter • To conserve water • Abiotic • Ave Precipitation • 75 – 125 cm • 29.5 – 49 in. • Ave Temperature • Summer 28 ˚C (82.4˚F) • Winter 6˚C (42.8˚F)

  5. Temperate Deciduous Forest • Biotic Plants • Oak • Beech • Lichen • Maple • Moss • Shrubs • Small flowering plants • Biotic Animals • Beavers • Opossums • Raccoon • White tail deer • Salamanders

  6. Coniferous Forest Tree populations • Evergreen trees, mostly conifers • Waxy coated needles prevent drying out during winter • Abiotic • Ave Precipitation • 35 – 75 cm • 14 – 29.5 in. • Ave Temperature • Summer 14 ˚C (57.2˚F) • Winter -10˚C (14˚F)

  7. Coniferous Forest • Biotic Plants • Pine • Spruce • Fir • Biotic Animals • Moose • Beetles • Geese • Wasps • Owls • Wolves • Bear

  8. Tropical Rain Forest Tree populations • Most biologically diverse • More species than any other biome • Ex. 100 species in area equal to ¼ a football field • Canopy • Preferred living site • 1,400 different species of birds

  9. Tropical Rain Forest Tree populations • Tall Broadleaf Trees • Waxy coated leaves to shed water • Leaves with drip tip • Abiotic • Less than 1 in. Of topsoil • Ave Precipitation • 125 to 660 cm • 50 to 260 inches\ • Ave Temperature • Day: 34 °C (93 °F) • Night: 20 °C (68 °F:

  10. Tropical Rain Forest • Biotic Plants • Ferns • Orchids • Tall broadleaf trees • Palm • Biotic Animals • Frogs • Monkeys • Termites • Jaguars • Parrots
