Forest Ecosystems Chapter B1
Deciduous Forest • Large, flat leaves that drop off in the Fall, new leaves grow in Spring. • Leaves change color with the seasons. • These trees grow in places that have warm, wet summers and cold winters. Winter
Tropical Rain Forest Canopy • These trees grow in places that are hot and wet all year. • Trees are very tall and the leaves are always green. • The forest has three layers. Understory Forest floor
Coastal Forest • Grows in places where there is lots of rain. • Temperature is not too hot or too cold, just cool. • Has three layers just like the rain forest: canopy, understory, forest floor.
Coniferous Forest • Grows in places with very cold winters and cool summers. • The leaves look like needles so they don’t need very much water. • Seeds grow in cones. • Get less rain than all the other forests. Seed cone
