Welcome to the World's Biomes Page! Biomes are defined as "the world's major communities, classified according to the predominant vegetation and characterized by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment" (Campbell). Biomes are classified in various ways. This page will group biomes into five major types: Aquatic Deserts Forests Grasslands ... Tundra These exhibits explore the ancestor/descendant relationships which connect all organisms, past and present. The importance of biomes cannot be overestimated. Biomes have changed and moved many times during the history of life on Earth. More recently, human activities have drastically altered these communities. Thus, conservation and preservation of biomes should be a major concern to all. Hopefully, this page will increase your general knowledge of biomes.

Biomes are the world's major communities where insects, animals, plants and people live in a certain type of climate. 2. The climate and geography of an area determines what type of biome can exist in that region. 3. Each biome consists of many ecosystems. 4. Here are the commonly grouped biomes: Desert, Deciduous Forest, Coniferous Forest, Arctic Tundra, Tropical Rainforest, Grasslands, Taiga. 5. There are also Marine and Freshwater ecosystems that could be considered the water biomes. 6. The Marine and Freshwater biomes are extremely important because water is the basis of all life. 7. The earth's coldest biome is the tundra which has permanently frozen subsoil, called permafrost. 8. All of the biomes need to be protected. Over the past several years, human activity has destroyed, exploited, or polluted many of the biomes. 9. All living things are closely related to their environment and any change in part part, like an increase or decrease in one type of plant or animal, can cause a ripple effect of change through the entire biome.

Volume One focuses on the Taiga and Forest, namely the Eastern Deciduous Forest and Western and Northern Pine Forests for a multimedia presentation with music, hyperlinked text, and sound effects. Get definitions and take notes. Pause the program at any time to copy or print pictures, as well as participate in a variety of other activities supported by the CD. ~ Lisa Karen Savignano, All Game Guide Review: Overall Biomes is a multimedia presentation on the varying Biomes making up North American Ecology and Biology. Wide varieties of Biomes are covered, from the far northern Taiga to the southern jungle and desert. Though all the biomes are given a somewhat more than cursory glance at the beginning of the presentation, the program then goes into the Northern, Eastern and Western Forests in more detail. Many words in the text are hyperlinked, allowing students to look up an unfamiliar word if they do not understand it from the context. In addition, the student can pause the presentation at any time, and print out any of the pictures that come with the CD. Each Biome is covered in detail, showing different skeins that make up the major biomes themselves and giving an overview of the major sorts of plant and animal life that call each biome home. From this CD, students should be able to put together a report about the major biomes.

Biomes A biome is a large natural area where certain types of plants grow. It also includes the animals that feed on the plants. Soil, water, rocks and climate help determine the types of plants that grow in a biome. The earth has more than 30 kinds of biomes. Biomes blend into one another. Some animals migrate from one biome to another when seasons change. The plants and animals in a biome depend on one another for survival. Plants provide food and shelter for animals. Animals help spread the seeds of plants. The plants and animals that live in a biome depend on its climate. Climate is the weather that an area has had over a long period of time. Rain, snow, temperature, wind and sunlight are all parts of climate. The location of a biome also affects its climate. Forest Biomes: Boreal Forests or Taiga : are located in northern areas of the world and near the tops of high mountains. They have long, dry, cold winters and short, warm summers. In winter, thick, snow covers the ground. It acts as a blanket and prevents the ground from freezing. Conifers or evergreens as well as bushes, shrubs, ferns and mosses grown in boreal forests. Carnivores, including weasels, mink, wolves, wolverines, owls, and hawks hunt in the taiga. Deer, bear, and squirrels live in taiga all year around, while caribou live there in the winter. Temperate forests: have warm, wet summers and cool winters. Temperate rainforests receive a high rainfall. Conifers, broad-leaved trees, ferns, bushes and flowers all grow in the temperate rainforest. Deciduous forest have trees with broad lives. These trees do not make food during winter because there is not enough rain or sunshine. Their leaves turn color in the fall. Temperate forests are full of animals: birds, squirrels, rabbits, fox, frogs, and snakes.

33. Blue Planet Biomes In our site you will discover facts about our planet, its complex patterns of biomes, plants, and animals, and how climates ultimately determine the biomes of our Earth. http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/

An Introduction In our site you will discover facts about our planet, its complex patterns of biomes, plants, and animals, and how climates ultimately determine the biomes of our Earth. This site was created to teach students the power of the Internet as a tool for both communication and learning, and how to use this tool while at the same time express their scientific/environmental knowledge in a fun way. Students have individually researched different attributes of major climate regions (biomes). Topics covered include the various animals and plants of these regions, the climates, and other specific biome characteristics. Our hope is that this site will be up-dated, changed and improved by each succeeding 6th grade class for many years. This site was created and developed by Elisabeth Benders-Hyde. It evolved from a biome project created by Ann and Karl Nelson, two fabulous 6th grade math and science teachers.

Plants Animals Climate Northeast Asian Deciduous Forest Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe. There are many deciduous forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of deciduous forests in southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are deciduous forests located in New Zealand, and southeastern Australia also. In deciduous forests there are five different zones. The first zone is the Tree Stratum zone. The Tree Stratum zone contains such trees as oak, beech, maple, chestnut hickory, elm, basswood, linden, walnut, and sweet gum trees. This zone has height ranges between 60 feet and 100 feet. The small tree and sapling zone is the second zone. This zone has young, and short trees. The third zone is called the shrub zone. Some of the shrubs in this zone are rhododendrons, azaleas, mountain laurel, and huckleberries. The Herb zone is the fourth zone. It contains short plants such as herbal plants. The final zone is the Ground zone. It contains lichen, club mosses, and true mosses. The deciduous forest has four distinct seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In the autumn the leaves change color. During the winter months the trees lose their leaves.

38. Tundra 3 Climate, location, animals, health issues, all are discussed in this page produced by middle school students. http://ths.sps.lane.edu/biomes/tundra3/tundra3.html

Tundra The tundra can be found in the high northern latitudes of the world. Some plants and shrubs bloom in early autumn. During this short period of time, the blooms are brilliant. The growing season in the tundra is very short due to the frozen permafrost that only begins to thaw in mid-summer. Some prehistoric animals have been found preserved in the thick permafrost. The most common animals found in the tundra are the caribou, reindeer, and the lemming. Climate/Location Vegetation Health Issues Animals Climate/Location The tundra is the coldest and the driest of all the biomes on Earth. This biome lies above the Arctic Ocean in the world's highest northern latitudes. The tundra covers about one fifth of the land surface found on Earth. These low swampy plains are found in Northern Europe, Siberia, Northern most part of North America, and a few places in the southern hemisphere. All locations reach low temperatures that can freeze on any night, even in the tropical locations. The summers in the tundra are short. The tundra experiences 24 hour long days. In the summer the soil becomes very soggy because of the melted permafrost. In the winter the weather can reach -50 degrees fahrenheit. The precipitation received in this biome is less than ten inches a year. There is very little evaporation. This causes the moisture to be absorbed into the ground which is called premafrost. The permafrost lies six inches below the ground. The permafrost prevents drainage of excess moisture. Trees and plants have a hard time growing in these conditions. The growing season is short and can last up to 60 days.
