DESCRIPTION
What is a biome? Many ecosystems combined sharing the same climate and soil conditions. Organisms are adapted structurally and behaviorally to that particular biome Ex: Saguaro and anthodium Organisms in biomes demonstrate tolerance. What is that?TRANSCRIPT

behaviorally to that particular biome Ex: Saguaro and anthodium
Organisms in biomes demonstrate tolerance. What is that?

Section 4-3 Tropical rain forest Temperate grassland Temperate
forest Tundra Tropical dry forest Desert Northwestern coniferous
forest Mountains and ice caps Tropical savanna Temperate woodland
and shrubland Boreal forest (Taiga) Generally speaking What
adaptations do plants and animals have for the biomes they live in?
Example: What are plants like in temperate climate?.... Tropical
Rainforest Temperate Rainforest Desert Taiga Coniferous forest
Boreal forest Savannah Dry grassland, poor soil, and sparse trees
Tundra a world of long winters, and very short summers
Other land areas Tundra a world of long winters, and very short
summers Other land areas Mountain ranges Varies elevation
How does that influence climate? Polar ice caps Cool surrounding
water Cool air What does that mean?
