Dry desert Plants Animals Climate Mojave Desert ... Sonoran Desert In this report you will learn about Hot and Dry Deserts and Cold Deserts. I hope you enjoy! A Hot and Dry Desert is, as you can tell from the name, hot and dry. Most Hot and Dry Deserts don't have very many plants. They do have some low down plants though. The only animals they have that can survive have the ability to burrow under ground. This is because they would not be able to live in the hot sun and heat. They only come out in the night when it is a little cooler. A cold desert is a desert that has snow in the winter instead of just dropping a few degrees in temperature like they would in a Hot and Dry Desert. It never gets warm enough for plants to grow. Just maybe a few grasses and mosses. The animals in Cold Deserts also have to burrow but in this case to keep warm, not cool. That is why you might find some of the same animals here as you would in the Hot and Dry Deserts. Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earth's land surface. Most Hot and Dry Deserts are near the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn. Cold Deserts are near the Arctic part of the world.

48. 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.

Neighborhoods Ecosystems, Biomes, and Habitats Ecosystems vary in size. They can be as small as a puddle or as large as the Earth itself. Any goup of living and nonliving things interacting with each other can be considered as an ecosystem. Organization of Ecosystems Definition of Ecosystems Florida Ecosystems Aquatic Ecosystems ... Investigate an Ecosystem Open the door and step into your ecosystem. Go outside and investigate the closest ecosystem. Within each ecosystem, there are habitats which may also vary in size. A habitat is the place where a population lives. A population is a group of living organisms of the same kind living in the same place at the same time. All of the populations interact and form a community . The community of living things interacts with the non-living world around it to form the ecosystem. The habitat must supply the needs of organisms, such as food, water, temperature, oxygen, and minerals. If the population's needs are not met, it will move to a better habitat. Two different populations can not occupy the same niche at the same time, however. So the processes of

Biomes a WebQuest for sixth grade science by Dana Matousek Introduction Task Resources Process ... Teacher Notes Introduction You have a new summer job working for a travel agent. You have been hired to create brochures and posters that will persuade travelers to visit a specific geographical biome. You have the opportunity to be extremely creative for the summer! Back to top The Task Working in groups of four or five, divide up the task of researching one of the six biomes: Tundra, Taiga, Temperate Deciduous Forest, Tropical Rain Forest, Grasslands and Desert. You will organize the information into a brochure and illustrate the biome ecosystem in a poster. Each group member will assemble a brochure to present to a group of travel agents selling different biomes. Back to top The Process First, meet with your assigned group and read through the entire webquest. Once you are familiar with what you will be doing, brainstorm ways to accomplish your tasks. To brainstorm effectively, you should take on roles such as recorder, to write down all group members ideas; task master, to mediate and keep everyone on task; and a audio master, to be a good listener to make sure that all group members' ideas get recorded. Agree upon the best way to accomplish your task and make a quick outline. Each group member should make a list of the research and work he or she is responsible for.

The first two would result in continuous belts of different biomes parallel with the Equator. The third factor disrupts this pattern. Circulation of air on the surface of the Earth.

Climograph of North American biomes. Tundra Tundra occurs between the taiga and the permanently frozen polar regions. The annual precipitation is usually less than 250 mm, and water is not available for living organisms most of the time. During summer months (mostly July and August), the upper layer of the soil thaws, but half a meter underground the soil remains frozen. As a result of the permafrost, short summers and very long cold winters, no trees occur in the tundra. Bogs, ponds and herbaceous plants (and billions of mosquitoes) characterize the landscape, and even the few woody plants (Dwarf Birch, Arctic Willow) are dwarf.

TERRESTRIAL BIOMES Ralph E. Taggart, Professor Department of Plant Biology Department of Geological Sciences Michigan State University The nature of communities and ecosystem on land is shaped primarily by the dominant producers. It is the plants that provide the framework for the overall structure and potential relationships within the natural systems of a region. Although the biodiversity patterns of different parts of the earth's surface can be quite different, there can be a remarkable similarity in the aspect of communities and ecosystems developed under similar climates. Thus, while the specific plants which are present in a rainforest in South America are quite different from those in a rainforest in the Congo, the two forests will be quite similar in terms of the scope of biodiversity and the ways in which niche space is partitioned. Put simply, rainforests, as one example, will look quite similar from one biogeographic region to another, despite profound differences in the specific plants and animals that make up these forests. These broad zones, with their definable characteristics, are known as biomes Climate, specifically, temperature and rainfall, is the most important factor in defining the nature of the biomes that develop within specific regions:
