DESERT BIOME
DESERT BIOME

 A desert can be very hot in daytime and cold
  at night (no rainfall at all.)
 Some deserts are cold all the time.

 Desert plants need special ways of getting
  water; their leaves and roots are special.
 Desert animals have special ways to survive.
  Many shelter underground. Some animals
  are active at night when it’s cool.

GRASSLAND BIOME
GRASSLAND BIOME

 Grasses are the main kind of plant in
  grasslands.
 There are not many trees in grasslands.

 Some grasslands are hot all year round. Some
  grassland areas have hot summers and very
  cold winters.
 Grasslands are big open areas that get between
  25 and 75 cm of rain per year. This is less rain
  than a forest gets and more than a desert gets.

  • 4. ARCTIC TUNDRA BIOME  The tundra is near the North Pole.  Trees do not grow there.  Winters are very cold.  Summers last for a very short time.  It is frozen and never melts.
  • 5. ARCTIC TUNDRA ANIMALS Harlequin Duck (main diet is small sea Arctic Fox Caribou creatures; arctic fox is its (omnivore) (herbivore) main predator) Musk Ox Snowy Owl (herbivore; predators are (carnivore; preys are arctic fox Polar Bear arctic wolf and polar bear) and small animals)
  • 6. ARCTIC TUNDRA PLANTS Caribou Moss Arctic Moss Bearberry Tufted Saxifrage Pasque Flower
  • 8. CONIFEROUS FOREST BIOME  Summers are short and mild and the winters are long, cold and dry.  Plants are mostly evergreen conifers with leaves like needles, such as pine, fir and spruce.  Soil is thin and lacking in nutrients.

  • 12. DECIDUOUS FOREST BIOME  The leaves change color before they fall.  Deciduous trees lose their leaves in autumn.  The fallen leaves are good for the soil.  In spring, new leaves grow and the forest is green again.  The leaves are wide to catch more sunshine.
  • 13. DECIDUOUS FOREST ANIMALS Eastern Chipmunk Coyote (omnivore) European Red Squirrel (omnivore) Least Weasel (eats rodents, birds, poultry, and rabbits) Duckbill Platypus Fat Dormouse (carnivore) (eats fruits, seeds, White-Tailed Deer insects, and bird eggs)

DESERT BIOME  A desert can be very hot in daytime and cold at night (no rainfall at all.)  Some deserts are cold all the time.  Desert plants need special ways of getting water; their leaves and roots are special.  Desert animals have special ways to survive. Many shelter underground. Some animals are active at night when it’s cool.
