Must include these factors
1. Geographic location of biome: where is this biome found?
2. Abiotic factor: Climate
o What is the average temperature range in this biome
3. Major characteristics
o What are 2 major characteristics about your biome
4. Abiotic factor: Precipitation

7. 1 ecological issue or human impact concern for the biome
You and your group are responsible for organizing the information into an easy to read format that can be
displayed on a poster. Use the book, internet, and other available resources to complete this assignment. Be
prepared to answer questions about your biome and to be randomly asked to present to the class.
