Three examples of
plants in the Tropical
forest are:
The Cacao

adapted to grow in
the shade.

Adaptation:
They have adapted to
plant there roots in
the ground (what ever
that means)
Florida strangler fig

planting its seeds in
the trees.
3 animal
examples and
adaptations
Three examples of
animals in the Tropical
Forest are:
The poisons dart frog
Adaptation:
They have a sticky
substance on their
feet and hands to
climb trees and stick
to wet leaves in the
Tropical Rainforest.
Toucan
Adaptation:
Their large beaks
enable them to lick up
and or kill larger prey.
Tiger
Adaptation:
Its patterned strips
enable them to be

their prey.
Climate

Location
The average climate
for the Tropical
Rainforest is about 80
degrees Fahrenheit,
and stays in that range
in temperature. It is
usually always warm
and wet. On average it
rains 50-260 in.
annually.The air
pressure in the
Tropical Rainforest is
low because they are
located so close to the
equator.
Many few people live
in the Tropical
Rainforest but people
come in and take the
wildernesses
vegetation. People are
cutting down the
trees for timber and
using the plants or the
vegetation for food
and medicine for
more than a few
people.
The Tropical
Rainforests are found
in Central and South
America, Southeast,
Asia, Africa, and
Australia.

Temperate
Deciduous
Forest
Three examples of
plants in the
Temperate deciduous
forest are:
Three examples of
animals are:
The Ginkgo tree
Adaptation:
It must adapt to its air
and durt around it.
The Lady Fern
Adaptation:
It must adapt to its
area, because it
spreads out like a
circle and dies in the
middle so it must
room to grow.
The European Red
Squirrel
Adaptation:
Their special features
like his tail, it helps
them stay balanced,
help them find food
and shelter in there
woodland territory.
The White Tailed
Deer
Adaptation:
They eat whatever is
in their area in the
biome.
The Primrose plant
Adaptation:
They can adapt in dry
open fields,
along roadsides,
railroad embankments
,and so on.
3 Plant Examples
The average
temperature in the
Temperate Deciduous
Forest ranges from 80
degrees Fahrenheit to
15 degrees fahrenhiet.
The rain fall is ranged
from 50 cm per year
to 200 cm per year.
Changes acure ever
season, like warm and
wet climate, and dry
and cold.
The Deciduous Forest
is getting its trees
chopped down for
lumber, and also
making room for
farmland.
The building of
motorways through
deciduous forests is
also a big one.
The deciduous forest
is located east side of
the USA,
In the South of South
America, big
part of Europe, Japan
the east side of Asia.
Finally there is a little
bit on the east side
of Australia.

Tundra
Three examples of
plants in the Tundra
are:
Arctic Moss
Adaptation:
Acrtic Moss can with
stand water
temperature down to
0 celcius.
Bearberry
Adaptation:
This plant can live
through cold weather
without losing its
leaves. To have food
for animals.
Caribou Moss
Adaptation:
This plant or type of
fungi thrives in the
darkness.
Three examples of
animals in the Tundra
are:
Sea Otter
Adaptation:
Sea Otter can swim up
to 9 mph in the water.
To catch their prey or
run away from
predators.
Brown Bear
Adaptation:
Brown Bears must dig
dens for their newly
arriving cubs in the
spring.
Moose
Adaptation:
Hollow hooves to dig
snow and hind under
plants in the winter.
The winter
temperature in the
Tundra can go down
to -30 degrees
Fahrenheit, but in
Siberia the
temperature can get
to -93F. But it can
get up to 45F in the
summer. The sun is
out all day, and every
day in the summer.
The average rain fall
for the year is 6-10 in.
The most seaver
threat to the Tundra is
global warming. The
green house gases are
eliminating the Arctic
regions.
The Tundra is located
at the top of the
world, or by the north
pole.

Desert
Three examples of
plants in the desert
are:
Prickly pear Cactus
Adaptation:
The adaption of this
plant is pretty much
the impact of its
painful prickly spines
and bristles.
Barrel Cactus
Adaptation:
Whenever it rains the
barrel shaped plant
and catch the water
and bring it to the
shallow roots.
Hedgehog cactus
Adaptation:
This plant thrives in
dry rocky soil.
3 Plant Examples
Three examples of
animals in the Desert
are:
The Earth Worm
Adaptation:
When decomposing
they help significantly
with the soil nutrients.
Rattlesnake
Adaptation:
Rattllesnakes inject
venom into their prey
or if they get the
feeling of being
attacked.
The average
temperature for the
desert is 40 C to
103F.The highest in all
deserts is 134F,and
the lowest is about
-128. The average
desert biome receives
about 15 cm of rain
fall annually. Some
deserts have very high
air pressure, because
of there heat.
Some main affects
from humans are off
roading, which leaves
a scar on the ground
and it hurts
vegetation very much.
Camel
Adaptation:
One of many
adaptations of for a
camel but camels
have long eye lashes
to block the sand from
getting into them.

Grasslands Savanna
Three examples of
plants in the Savanna
are:
Candelabra tree
Adaptation:
Poisionous sap comes
off the tree that can
blind you, and cause
blistering, so it grows
with no animals
feeding on it.
Baobab tree
Adaptation:
The spread out
branches/trunks help
collect water, and it is
stored in there for
about 9 months.
Kangaroo paws
Adaptation:
Little tiny hairs in the
flower make it taste
weird to predators, so
they don’t eat that
plant.
Three examples of
Grassland Prairie
animals are:
Masai Giraffe
Adaptation:
They have long necks
to drink and get food
rom high places.
Zebra
Adaptation:
Their strips confuse
predators so they
don’t know were a
zebra exactly is.
African Lion
Adaptation:
They use their trunks
to get food and carry
water around if
needed.
The temperature in
the Savanna
grasslands can range
from 40F to 80F, this
goes for all the 4
seasons. Most of the
precipitation comes in
the summer because
of the cool air from
winter colliding with
the new warm air,
creating a daily rain
fall. But all together
there is 20-50 in. of
rain fall on average.
The Savanna
Grassland has
influenced the
Humans to grow crops
and vegetate. Same as
the Prairies human
influence.
The tree growth is
going down because
of all the cutting
timber.
The Savanna is located
in the upper part of
Africa but stretched
from west to east. It is
all spread out
underneath that all
over the southern part
of Africa.

Grasslands Prairies
Three examples of
plants in the Prairies
are:
Switch Grass
Adaptation:
Its big roots help the
grass to stay in during
big storms.
Broom Sedge
Adaptation:
When it rains they
grow a little bit and
the sunlight makes it
strong,it thrives and
seperates so it makes
more grass.
Blue Grama Grass
Adaptation:
This grass has long
and strong root to
stay ing and re grow if
consumed.
3 Plant Examples
Three examples of
animals in the Prairie
grasslands are:
Red Fox
Adaptation:
They good legs for
speed, and good ears
to listen for prey.
Prairie Dog
Adaptation:
The Dogs make
underground
labyrinths which they
live in and also go
when alarmed of
danger.
The lowest the
Prairies can get down
to -40 degrees
Fahrenheit, and can
reach up to 113
degrees fahrenhiet.
The average rain fall in
the Prairies is 10-30
inches per year. The
temperature is cold in
the winter and hot in
the summer.
Humans have
influenced the Praire
Grasslands by taking
over the land with
farming fields and
starting wild fires that
spread quickly
through the grass and
damage the soil.
The grassland Prairies
are found in the
middle of North
America. And is
spread out all over
South America, Africa
and Asia.

Taiga
Three examples of
plants in the Taiga
are:
Fern
Adaptation:
The Fern don’t need
lots of sun light so
they thrive in the
darkness of the Taiga
floor
Fire weed & Blue
Aster
Adaptation:
Both wild flowers can
be covered under
snow and still survive
the short summers.
Three examples of
animals in the Taiga
are:
Sea Otter
Adaptation:
They can swim fast to

predators and to
catch their meal.
Brown Bear
Adaptation:
Brown Bears must dig
dens for their newly
arriving cubs in the
spring.
Moose
Adaptation:
Hollow hooves to dig
snow and hind under
plants in the winter.
The lowest
temperature in the
Taiga is -65 F, the
Highest is on average
70 F, this contributes
with all seasons.
The Taiga is mostly
cold because its
distance from the
equator. The Taiga’s
rainfall is an average
of 30 inches per year.
The humans are
hunting down the
Taigas animals and
inhabitants, also the
issue of cutting down
the forestry.
The Taiga is found in
Russia and Canada
also in various areas
of North America and
Eurasia.
