Across
- 1. Found below the tundra, this biome features short growing seasons and is populated by large, sturdy, cold-resistant trees like pine and spruce. Also known as: Coniferous or Boreal Forest
- 5. Also known as a seasonal forest, this biome experiences four distinct seasons and is quite productive for most of the year, supporting grasses, trees, and shrubs.
- 6. This biome features a short growing season and is too cold and dry for trees to grow, containing permanently frozen soil known as permafrost which hinders plant growth.
Down
- 1. This highly diverse and stable biome is the most productive and biodiverse, though its soil is nutrient-poor due to rapid plant growth depleting the soil.
- 2. This windy biome experiences favorable temperatures but lacks enough precipitation to support trees, resulting in an environment where only deep-rooted grasses can grow.
- 3. Characterized by daily fluctuating temperatures with warm days and cold nights, this biome contains the lowest naturally occurring freshwater deposits and supports only drought-resistant plants like succulents and cacti.
- 4. This biome is highly productive during the wet season, contains grasses with some clusters of trees, experiences common wildfires, and supports organisms that migrate and graze. Also known as a Coniferous or Boreal Forest)
