  2. 6. A biome with hot temperatures, almost no rain. Some drought-resistant vegetation. Hottest of this type of Biome.
  3. 8. Waterlogged soils and specific types of plants adapted to wet conditions. Very productive and protect against floods and droughts.
  4. 10. The area that is underwater at some points of the day and exposed at other points. Can be rocky or sloping mud flats. Animals and plants that live in this zone must adapt to the extreme conditions caused by the daily fluctuations in water level.

  1. 1. An expansive biome dominated by grasses and flowering plants, few trees. Cold, harsh winters and hot, dry summers.
  2. 2. Vast, deep salt water with various zones and abundant marine life away from the shore. Light penetration determines life.
  3. 4. Types of standing freshwater, life determined by levels of light penetration.
  4. 5. Can be tropical and subtropical. Contains Salt-tolerant trees and shrubs, protect coastlines from erosion and storms.
  5. 7. A lush biome with high temperatures and abundant rainfall, lots of biodiversity.
  6. 8. An open area with trees and grasses, but less dense than a forest. Hot Summers, Mild, Wet winters. Adapted to fire and drought. Low nutrient soil. Known as shrubland.
  7. 9. This warm temperature biome has a wet season and a dry season, with less rainfall overall than a rainforest. Few trees, but shrubs and grasses common.
  8. 11. A biome with high rainfall and moderate temperatures, often found along coastlines and midlatitudes. Sequoias live here.
  9. 13. biome characterized by slow decomposition, cold temperatures, and shrubs instead of trees.
