11 Recall What is a Biome? A biome is a large region characterized by a specific climate, as well as specific plant and animal communities 11&

12 Temperate Deciduous Forests 12&

13 Temperate Deciduous Forests Temperate Deciduous Forests Temperate deciduous forests = characterized by trees with broad, flat leaves that drop seasonally. 13&

14 Temperate Deciduous Forests Generally located between 30 and 50 north latitudes Temperate Deciduous Forests Four seasons - Hot summers and cold winters & shorter growing season 14&

15 Temperate Deciduous Forests Decomposition occurs slowly due to low temperatures during winter Soil is more nutrient-rich Temperate Deciduous Forests Layers: forest canopy! understory! forest floor The forest floor receives light, so plants are able to grow 15&

16 Temperate Deciduous Forests Plant adaptations: Trees drop leaves in the fall due to reduced sunlight and presence of ice Seeds become dormant during the winter Temperate Deciduous Forests Animal adaptations: Birds nest in canopy and migrate during the winter Animals, such as bears, reduce activity or hibernate during winter 16&

17 Taiga Taiga 17&

18 Taiga Taiga = characterized by coniferous forests, long + cold winters, and low precipitation Taiga Conifers = trees with needle-like leaves and seeds that develop in cones 18&

19 Taiga Acidic soils reduce forest floor growth and decomposition rates Plant adaptations: Needle-like leaves and waxy coating reduce water loss Cone shape prevents snow build up Taiga 19&

20 Animal Adaptations: Birds migrate Hibernation Winter fur turns white for camouflage Taiga Pair-Share-Respond 1. Describe the climate of the temperate deciduous forest 2. Describe the climate of the taiga 3. Identify the three layers of the deciduous forest 4. Identify a plant or animal adaptation for a temperate deciduous forest biome 5.
