A Temperate Deciduous Forest is one of many biomes in the world. The biome has its own set of location‚ climate‚ and type of wildlife.The Temperate Deciduous Forest is found in almost every continent on the earth. Its climate is in the temperature range‚ hence its name. But the wildlife is unique in its own way in this biome. Temperate Deciduous Forest is found in all of the continents except Africa and Antarctica. It covers almost 50% of the United States is covered by the Temperate Deciduous Forest

(Map #1). California itself has five major biomes‚ some of which can be found at RSABG. Four of them are in the California floristic province and the fifth is in both the Great Basin and the Sonoran floristic province. Each of which contains many different types of communities in them. The California floristic province has the coniferous forest biome‚ the oak woodland biome‚ the grassland and marshland biome‚ and the chaparral and coastal sage scrub biome. The Great Basin and Sonoran floristic province

Abyssal Zone Steven Jevan 10.2 Located deeper than 2000 meters underneath the ocean surface‚ lies a biome that we have barely seen and realize. This unbelievable and incredible biome is called the abyssal zone. With a depth reaching down to 6000 meters‚ it is impossible to inhabit this biome. Conversely‚ certain organisms have managed to keep their survival in this very biome through particular processes. Initially‚ the abyssal zone and the living organisms inside it‚ suffers

Biomes Comparison Essay Ecologists group earth’s diverse environments into biomes. A biome is a complex of terrestrial communities that develops a large area and is characterized by certain soil climate conditions and particular assemblages of plants and animals. Not all species live in every biome they vary in their adaptations to different conditions. An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce. These sorts of variations in plants

Succession often leads to a faily stable collection of organisms called a climax community. Land Biomes A biome is an environment that has a charcteristic climax community. The Earth is made up of two main biomes: land biomes and aquatic biomes. The major biomes are the tundra‚ taiga‚ temperate decidous forest‚ grassland‚ tropical rainforest‚ and desert. Tundra Tundras are the northermost biomes. They have nearly no tress and are covered

Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome Geographical Location The geographical locations of temperate deciduous forest biomes are in the eastern part of the United States and Canada‚ most of Europe‚ parts of China‚ and Japan. They are located between the polar regions and the tropics. Climate Conditions The weather of the temperate deciduous forest biome has four distinct changing seasons of winter‚ spring‚ summer‚ and fall. The seasons occur here because of the Earth’s tilt on its axis which allows
