  • Cold, low precipitation.

  • Permafrost, low vegetation (moss, lichen).

  • Short growing season.

2
New cards

Boreal Forest (Taiga)

  • Cold, wetter than tundra.

  • Coniferous trees (pine, spruce).

  • Slow decomposition → nutrient-poor soil.

3
New cards

Temperate Rainforest

  • Mild temps, very high precipitation.

  • Coastal, dense conifers.

  • High productivity, rapid plant growth.

4
New cards

Temperate Seasonal (Deciduous) Forest

  • Warm summers, cold winters, moderate rainfall.

  • Deciduous trees (oak, maple).

  • Fertile soil, high productivity.

5
New cards

Woodland/Shrubland (Chaparral)

  • Hot, dry summers; mild, wet winters.

  • Drought-resistant shrubs, wildfires common.

6
New cards

Temperate Grassland (Prairie/Steppe)

  • Cold winters, hot summers, low–moderate precipitation.

  • Grasses dominate, fertile soil.

  • Frequent fires.

7
New cards

Tropical Rainforest

  • Warm, high precipitation year-round.

  • Highest biodiversity.

  • Nutrient-poor soil (fast decomposition + uptake).

8
New cards

Tropical Seasonal Forest/Savanna

  • Warm, distinct wet/dry seasons.

  • Grasses + scattered trees.

  • Grazing and fire shape ecosystem.

9
New cards

Subtropical Desert

  • Hot, very low precipitation.

  • Cacti, succulents, drought-resistant shrubs.

  • Adapted animals (nocturnal, water-conserving).
