Match the following biomes to their descriptions. Deep, fertile soils with perennial grasses; populated by herd of large grazing animals; between poles and tropics. Little rain; sparse vegetation; most organisms active at night; hot sunny days, cold nights. Very high solar input; high biodiversity; high primary productivity; large rainfall amounts. Dry grassland with scattered trees; borders the tropics; seasonal rainfall. Cold, windswept and boggy; permafrost; few trees. 1. Temperate grassland 2. Tundra 3. Savanna 4. Tropical rainforest 5. Desert

Match each description to the appropriate biome. tropical savanna desert tropical rain forest taiga tundra has sparse vegetation and very cold temperatures located near the equator and contains trees that form dense canopy layers is very hot and dry, and has plants that need little water has cold winters, heavy snowfall and is dominated by conifers has warm temperatures and is dominated by grasses

Match the following biomes with their descriptions. Found in equatorial areas where the temperature is warm and the days are 11-12 hours long all year round. 6.6-13 feet of rain fall per year. A. Coniferous Forest B. Temperate Grassland C. Temperate Broadleaf Forest D. Desert E. Savanna F. Tundra G. Tropical Forest Areas of the Northern hemisphere with cone-bearing evergreen trees. Land dominated by grasses and scattered trees. Fire is an important factor. Growth of large trees throughout the mid-latitudes. The driest of all biomes characterized by low and unpredictable rainfall (about 12 inches) per year. This area is treeless except along rivers or streams. Relatively cold winter temperatures with 10-30 inches of rainfall per year are seen. Expansive areas between the taiga and polar ice. Permafrost, low temperatures, and high winds are responsible for the absence of trees and other tall plants. Found in equatorial areas where the temperature is warm and the days are 11-12 hours long all year round. 6.6-13 feet of rain fall per year.
Match each description on the left with the correct biome on the right. a. chaparral b. savanna c. taiga d. temperate broadleaf forest e. temperate grassland f. tropical rain forest g. arctic tundra North American plains
