Describe the general temperature and precipitation characteristics of the climate in regions of the tropical rainforest biome
Adi S.
Identify the biome that is best described by the characteristics listed in the table below. Biome clues Climate: Very little annual rainfall (less than ten inches per year). Temperatures exhibit daily fluctuations and extremes. Plant Adaptations: Many plants have leaves that are reduced to thorns to reduce water loss. Many plant stems and roots are adapted for water storage. Animal Adaptations: Many of the animals are small burrowers, and many of them are nocturnal. Many of the animals are light colored so as to blend in with the sandy environment and reflect the heat.
