Aquatic Biomes• Freshwater: low salt concentration • Ponds and Lakes: range in size, limited
species• Streams and Rivers: bodies of flowing
water moving in one direction • Wetlands: highly diverse in species, salt
marshes are wetlands but they are not a freshwater region

Marine Biomes• Oceans
o Intertidal: ocean meets lando Pelagic: open ocean away from lando Benthic: below pelagic zoneo Abyssal: the deepest parts of the ocean
• Coral Reefs: warm, clear, shallow waters near coastlines

Deserts • Dry areas where
evaporation usually exceeds precipitation
• Hot deserts: hot in the summer, seasonal rainfall
• Cold deserts: cold winters low year round precipitation
• Semiarid deserts: transition between deserts and grassland

Grassland • Moderate rainfall is
sufficient for the growth of grass
• Tropical grasslands (savannas): warm climates, scattered trees
• Temperate grasslands (prairies): short grass, treeless

Forests • Tropical: warm, wet, lower latitudes,
precipitation is high, high biodiversity • Temperate: mid latitudes, summers are
warm and winters are cold• Boreal (taiga): higher latitudes, long cold
winters, short summers

Tundra• Low vegetation,
precipitation, biodiversity
• Artic: polar regions, short summer growing season.
• Alpine: high elevation, longer summers

Quiz • How many different types of biomes
are there?• What is intertidal? Give an example.• What is the difference between
savannas and prairies?
