Recall
What is a Biome?
• A biome is a large region characterized by a specific climate, as well as specific plant and animal communities

Temperate Deciduous Forests
11/20/15&
13&
Temperate Deciduous Forests
Temperate Deciduous Forests • Temperate deciduous forests = characterized
by trees with broad, flat leaves that drop seasonally.
11/20/15&
14&
Temperate Deciduous Forests
• Generally located between 30° and 50° north latitudes
Temperate Deciduous Forests • Four seasons - Hot summers and cold
winters & shorter growing season
11/20/15&
15&
Temperate Deciduous Forests • Decomposition occurs slowly due to low
temperatures during winter • Soil is more nutrient-rich
Temperate Deciduous Forests • Layers: forest canopy ! understory ! forest floor • The forest floor
receives light, so plants are able to grow
11/20/15&
16&
Temperate Deciduous Forests • Plant adaptations: • Trees drop leaves in
the fall due to reduced sunlight and presence of ice • Seeds become
dormant during the winter
Temperate Deciduous Forests • Animal adaptations: • Birds nest in canopy
and migrate during the winter • Animals, such as
bears, reduce activity or hibernate during winter
11/20/15&

Taiga
Taiga
11/20/15&
18&
Taiga • Taiga = characterized by coniferous forests,
long + cold winters, and low precipitation
Taiga • Conifers = trees with needle-like leaves and
seeds that develop in cones
11/20/15&
19&
Taiga • Acidic soils reduce forest floor growth and
decomposition rates
Taiga • Plant adaptations: • Needle-like leaves
and waxy coating reduce water loss • Cone shape
prevents snow build up
11/20/15&
20&
Taiga • Animal
Adaptations: • Birds migrate • Hibernation • Winter fur turns
white for camouflage
Pair-Share-Respond 1. Describe the climate of the temperate
deciduous forest 2. Describe the climate of the taiga 3. Identify the three layers of the deciduous
forest 4. Identify a plant or animal adaptation for a
temperate deciduous forest biome 5. Identify a plant or animal adaptation for a
taiga biome
