Biomes Scientists have developed the term Biome to describe areas on the earth with similar climate, plants, and animals. These webpages were developed by approximately seventy 9th grade students at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon in 1997. This was an integrated Science, Literature, and Health project in periods 3, 4, and 5 (see links below). Information has been collected on the following biomes: Marine Tundra Desert Savannah Grassland Tropical Rain Forest Deciduous Forest Coniferous Forest (Taiga) References Return to Index Instructors of courses: Literature: Inez Paulson ipaulson@sps.lane.edu Science: Bob Green bgreen@sps.lane.edu Health: Bill Duffy wduffy@sps.lane.edu Thurston High School , Springfield, Oregon

Tropical Rainforest Biome Animals of the Tropical Rainforest Tropical Rainforest Vegetation Location and Climate of the Tropical Rainforest Tropical rainforests cover about 6% of the Earth's total land surface. They are mainly located around the belt at the equator. The climate of the rainforest is warm most of the year and has a lot of rain through most of the year. The climate is perfect for animals and plant growth. Even though the rainforests cover such a little amount of land mass of the Earth, they are home to the largest number of plant and animal species in such a concentrated area. Scientists believe that the tropical rainforests of the world might hold up to ninety percent of the plant and animal species on earth. The Amazon drains the world's largest tropical rainforest, and is thought to have about 3000 species of fish, more than are contained in the entire North Atlantic. It is estimated that a typical patch of rainforest just six kilometers square contains as many as 1500 species of flowering plants, 750 species of tree, 400 species of bird, 150 species of butterfly, 100 species of reptile, and 60 species of amphibian. There are so many insects that they can only be guessed at, but one-hectacre (2.5 acres) may contain as many as 42,000 species. Climate and Location Tropical rainforests cover about 6% of the Earth's total land surface area. They are mainly located around the belt at the equator, in the Amazon basin in South America, the Congo basin and other lowland regions in Africa, and they are both on the mainland and the islands off of Southeast Asia. They are especially abundant on Sumatra and New Guinea. Small areas are also found in Central America and along the Queensland coast of Australia.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a different part of the world? What would the weather be like? What kinds of animals would you see? Which plants live there? By investigating these questions, you are learning about biomes. A biome is a community of plants and animals living together in a certain kind of climate. Scientists have classified regions of the world into different biomes. Here you can explore coniferous forests temperate deciduous forests deserts grasslands ... shrublands , and tundras Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to investigate biomes, then test your knowledge about the biomes by completing each mission.

Tundra Deciduous Forest Savanna Taiga ... Alpine Desert-scrub What is a Biome? A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. The climate and geography of a region determines what type of biome can exist in that region. Major biomes include deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra, and several types of aquatic environments. Each biome consists of many ecosystems whose communities have adapted to the small differences in climate and the environment inside the biome. All living things are closely related to their environment. Any change in one part of an environment, like an increase or decrease of a species of animal or plant, causes a ripple effect of change in through other parts of the environment. The earth includes a huge variety of living things, from complex plants and animals to very simple, one-celled organisms. But large or small, simple or complex, no organism lives alone. Each depends in some way on other living and nonliving things in its surroundings.
