| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tropical rain forest | hot and wet year round organic matter falls to forest, floor quickly decomposes. Canopy (dense covering of tops of trees 50-80m above floor) unsory (2nd layer of shorter trees/vines |
| Tropical Dry Forest | generally warm year-round, alternating wet/dry season dense canopy during wet season, deciduous trees drop their leaves during dry season to conserve water, which soils subject to farm |
| Tropical Savannah | seasonal rainfalls, warm temp compact soil, spotted w/ isolated trees/shrubs, frequent fires, action of large animals prevent turning into dry forest |
| Desert | cold nights, very hot days, very little precipitation little vegetation sand, compacted soil |
| Temperate Grassland | warm hot summers, cold winters, moderate precip fertile soil, occasional |
| temperate woodland/shrubland | hot &dry summers, cold & most winters open plan w/ shrubs and trees |
| Temperate Forest | cold to moderate winters, warm summers, year-round precip, temp never below 0C fertile soils |
| Northwestern Coniferous Forest (Temp. Rainforest) | mild temps, abundant precipitation fall winter sping, relatively cold dry summer rock & acidic soils |
| Borreal Forest (Taiga) | long cold winters, short mild summers, moderate precip, high humidity acidic poor-nutrient soils, dense evergreen forest of conifers |
| Tundra | short cool summers cold temps, high winds, short growing season, low precip, short soggy summers, long cold dark winters poorly developed soils, permafrost (frozen subsoil), short growing season |
| Flowing-Water | depends on latitude and terrestrial biom rivers, streams, brooks |
| standing-water | most areas, wherever water can collect habitat for many organisms lake & ponds. sometimes has circulated water |
| estuaries | rainy create more organic material forests of the same size provide habitats for over 75% of fish that are bought and are sold in US |
| mangrove swamps | generally warm coastal wetlands widespread across tropical regions |
| intertidal zone | apox 3x/day underwater, other times of day exposed to air |
| coral reef | warm water underwater, named for the coral animals whose hard calcium carbonate skeletons make up their primary structure |
| coastal ocean | range of climate (hot-cold), usually temperate usually a lot of kelp and seaweed |
| open ocean | frigid temp the ocean ranges from 500-1100 meters in depth, is the largest marine zone |
| benthic ocean | very cold, bottom of deep sea floor, no sunlight ocean floor, decaying matter (detritus), hydrothermal vents |
