BIOMES OF THE WORLD
Forest
Longevity of plants.
Dominance of trees.
Precise spatial structures with three main layers.
Very high annual rainfall.
Wet Climates.
Grassland
Semi-arid climate.
Rainfall and soils insufficient to support significant tree growth.
Grasslands are often exploited for agricultural use.
Most common at mid-latitudes and near the interiors of continents.
Vegetation structure that is dominated by grasses.
Savanna
Fires
Warm temperatures.
Moderate rainfall.
Coarse grasses and diverse animals.
Seasonal droughts.
Tundra
Low biotic diversity.
Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material.
Short season of growth and reproduction.
Extremely cold climate.
Simple vegetation structure.
Desert
Extreme temperatures.
High wind velocity.
Absence of water vapor in air.
Sparsity of cloud cover.
Arid environment.
