BIOMES OF THE WORLD
TUNDRA
Extremely cold climate
Low biotic diversity.
Simple vegetation structure.
Limitation of drainage.
Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material.
Short season of growth and reproduction.
Large population oscillations.
SAVANNA
DESERT
warm temperatures
moderate rainfall
seasonal droughts
coarse grasses
diverse animals.
Arid environment.
Extreme temperatures.
very high annual rainfall
high average temperatures
nutrient-poor soil
high levels of biodiversity (species richness).
Rainfall and soils insufficient to support significant tree growth.
Vegetation structure that is dominated by grasses.
Semi-arid climate.
High wind velocity.
RAIN FOREST
• Absence of water vapour in air.
Most common at mid-latitudes and near the interiors of continents.
Grasslands are often exploited for agricultural use
