Biome of the World, Taiga - Coggle Diagram
Biome of the World
Climate
The climate of the tropical rainforest biome is hot and wet all year round. The average temperature hovers around 21–30°C (70–85°F),
Plants
Most trees in tropical rainforests have thin, smooth bark, which makes it difficult for other plants, such as epiphytes, to grow on their surface.
Location
Tropical rainforests cover roughly 6 percent of the Earth’s land surface and are generally located around the world, between 30°N and 30°S.
climate
The taiga biome can be colder as well as warmer and wetter than tundra. Generally, taiga forests experience long
Polar Ice Cap Biome
Location
The two main areas with ice cap climates are Greenland and Antarctica, both of which have vast deserts of snow and ice.
Deciduous Trees
Deciduous trees, the dominant trees in temperate woodlands, have leaves rather than pine needles, and they change with the seasons.

Climate
The climate of the temperate broadleaf forest biome is characterized by plentiful all year-round rainfall (up to 1500mm, 60 inches, annually)
Climate
The ice cap climate is famous for its freezing polar conditions in which no mean monthly temperature exceeds 0 °C (32 °F).
Plants
Ice caps are usually covered by a permanent layer of ice and therefore have no trees, plants or shrubs to speak of, and very few flowering plants.

Location
The most famous example of the savanna biome is the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania, covering 30,000 sq km (12,000 sq miles) of land.
Climate
The Savanna climate is hot with only two seasons: a warm wet season (6–8 months) and a hot dry season (4–6 months).
Plants
Vegetation in the tropical savanna biome is dominated by grasses. Species include: star grass, Rhodes grass, red oats grass, lemon grass

Taiga
location
It is found in a band around the Northern Hemisphere sandwiched between the tundra in the north and either temperate grassland
Plants
The taiga has a low diversity of plant life. Conifers (cone-bearing evergreen trees with needles) are the most prevalent type of tree.
