    The document discusses biomes and the factors that determine them. It states that biomes can be classified according to their plant life because the plants that grow in an area determine what animals live there. It also explains that biomes are determined by biotic factors, such as plants and animals, and abiotic factors like temperature, rainfall, altitude, latitude, and others. Several specific biomes are listed such as tropical rainforests, temperate forests, taiga, savannas, temperate grasslands, chaparral, desert, and tundra. For each biome, the biotic and abiotic factors are discussed. The document also covers soils and how soil type is affected by bedrock and weathering.

    Ecosystems of the world are classified into classes called

    biomes.

    Major Land Biomes


    Classified according to their plant life because
    the plants that grow in an area determine what
    animals live there

    What determines
    Biomes??
    Biomes can be
    determined by biotic
    and abiotic factors.
    Biotic animals,
    plants
    Abiotic temperature,
    rainfall, altitude,
    latitude, etc.

    Tropical rain forests


    What are the biotic factors?
    What are the abiotic factors?

    Temperate forests
    Biotic factors?
    Abiotic factors?

    Taiga (Boreal Forest)


    Biotic factors?
    Abiotic factors?

    Savannas
    Biotic factors?
    Abiotic factors?

    Temperate grasslands
    Biotic factors?
    Abiotic factors?

    Chaparral (shrub land)


    Biotic factors?
    Abiotic factors?

    Desert
    Biotic factors?
    Abiotic factors?

    Tundra
    Biotic factors?
    Abiotic factors?

    Soils
    Soil type is affected by the type of
    bedrock upon which it sits as well as
    the amount of physical and chemical
    weathering that it undergoes.
    Soil changes over time
    Why do you think this is???

    NC Soil
    North Carolinas
    main soil type is
    Cecil
    Cecil is found
    above granitic
    rock
    Has a thick red
    subsoil

    In each biome:
    Plants and animals have adapted to
    specific environmental conditions.
    These conditions can be threatened by
    human activities.
