The document defines and describes several biomes: tundra, taiga, temperate deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, grasslands, and deserts. Tundra is the coldest biome, with little precipitation and short growing seasons. Taiga forests are characterized by conifers like pine, spruce and larch. Temperate deciduous forests experience four distinct seasons and changing leaves. Tropical rainforests are hot and moist with year-round rain. Grasslands are dominated by a near-continuous grass cover. Deserts are large, dry areas with little water, rain, trees or plants.

to land or the planet Earth. TUNDRA Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT6x5GVPFG8 taigas Taiga, generally referred to in North America as a boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces, and larches. The taiga or boreal forest has been called the world's largest land biome. TEMPERATE DECIDUOUS FOREST The temperate deciduous forest is a biome that is always changing. It has four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. TROPICAL RAINFOREST The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long. tropical rain forest always appears green and therefore it is called an evergreen forest. GRASSLAND Grassland, area in which the vegetation is dominated by a nearly continuous cover of grasses. Grasslands occur in environments conducive to the growth of this plant cover but not to that of taller plants, particularly trees and shrubs. The factors preventing establishment of such taller, woody vegetation are varied. DESERTS A desert is a large area of land, usually in a hot region, where there is almost no water, rain, trees, or plants.
