Savanna Biome It occurs in regions that has a distinct wet/dry
climate category. Dry season in the winter and wet season in the
summer. Subtropical region. During dry season most plants die and most
animals migrate to find food. Temp. ranges from 68-86 degrees F Mainly in low latitudes (between 30°S-30°N)

Savanna Biome Precipitation is 15- 30 inches a year

Human Impact
Human impact: humans create savannas by burning the grasslands and cutting down trees in order to plant crops.
Big game hunting Poaching animals

Animals Animal adaptations: animals have adapted to great
variability in the food supply.•Africa - aardvark, African elephant, African wild cat, antelopes, buffalo, Cape hunting dog, caracal, cheetah, eland, gerenuk, giraffe, gnu, Grant's gazelle, hippopotamus, hyena, impala, jackal, kudu, leopard, lion,
•Australia - kangaroo, wallaby, pigeon, dove, parrot, finch, wombat
•South America - rodents (like the capybara), rhea, and deer.
•India - Asiatic water buffalo, Asian elephant, Indian rhinoceros, Indian wolf, tiger, savanna nightjar
•Myanmar-Thailand - Asian elephant, Asiatic Water buffalo, pygmy hog, tiger

Plants Plant adaptations: many plants have
developed adaptations that allow them to grow quickly when there is water. When the water is scares they turn brown to limit water loss
Type of plants: Baobab tree, sausage tree, Strangle fig, Wild date palm, Tooth brush tree, Umbrella tree, Elephant grass, and Bermuda grass.

Woodland: trees are spaced rather broadly apart because of soil moisture during the dry season is not sufficient to support a full tree cover.
Thorn-tree-tall-grass: trees are more widely scattered, and open grassland is more extensive than in the savanna woodlands

Tundra Biome This tundra is the coldest of all biomes Tree-less plane Little precipitation (less than 10 in.), poor
nutrients, and poor growing seasons Gets energy and nutrients from dead or
organic material Temps cold most of year, maybe short periods
warmer than 0°C (32°F) Mainly in high latitudes (60° - 80°N) and high
elevations

Human Impact Increase in Earth temp melts polar ice caps. Pollution for mining and drilling of oil has
polluted the natural resources. Nickel minds in Russia are so polluted plants around mine have died off.

Tundra Biomes Arctic: It is located in the areas around the
poles, the growing range is 50-60 days, the precipitation is 6-10 in., and where there is permafrost.
Alpine: It is located in the mountains at high latitudes where trees cannot grow. The growing season is 180 days in the summer.
