Let’s join our animal friends around the world and explore all the Earth’s Biomes from the tallest
mountains to the deepest depths of the sea.
![Page 2: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Aquatic Biomes Lakes
This is any standing body of water and can range from tiny ponds to much larger lakes.
The temperature ranges due to the decrease in light with the increase in depth.
Some common organisms found in lakes are: -Photosynthetic which means they need sunlight to make their own food.
Examples: Rooted and aquatic floating plants
-Other organisms are called heterotrophs which cannot make their own food and rely on eating other substances.
Examples: simpler organisms like Zoey zooplankton and her friends, various invertebrates and fish.

Lakes
Boy do I like to float on the surface where it’s all warm and bright.
Oh yea, we can lay back and eat as much phytoplankton as we want. You know we also eat other zoo plankton. ..
Uh -oh

Aquatic Biomes Wetlands Any inundated areas which are areas saturated with
water at least some of the time.
3 kinds: Basin wetlands-in shallow basins
Riverine wetlands- along shallow streams & rivers
Fringe wetlands- along coasts of big lakes and/or seas
Organisms Photosynthetic- plants like cattails that can grow in water and in soil
Heterotrophs- invertebrates, birds, herbivores (plant eaters) & carnivores (meat eaters) like Alfred the alligator.

Wetlands
Mmmmthose birds sure do look delicious

Aquatic Biomes Streams and Rivers
Bodies of water with a current River bottoms are coated with sediments
Organisms Photosynthetic- in some warmer climates like the desert and savanna, the
headwaters have many aquatic rooted plants and phytoplankton
Heterotrophs-fish and invertebrates like Tina the trout
![Page 7: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Streams and RiversI can’t wait to jump in that water!
![Page 8: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Aquatic Biomes Estuaries &Intertidal zones Estuaries-The area that
transitions between the rivers and seas and can be salt and/or fresh water.
Organisms
Photosynthetic- grasses, algae, and phytoplankton.
Heterotrophs- invertebrates, fish, worms, and crustaceans (like cliff the crab!) etc.
Intertidal zones- when a shore is under water part of the time and exposed to the air for the rest.
May be rocky or sandy
Organisms
Photosynthetic-marine algae and sea grass
Heterotrophs- organisms that attach to rocks or burrow such as sea sponges, crustaceans, worms and small fish.

Estuaries & Intertidal ZonesIntertidal Zones
EstuariesI can live in both of these places, but my favorite is the intertidal zones! I just love to burrow!
![Page 10: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Aquatic Biomes Ocean Pelagic & Coral Reefs Ocean Pelagic means a huge
body of open water.
Organisms
Photosynthetic- phytoplankton, photosynthetic bacteria
Heterotrophs- zooplankton, protists, small invertebrates, and fish as well as squids, fish and marine mammals (like Wallace the Dolphin).
Coral Reefs are actually skeletons of coral found near islands, or along the coasts of
continents. Organisms
Photosynthetic- unicellular, red, and green algae
Heterotrophs- coral, fish like Carl the Clownfish, and invertebrates.

Ocean Pelagic & Coral Reefs Ocean Pelagic
Yikes a shark!
Hey did you know the ocean covers 70 percent of the world!?
Coral Reefs

Terrestrial Biomes Tropical Rainforest
Precipitation- A lot of rainfall (about 200-400cm on average).
Temperature- Hot and humid all year round
Plants- Characterized by canopy trees with many layers, shrubs, and broadleaf trees.
Animals- huge variety of biodiversity including amphibians, birds, reptiles, mammals, insects, spiders, etc. This is the home of amphibian, Trudy the Tree Frog.
![Page 14: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Terrestrial Biomes Desert Precipitation- low (less than 30
cm per year)
Temperature- varies between seasons and day and night
Very cold at night and scorching during the day.
50 degrees Celsius to negative 30 degrees Celsius
Animals
Snakes, lizards, beetles (like Bernie), birds, and rodents.
Plants
Scattered with small vegetation, and succulents (like cacti)
It may look boring, but just wait until nighttime. All the critters come out and play because most of us are nocturnal.
![Page 15: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Terrestrial Biomes Savanna & Temperate Grasslands Savanna Precipitation- seasonal rains and
periodic droughts
Temperature- generally warm (24-29 degrees Celsius)
Plants
Scattered trees and grasses
Adapted to dryness and fires
Animals
Large Herbivores (like Billy Bison) and antelope
Predators (lions and hyenas)
Insects
Grasslands Precipitation- seasonal (dry winters
and wet summers)
Temperatures- ranges with cold winters and hot summers.
Plants
Grasses and forbs (also fire and drought resistant)
Animals Large grazers (bison and wild
horses) and burrowing mammals.
Hey there! I’m Billy Bison and I can’t wait to show you my homes!

Savanna and Temperate Grassland
Savanna
Temperate grassland
Of course both of these biomes are very similar and both have yummy grasses for me to munch on.
![Page 17: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Terrestrial Biomes Coniferous & Temperate forests North Coniferous Forests Temperature- Cold, long winters and hot
summers
Precipitation- 30 to 70 cm with occasional droughts
Plants
Cone-bearing trees (conifers)
Examples: Spruce and pine trees
Animals
Large mammals such as bears and moose like Morty!
They also have migratory birds
Temperate Forests Like what we have here in Michigan
Precipitation is constant through all seasons
Temperature- winters are cold and summers are hot ranging from 0-30 degrees Celsius.
Plants
Distinct layers like the rainforest (canopy, understory, and shrubs)
Deciduous trees like Oak and Maple.
Animals
Mammals that hibernate like bears and birds that migrate and fly south for the winter.

Coniferous and Temperate ForestsTemperate forest
Coniferous Forests
Marty says: I prefer the coniferous forests, but when the fall rolls around in temperate forests those trees are bea-u-t-ful.
![Page 19: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Terrestrial Biomes Tundra Precipitation is generally only 20-60 cm annually
Temperature- The winters are long and cold followed by short cooler summers.
Animals
Large grazing animals like oxen, caribou, and reindeer
Predators like wolves and foxes much like Ferdinand
Migratory birds
Plants
Mosses, grasses, forbs, lichens
![Page 20: The biosphere](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a97dec1a28ab99668b4700/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tundra
The tundra can be beautiful and flowering, but it can also be covered in snow! In the winter my coat even changes color so that I can blend into my surroundings and hide from predators.
