ARCTIC TUNDRA BIOME
The tundra is near the North Pole. Trees do not grow there. Winters are very cold. Summers last for a very short
time. It is frozen and never melts.

CONIFEROUS FOREST BIOME
![Page 8: world biomes - animals and plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55552135b4c905b9318b53f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CONIFEROUS FOREST BIOME
Summers are short and mild and the winters are long, cold and dry.
Plants are mostly evergreen conifers with leaves like needles, such as pine, fir and spruce.
Soil is thin and lacking in nutrients.

DECIDUOUS FOREST BIOME
The leaves change color before they fall.
Deciduous trees lose their leaves in autumn.
The fallen leaves are good for the soil. In spring, new leaves grow and the
forest is green again. The leaves are wide to catch more
sunshine.

DESERT BIOME
A desert can be very hot in daytime and cold at night (no rainfall at all.)
Some deserts are cold all the time. Desert plants need special ways of getting
water; their leaves and roots are special. Desert animals have special ways to
survive. Many shelter underground. Some animals are active at night when it’s cool.

GRASSLAND BIOME
Grasses are the main kind of plant in grasslands.
There are not many trees in grasslands. Some grasslands are hot all year round.
Some grassland areas have hot summers and very cold winters.
Grasslands are big open areas that get between 25 and 75 cm of rain per year. This is less rain than a forest gets and more than a desert gets.

A tropical grassland with some clumps of trees.
It is characterized by its specific wet (summer) and dry (long winter) seasons.

They are forests that get at least 250 cm a year of rain, often more.
It has a lot of rain (high rainfall throughout the year.)
