This document describes the climate regions of Russia. It discusses the tundra, taiga, steppe, and mixed forest biomes. The tundra has a very short growing season, cold winters, and is mostly flat land. The taiga has long cold winters and short warm summers, and is forested with coniferous trees. The steppe is very hot and dry with grasslands and some rivers. The mixed forest is hilly with deciduous and coniferous trees and experiences four distinct seasons.
The Cloud Forest - A Walk in a Tropical ForestJerry Daperro
Recently, we were fortunate to visit one of these virgin Cloud forest in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Most of the photos for Powerpoint were taken during our visit. The climate there is so wet that most of the surfaces were covered with mosses. The places is dripping with water. One surprising thing was that because it is so high up there were no mosquitoes and I did not see any insects either. There were nothing crawling about. But the experience is really worthwhile. They built a walkway for the visitors, so we are always above the forest floor. It also allowed us to walk amongst the ‘canopy’ of the forest.
One cannot but impressed with the diversity of plant life there. On a single tree trunk can harbour many species of plants. It is a profusion of plant life, rather chaotic, tangled and overwhelming.

Points on biomes,habitat,ecotone and their differentations.
also on terrestrial ,wetland,fresh water,marine habitat and their types .Explained much with pictures..so easy to remember and to take class .Hope this may help....
The power point is prepared for Vietnamese students in grade 11 to learn and get more knowledge about natural lessons related to two types in five main ecosystems.
2. TUNDRA PLANTS AND
ANIMALS
• Plants include
fungus of grasses
and shrubs.The
moose is the largest
member of the
moose family.
3. Tundra plants and animals
• Plants grow low to
the ground. Hairs
have very long hind
legs and long ears.
Linches grow their
animals. Plants
come out in the
summer
4. TUNDRA LAND FORMS
• Growing season is
usually 6 to 10 weeks.
In summer the hard soil
thaws out. The Tundra
covers most of the
northern part of Russia.
The Tundra is close to
the North Pole. There
are not many trees in
the Tundra. Most of the
land is flat. There are
mountains in some
places of the tundra.
5. TUNDRAS CLIMATE
• Winters are long and
summers are short in
the Tundra. The tundra
is the coldest place in
Russia. There are 1,000
to 4,000 above the sea
level. There are four
seasons, the main ones
is are winter and
summer. The tundra
has more wind than
snow.
8. Long , cold winters and short ,
warm summers go by quickly.
The chilly bitter cold weather
causes forced wind to go by in
the taiga.
9. TAIGA’S PLANTS AND
ANIMALS
• Trees like spruce,
hemlock, pine, and fir
trees are fond in the
Taiga’s forest’s. Trees
in the taiga are cone
shape so snow will slide
off and so the the
branches on the trees
don’t fall off. Many
animals live in the taiga
because it has many
plants to eat and trees
to live in.
10. TAIGAS LAND FORMS
• The Taigas land
form is very grassy
and has many
mountains called the
Ural mountains.
There are a few
small lakes and
three rivers called
the Ob, Lena, volga
rivers.
11. STEPPE PLANTS AND
ANIMALS
• There are many • The animals live in
plants and grasses the trees and swim
in the steppe even and bath in the
though the soil is rivers
very poor. There are
many animals
including bears,
birds, and some fish
that live in the rivers.
12. Steppe land forms
• The land forms are
very flat and there
are a lot of big open
fields. The grass
turns yellow
because it is so hot
there.
13.
14. Mixed Forest Plants &
Animals
• There are lots of trees in the Mixed
Forest. Animal include cardinals, snowy
owls, and woodpeckers and white tailed
deer,raccoons. It is also very grassy
15. MIXED FOREST LAND
FORMS
• It is very hilly but
also flat. No other
climate can pass the
tree line in the mixed
forest or else… …
… history will be
made!
16. MIXED FORESTS CLIMATE
• The mixed forest is a little colder than
New England. There are 4 main
seasons which are Winter Fall Summer
& Spring. The main temp. Is 46
degrees.
17. STEPPE CLIMATE
• The steppe is a very warm place and the main
seasons are winter, summer, and fall. Also
sometimes the Steppe is over 100 degrees!
There also sometimes fires in the steppe even
though the trees stay alive they still stop
growing.
