Solution
Land Biomes
These are the 8 different land biomes in order from coldest to warmest
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. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by
biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation. It is also the driest biome next to
the desert.
Characteristics of tundra include:
Extremely cold climate
Low biotic diversity
Simple vegetation structure
Limitation of drainage
Short season of growth and reproduction
Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material
Large population oscillations
Coniferous Forest (also known as Taiga)
The Coniferous Forest is a forest of Conifers (too much to handle, isn\'t it?). A Conifer is a tree
that produces its seeds in cones. The Pine tree is the most common example. Conifer leaves
conserve water with the thick, waxy layer that covers their leaves, also known as needles. The
vegitation in the Coniferous forest is small in size, but large enough to feed the vast herbivore
population. Most of these animals survive the brutal winters by migrating or hibernating.
Average Annual Rainfall- 14-29.5 in.
Average Temperatures in the Summer- 57.2°F
Average Temperatures in the Winter- 14°F
Deciduous Forest (also known as temperate forest)
Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe.
There are many deciduous forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest
Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of deciduous forests in
southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are deciduous forests located in New
Zealand, and southeastern Australia also.

Temperate forests and tropical rain forestsAlen Shaji
The word forest is derived from Latin ‘Foris’ meaning outside, the reference being to village boundary fence, and must have included all uncultivated and uninhabitated land.
Today a forest is any land managed for the diverse purposes of forestry whether covered with trees, shrubs, climbers, etc.
The forest biomes include a complex assemblage of different kinds of biotic communities.
Optimum conditions of temperature and ground moisture responsible for the growth of trees contribute greatly to the establishment of forest communities.
In addition, 50 mm rainfall is a pre-requisite for the trees.
The nature of soil, wind and air currents determines the distribution (abundance or sparseness) of forest vegetation.
The temperate forest biomes are characterized by a moderate climate and broad-leaved deciduous trees, which shed their
leaves in fall, are bare over winter and grow new foliage in the spring.
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.
Tropical Montane Cloud Forest (FMCF) also called High Altitude Tropical Forest or simple Cloud Forest or Fog Forest or Mossy Forest, is characterized by a persistent or seasonal low-level of cloud cover or wind-driven clouds.
2. Description of Rainforest Biome
• A tropical rainforest is a type of biome found in hot, humid
environments in equatorial climates,The tropical rainforest is a
unique with a constant temperature and a high rainfall.
The temperature is warm because of it bring close to the
equator. Also the average temperature is about 25 degrees
celsius.
Words to describe it are: Dark, Damp, Humid, Lively,
Populated, Green, Vegetated, Amazing, and Beautiful.
3. Climate
• Rain forests belong to
the tropical wet climate
group. The temperature
in a rain forest rarely gets
higher than 93 °F (34 °C)
or drops below 68 °F (20
°C); average humidity is
between 77 and 88%;
rainfall is often more than
100 inches a year. There
is usually a brief season
of less rain. In monsoonal
areas, there is a real dry
season. Almost all rain
forests lie near the
equator

6. Topographical
Features
• Topography of an area refers to the
shape of the land and the features within
the area. The topography of a rainforest
varies depending on which rainforest is in
question and where in the rainforest you
are visiting.However, the general
topography of a rainforest includes steep
areas with hills and low areas like valleys.
It can include creeks and streams quite
often and most of the time it has these
features. It also has a sloping range in
particular areas.The structure often
involves a range of different heights and
different levels. Starting from the leaf litter
and mosses at the bottom, moving up to
ground cover plants, ferns and low level
trees, and stretching right up to taller
trees, with epiphytes and vines
connected, the structure and overall
topography of a rainforest is rich, diverse
and very varied.
7. Emergent Layer These giant trees thrust above the dense
canopy layer and have huge mushroom-
shaped crowns. These trees enjoy the greatest
amount of sunlight but also must endure high
temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds.
8. The broad, irregular crowns of these trees form a tight,
continuous canopy 60 to 90 feet above the ground. The
Canopy Layer
branches are often densely covered with other plants
(epiphytes) and tied together with vines (lianas). The canopy
is home to 90% of the organisms found in the rain forest;
many seeking the brighter light in the treetops.
9. Receiving only 2-15% of the sunlight that falls on the
canopy, the understory is a dark place. It is relatively
open and contains young trees and leafy herbaceous
Understory Layer plants that tolerate low light. Many popular house
plants come from this layer. Only along rivers and
roadways and in treefall and cut areas is sunlight
sufficient to allow growth to become thick and
impenetrable
10. The forest floor receives less than 2% of the
sunlight and consequently, little grows here
except plants adapted to very low light. On the
Forest Floors floor is a thin layer of fallen leaves, seeds,
fruits, and branches that very quickly
decomposes. Only a thin layer of decaying
organic matter is found, unlike in temperate
11. Insolation in the
Tropical Rainforest
• The tropical rainforest is
earth’s most complex biome
in terms of both structure and
species diversity. It occurs
under optimal growing
conditions: abundant
precipitation and year round
warmth. There is no annual
rhythm to the forest; rather
each species has evolved its
own flowering and fruiting
seasons. Sunlight is a major
limiting factor. A variety of
strategies have been
successful in the struggle to
reach light or to adapt to the
low intensity of light beneath
the canopy.
12. Frilled Lizard
• Chlamydosaurus (meaning
"caped lizard") is a rare,
modern-day frilled lizard native
to New Guinea and North
Australia. Its frill is a 7-14 inch
(18-34 cm) flap of skin that
completely circles its head. It
opens this brightly-colored frill
to frighten enemies. Adults are
over 8 inches (20 cm) long.
These climbing lizards live in
trees in humid forests and eat
cicadas, ants, spiders and
smaller lizards. It can run
quadrupedally (on all four legs)
and bipedally (with the front
legs off the ground). Adult
females lay 8 to 14 eggs per
clutch in spring and summer.
13. Toucan
• The toucan is about 20 inches
(50 cm) long. The toucan's
enormous bill is up to one-third
of its length. The bill is brightly
colored, light-weight, and
edged with toothed margins. It
has four toes on each foot;
two toes face forwards and
two face backwards. The legs
are short but strong. Males are
slightly larger than females, but
their coloration is similar.
Toucan eat mostly fruit, but
also eat bird eggs, insects, and
tree frogs. Toucans swallow
fruit whole and then
regurgitate the seeds; this
disperses viable (living) seeds
in the forest.
14. maroon pitchers that have lime-green mouths. This is an exceptional showpiece
for any lowland tropical collection. Nepenthes rafflesiana is a beautiful lowland tropical pitcher plant with
enormous, colorful pitchers and extremely prominent wings.
Nepenthes
Nepenthes rafflesiana are also well known for producing extremely
long tendrils between their leaves and pitchers. The 'Giant' form of
Nepenthes rafflesiana produces extremely large pitchers that can
reach over one foot in height, and originates from a single population
Rafflesiana in Brunei, Borneo. This particular cone has truly striking coloration,
with dark maroon pitchers that have lime-green mouths.
15. Orchids comprise one of the most abundant and varied of
flowering plant families. There are over 20,000 known species and
orchids are especially common in moist tropical regions. Although
Orchids temperate orchids usually grow in the soil, tropical orchids are
more often epiphytes which grow non-parasitically on trees.
Orchid flowers vary considerably in shape color and size,
although they share a common pattern of three petals and three
petal-like sepals. The lower petal has a very distinctive
appearance.
