Biomes of the world presentations prepared by Eso 1 students

1. Antarctic
Mateo Karnisauskis & Ignasi Argilès

2. LOCATION
look at the image
Less than 5% of Antarctica is free of ice;

3. Animals in the antarctica
A variety of animals live in Antarctica for at least part of the year, including
seals (...)
penguins
whales
south georgia pipits
albatrosses
antarctic petrels

4. Images of animals

Polar bear!

5. FLORA
There's grass too

6. ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS
Some species of Antarctic animals have been taken to the verge of extinction for economic
benefit. Others have been killed incidentally or disturbed, soils have been contaminated, untreated
sewage has been discharged into the sea and rubbish that will not decompose or break down for
hundreds of years has been left behind in even the remotest parts.
~Fishing is one problem :( ~Pollution
~Exploitation and exploration
~Tourism is another problem
~Mining and oil that's another problem
~And human impacts...

8. Arctic
Biomes

9. Description of the Arctic:
The Arctic is a very cold, windy, and often snowy biome located around the North Pole.

10. Location:
The Arctic is located in the North Pole, parallel to the Equator and 23 degrees 28 minutes from the North
Pole, that is, above about 75 degrees North Latitude).

11. Fauna:
Arctic fox: Arctic Tern:
Arctic Hare: Arctic Wolf:
Alaskan Malamute: Ermine:

12. Flora:
There is a little number of flora, but the most numerous plants are species of algae, moss, lichen and
mushroom. They grow horizontally.

13. Environment Problems
Polar bears are affected by decreasing sea ice
The global population of polar bears is predicted to decrease by 30% in
the next 45 years.
Arctic and surrounding seas produce more than 10% of global marine
fisheries catches by weight
The Arctic and surrounding seas also account for 5.3% of the world's
crustean catch by weight.

14. People who live there:

17. What is a Chaparral?
A Chaparral is a shrubby coastal area that has hot dry
summers and mild, cool, rainy winters. Chaparrals consist of
regions of tall, dense shrubs with leathery leaves or needles.

18. Where are Chaparrals located?
Chaparrals are located in bands between 30 and 40 degrees N and 30 and 40 degrees S of the equator.
These coastal regions have cold ocean currents offshore; they are coasts that face west.
They occur in the southern coast of California (USA), the coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea, the
coast of Chile (South America), the Cape region of South Africa, and coastal Australia.

19. Fauna
Most are animals and desert grassland types that can adapt to the hot and dry
weather.
Birds make their nests in the ground to protect themselves from the heat and
predators.
Furry animals have short fur that can change the length to suit the season or in
accordance with their environment.
Reptiles hunt at night to avoid the heat.

21. Flora
Plants must adapt to heat, little moisture, and poor soil. Plants have small, hard
leaves which hold moisture. Because brush fires are frequent, many plants are
small. Examples of plants: oak, scattered scrub, large shrubs, cacti.

PRAIRIE

24. LOCATION
Prairies are located in the interior of North America.

25. DESCRIPTION OF
THE BIOME
A prairie is a temperate grassland, plains of grass that get hot in the summer and
cold in the winter. ( 0 ° degrees to 40º degrees) .

26. FAUNA
Many types of animals live in the Prairies but
here are the most important. We have put them
here because they rather affect the food chain
and some of them are beautiful.

27. FLOR The grass is the dominant plant but also
there are other plants.

28. People who
live there
Indian tribes lived in the prairies which were
thrown to other places, and the first ranchers
were installed who took care of their lands to
have resources.
Today there are prairies which are empty of
people but there are others in which there are
farms, ranches and even towns

29. CURIOSITI
ES
Twenty-five
percent of the
Earth is
covered by
the prairie
biome.
Since prairies
biomes have
rich soil, much of
them are used
for farming.
There is only 2%
of the original
prairies left in
North America.
Prairies
biomes are
normally
situated
between a
forest and a
desert. In
fact, prairies
surround
every desert
in Asia.

31. SAVANNA
Cloe Balagué and Laia Santandreu

32. DESCRIPTION
The savanna is a hot, seasonally dry grassland with scattered trees. This
environment is intermediate between a grassland and a forest. Savannas have an
extended dry season and a rainy season.

33. LOCATION
There are located in Africa, Madagascar, Australia, South America, India, and the
Myanmar-Thailand region of Southeast Asia.

34. FAUNA

36. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT IT
➔ The global warming
➔ Agriculture
➔ Poaching
➔ Grazing
➔ Exotic plant species
➔ Climate change

37. PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE
Dogon tribe lives in majestic cliffs that rise in the Savanna. They live entirely apart
from the other tribes of the Republic of Mali.

39. TAIGA
Habi Siby, Mireia Arrebola

40. DESCRIPTION
A taiga, also called a boreal forest or northern coniferous forest, is a cold
woodland or forest.

41. LOCATION
This biome spans the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Taigas
are generally located south of tundras and north of temperate deciduous forests
and temperate grasslands.

42. FAUNA
Arctic fox
Arctic wolf
Deer
Fox

43. FLORA
In the taiga, grow mainly conifers, moss and lichens.
There are many types of trees, but most of them are pines.
·Willow
·Wild rose
·Paper birch...

44. IT IS ENDANGERED?
There are some endangered animals
and plants, this are some examples:
Animals: Siberian tiger, Peregrine
falcon, Snow leopard…
Plants: Labrador tea, Long leaf pine,
Lodgepole pine...

45. FEATURES
The taiga is characterized by a cold, harsh climate, a low rate of precipitation
(snow and rain), and short growing season.Taigas are relatively low in animal
diversity because of the harsh winters.

46. PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE
There are a few large cities in the southern parts of the taiga, such as Moscow
and Toronto, but most of it is relatively unpopulated. There are also a few native
communities of people who still live indigenously in the taiga.

50. Temperate forests are famous because of their leaves
in Autumn, their colors vary between red, orange,
yellow and brown.It usually rains a lot, and the soil is
very rich in nutrients because lots of little animals and
leaves fall on the floor and decompose

80. THE TUNDRA
By: Gabryela, Andrea and
Arantxa

81. Description of Tundra
● The tundra is a cold, treeless area; it is the coldest biome. The
tundra is characterized by very low temperatures, very little
precipitation (rain or snow), a short growing season, few nutrients,
and low biological diversity.

82. Location
● The tundra is located near the North Pole, in the top of
the world. This enormous biome covers a fifth of the
Earth’s surface.

83. Fauna
● The snowy owl (Nyctea
scandiaca) is a bird that
lives in the tundra of North
America.
● The Arctic fox (Alopex
lagopus) is a furry mammal
that lives in the far north, in
the tundra.

84. Flora
● Arctic Tundra: Because the
climate in the Tundra Biome is
particularly inhospitable settings,
the flowers found within the
biome are very few.
● Alpine Tundra: The plants that
grow within this Tundra Biome
are called Alpine Plants. The
most abundant plant is the
Caribou moss.

85. Problems that affect the Tundra
● Lichens are a dominant life form on the tundra, and they are particularly
vulnerable to air pollution. Because of this, lichens have historically been
used as air pollution indicators. Air pollution has also led to a persistent 'arctic
haze' that contributes to acid rain and settles on the ground, hastening
snowmelt.

86. Problems that affect the Tundra (II)
● In addition to global concerns, ecosystem imbalances can have
profound regional impacts. For example, the snow geese nesting
on Canadian tundra have increased by 5 to 7 percent annually
since 1965

87. People who live in the Tundra
● Inuit: They live along the coast
and hunt caribou, seal, whales
and fish. They speak Inuktitut
which includes seven different
dialects.
● Yakut:They live in Siberia
tundras. They hunt to get
animals furs. They change
locations twice a year.
