Book Instructions: Use the data given to create a climate diagram for each biome. Precipitation data should be graphed with bars and temperature with a line. Identify each using the completed climate diagrams. Biome numbers are in random order. There are three extra graphs if you mess up. Create a biome book with the following items on each page: Biome name/title (determine from climate diagram) Climate data (below) Abiotic factors (matching) Dominant plants (look up) Two animals (with a description of an adaptation for each) (look up) Example/Photo of a location within the biome (look up and draw) Net Primary Productivity (look up) Growing season (months) General latitude range (use map) Important human interferences (descriptions for two for each biome) (look up) Biomes are Taiga, Tropical Rain Forest, Savanna, Desert, Temperate Grasslands, Temperate Woodland/Shrubland, Temperate Rain Forest, Northwest Coniferous Forest, and Tundra.
