Moderate climate and a growing season of 140-200 days during 4-6 frost-free months distinguish forests.  Seasons are divided into short, moist, and moderately warm summers and long, cold, and dry winters. The length of the growing season in biome forests is 130 days.

Viau, E. A. (Copyright © 1999., N/A N/A). //[|http://www.world-builders.org]//. Retrieved March 25, 2010, from [] The tropical rain forest biome is one of the most productive areas on earth. There are different kinds of animals and plants in the world of the tropical rain forest. These forests are about 70 million to 100 million years old, so they are really old. Tropical rain forests are found in the western edge of North and South America. They are dominated by four kinds of tall trees. They are Hemlock, Ceder, Spruce and Douglas fire.

Retrieved March 25, 2010, from Tropical Rainforest Biome: [] Tropical rainforest biome is the most complex and species-rich biome on the Earth. It rains a lot in tropical rainforest biome - up to 2000mm a year. The high rainfall often results in poor soils, because of leaching of soluble nutrients. Tropical rainforests are the species-richest ecosystems on the Earth.

Studios, A. W. (2002-2003, N/A N/A). //www.GlobalEnvironment.co.uk.//. Retrieved MARCH 25, 2010, from Rainforest: [] The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50 to 260 inches (125 to 660 cm.) of rain falls yearly. There are four very distinct layers of trees in a tropical rain forest. These layers have been identified as the emergent, upper canopy, understory, and forest floor. Rainforest plants have made many adaptations to their environment. Many plants have drip tips and grooved leaves, and some leaves have oily coatings to shed water. == = = =By:David Valentin= = = = =

__Grasslands__ //Savannah:// There is not enough rain in one season that causes a drought. this drought provides kindle for fires. this fire destroys trees and tries to go on the grasslands. //Grassland:// In the grasslands there are many different storms such as drought, fire and Rainfall. The grasslands have about 20 - 35 inches of rain per year. A drought is a big part of the grasslands which stops trees from taking over the grasslands. Fires are also a big part of this biome just like droughts forest fires stop trees from taking over the grasslands. //__<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/desert.htm __// = Bibliography = n/a. __tropical Savannah.__ n/a n/a 2003. 24 March 2010 <http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/tropicalsavanna.html>.

Deciduous Forest

By: Bryan Francisco
 * The average annual temperature in a deciduous forest is 50 F.
 * In Deciduous Forest there are five different zones, and the first one is the Stratum Zone. This zone has height ranges between 60 feet and 100 feet.
 * Deciduous Forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe.
 * The plants have adapted to the forest by leaning toward the sun and by soaking up the nutrients in the ground.
 * Deciduous means falling of or out at a certain season. That explains why the leaves fall of the trees, and when the winter comes.
