Tropical Rainforests: These locations (typically around the equator) receive year-round rain, making them lush with tropical plants, trees, rivers, streams, and rich, fertile soil.
Temperate Forests: Unlike tropical rainforests, temperate forests have four distinct seasons and many evergreen and deciduous trees, which shed their leaves in the fall and winter.
Taiga: Boreal forests are another name for taiga. The taiga, the largest of the seven land biomes, is dominated by conifers such as fir, pine, and cedar, which have needle-shaped leaves.
Deserts: are known for their hot, dry summers and very cold winters. Because most deserts receive minimal rainfall, certain plants have developed to store water in order to flourish.
Savanna: Unlike grasslands, savannas get enough rain to support trees in clusters or strewn throughout the landscape.
Tundra: In the summer, large swathes of territory characterized by flat, frigid plains support short grasses, plants, and green moss.
