Study Notes
Tropical Rainforest
- Located near the equator with no seasonality.
- High year-round temperatures averaging 25°C.
- Consistently high humidity with annual precipitation of 300mm.
Tropical Seasonal Forests and Savannahs
- Experiences seasonality with moderate temperatures around 25°C.
- High humidity drops significantly in June/July to 20mm, creating unsuitable growth conditions.
Desert
- Characterized by seasonal variations; cooler in winter (10°C) and hot in summer (35°C).
- Remains dry throughout the year, hindering plant growth.
Temperate Grassland
- Seasonal climate with subfreezing temperatures in winter (-10°C, Dec-Feb).
- Gradual increase in precipitation from a low of 20mm to a peak of 120mm in June and July, alongside temperatures reaching approximately 25°C.
Temperate Shrubland and Woodlands
- Temperature gradually increases from 10°C to around 25°C during summer months.
- Precipitation averages 60mm until June/July, drops to 20mm (impacting plant growth), then spikes to about 120mm in October.
Temperate Deciduous Forest
- Experiences subfreezing winter temperatures (-10°C, Dec-Feb) rising to about 20°C in June and July.
- Humidity lower in winter (60mm) increases to a peak of 90mm during mid-year, before gradually declining.
Temperate Evergreen Forest
- Average winter temperatures with a gradual rise to approximately 10°C in June and July.
- Winter precipitation averages 75mm, declining to around 40mm before spiking back to 75mm in June, then sharply declining again.
Boreal (Taiga)
- Subfreezing conditions from October to March, reaching lows of -30°C.
- Temperature rises post-August to a high of 10°C during June and July; precipitation follows a similar pattern, between 10mm in winter to 50mm in summer.
Tundra
- Characterized by subfreezing temperatures from September to March, with lows of -30°C in December and January.
- Gradual temperature increase to a maximum of 8°C in July; precipitation parallels temperature, ranging from 10mm in winter to 30mm in summer.
