Forest

Temperate Forest

Temperate Forest's have some of the widest ranges of climates. They could have either tree's that lose their leaves in the winter or it could be an evergreen forest.

Tropical Forest

The number of species living in the 2 types of tropical forests' is more than all habitats combined.

They are found near the Earths Equator. There are 2 types of Tropical Forests they are the rain forest and seasonal forest.

The difference between the 2 are that the seasonal forest has a dry season and a wet season while the tropical forest does not have a dry season.

Desert

They get less then 6 percent of rain per year.

Deserts are very dry which makes it hard for many plants to grow. Animals who live in deserts have special features to help them survive.
