TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS

Page 2: Terrestrial ecosystems

To study the terrestrial ecosystems, we have to consider these factors:

- Climate and temperature- Where we can find them

- Features - Fauna- Flora

Page 3: Terrestrial ecosystems

TUNDRA

Page 4: Terrestrial ecosystems

It is a very cold and dry place.

Page 5: Terrestrial ecosystems

It is located near the North Pole.

Page 6: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are no trees because the soil is very

poor

Page 7: Terrestrial ecosystems

Reindeer

Page 8: Terrestrial ecosystems

Arctic fox

Page 9: Terrestrial ecosystems

Polar bears

Page 10: Terrestrial ecosystems

White wolves

Page 11: Terrestrial ecosystems

Lichens

Mosses

SAVANNAH

Page 14: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are two seasons: the rainy season and the dry

season.

Page 15: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find savannahs in tropical areas, for example in Serengetti

(Africa) or Cerrado (Brazil)

Page 17: Terrestrial ecosystems

Cerrado in Brazil

Page 18: Terrestrial ecosystems

Elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, etc. live

there.

Page 19: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are few trees and lots of grasses.

Page 20: Terrestrial ecosystems

TEMPERATE GRASSLANDS

Page 21: Terrestrial ecosystems

They are located in colder regions than savannahs.

Page 22: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find them in prairies, steppes and pampa.

Page 23: Terrestrial ecosystems

PRAIRIES

Page 24: Terrestrial ecosystems

STEPPES

Page 25: Terrestrial ecosystems

PAMPA IN ARGENTINA

Page 26: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are few trees because the soil is very poor.

Page 27: Terrestrial ecosystems

BISON

Page 28: Terrestrial ecosystems

PRAIRIE DOGS

Page 29: Terrestrial ecosystems

WOLVES

Page 30: Terrestrial ecosystems

COYOTES

Page 31: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are few trees and lots of grasses.

Page 32: Terrestrial ecosystems

TROPICAL RAINFORESTS

Page 33: Terrestrial ecosystems

It is warm and wet all year long.

Page 34: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find this ecosystem in the tropical area: between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of

Capricorn.

Page 35: Terrestrial ecosystems

This ecosystem is the house of half species of animals and plants on

Earth.

Page 36: Terrestrial ecosystems

Snakes, monkeys, jaguars, parrots, toucans,

etc. live there.

Page 37: Terrestrial ecosystems

EVERGREEN TREES

Page 38: Terrestrial ecosystems

FERNS

Page 39: Terrestrial ecosystems

CONIFEROUS FORESTS

Page 40: Terrestrial ecosystems

They are located in cold areas.

Page 41: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find them in north Europe.

Page 42: Terrestrial ecosystems

They are called coniferous because the seeds of the trees are inside

cones.

Page 43: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are brown bears, foxes, deer, etc.

Page 44: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are pine trees

and fir trees.

Page 45: Terrestrial ecosystems

DECIDIOUS FORESTS

Page 46: Terrestrial ecosystems

Summers are mild and winters are mild

too.

Page 47: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find them in north America and north Europe.

Page 48: Terrestrial ecosystems

Most trees are decidious because they lose their leaves in winter.

Page 49: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find squirrels, brown bears, rodents,

owls, etc.

Page 50: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are oak trees.

Page 51: Terrestrial ecosystems

MEDITERRANEAN FOREST

Page 52: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are hot summers and mild winters.

Page 53: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find it in areas next to the Mediterranean Sea.

Page 54: Terrestrial ecosystems

This ecosystem suffers from fire,

droughts and urbanization.

Page 55: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find eagles, vultures, falcons, foxes, etc.

Page 56: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are cork trees.

Page 57: Terrestrial ecosystems

DESERTS

Page 58: Terrestrial ecosystems

It is very hot and dry but nights are very cold.

Page 59: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find them in Africa, Australia, Asia, etc.

Page 60: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are hot deserts, like

Sahara and cold deserts too.

Page 61: Terrestrial ecosystems

We can find lizards, snakes,

scorpions, camels, etc.

Page 62: Terrestrial ecosystems

There are lots of cacti, bushes, etc.
