Types of Forest
- Taiga
- The Northern Conifer forest biome found
in Canada, Scandinavia and Russia
- Taiga has a lower species biodiversity
because the amount of energy captured from
photosynthesis to drive the food web is low
- Conifers retain their leaves all year round, allowing for annual
photosynthesis. This is aided by needle-shaped leaves with waxy
cuticles and stomata in grooves help to reduce water loss
- The Northern Conifer forest biome found
in Canada, Scandinavia and Russia
- Tropical
- The region of the Earth within 22.5 degrees of the equator,
where the Sun is overhead at some time during the year
- Frequent rainfall, high light and temperature levels
- Ideal conditions for growth lead to high levels
of biodiversity and primary productivity
- The region of the Earth within 22.5 degrees of the equator,
where the Sun is overhead at some time during the year
- Temperate Deciduous
- A temperate climate has summers and winters of roughly
equal length and rarely has temperature extremes
- Deciduous trees shed all of their leaves in the
winter to reduce water loss and snow damage.
Examples include oak, maple, beech, elm and ash
- Good primary production levels, resulting in good biodiversity
- A temperate climate has summers and winters of roughly
equal length and rarely has temperature extremes
- All forests are usually climax
communities - the community left at the
end of primary ecological succession
