Taiga Taiga (Boreal forest) - The boreal forest or taiga exists as a nearly continuous belt of coniferous trees across North America and Eurasia. Overlying formerly glaciated areas and areas of patchy permafrost on both continents‚ the forest is mosaic of successional and subclimax plant communities sensitive to varying environmental conditions. Taiga is the Russian name for this forest which covers so much of that country. However‚ the term is used in North America as well. Climate: The

Mediterranean Scrub Introduction: Regions of Mediterranean-type climate occur roughly between 30° and 40° latitude on the west coasts of continents‚ where offshore there are cold ocean currents. Each region in which the Mediterranean shrublands and woodlands occur is island-like in character and thus there is frequently a high degree of endemism. Comparative studies of the several regional expressions of this biome reveal interesting examples of convergent evolution in plant families and birds (but

TERRESTRIAL BIOME Introduction Many places on Earth share similar climatic conditions despite being found in geographically different areas. As a result of natural selection‚ comparable ecosystems have developed in these separated areas. Scientists call these major ecosystem types biomes. The geographical distribution (and productivity) of the various biomes is controlled primarily by the climatic variables precipitation and temperature. The maps in Figures 1 and 2 describe the geographical locations
