Hardwood evergreen trees which are widely spaced and are found in the Mediterranean region are olive‚ cork‚ oak and stone pine. Temperate Forests The temperate forest biome is found in regions where winters are cold and summers are warm. Regions with this climate are common in the mid-latitudes‚ far from both the equator and the poles. Tropical rainforests are in regions that are consistently warm all year long‚ close

Then it will be about how do animals adapt to savanna then is food chain and there is more. Climate Climate of savanna is usually warm. So I think that’s why in savanna has a lot of grass.

And like I had said before‚ without them the world wouldn’t be as nice as it is today. “A recent study estimated that one acre of wetland can store over one and a half million gallons of flood water.” (Wetlands and Grassland Habitat‚ 2). These biomes produce clean water that is used in our homes‚ that’s another way that they contribute. “Many wetlands help recharge

During the video there were a couple of things that surprised me.
