Use Use these Biology and Biomes videos entitled Deciduous, Coniferous and The Moist Coniferous Forest Biomes to study the major biomes and biome types of North America and describe their climate and topography. Learn about plants and animals of each biome and discuss their environmental adaptations.

Learn about the world's biomes and uncover the differences in climate distribution, topography, and general appearance of each of the major life zones. Discover the unique plant and animal adaptations of the temperate deciduous forest biome and the various types of North American deciduous forest biome and the various types of North American deciduous forests.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the major biomes and biome types of North America and describe their climate and topography.
• Cite plants and animals of each biome and discuss their environmental adaptations.
• Locate the eastern deciduous forest biome; identify its nine types of forest and the names of forest trees; and describe the climatic conditions of a temperate deciduous forest.
• Describe the climate and characteristics of the northern coniferous forest biome, and explore the transitional sub-arctic taiga, the boreal forest, and the mountain boreal forest.
• Discuss the successional stages that take place in boreal and mountain boreal forests. Locate the moist coniferous forest biome and describe features of climax conifer forests.
• Discuss the characteristics of the Sitka spruce forest, the coastal redwood forest, and the Western Cascade forest, and explain how a maritime climate affects their growth.
