    This document summarizes warm temperate biomes. Biomes are large plant and animal communities defined by climate, especially temperature and precipitation. Warm temperate biomes have colder months above freezing, average annual temperatures around 12°C, and rainfall between 50-100cm annually. They contain both broadleaf deciduous trees and evergreens, though deciduous trees dominate. Examples include warm temperate evergreen forests, which cover around 100 million hectares worldwide and are very productive, and warm temperate rainforests found at higher elevations with cool, damp winters.

    Land Ecosystems:

    Warm Temperate
    Biome

    o A plant and animal community that


    covers a large geographical area

    o A major regional group of distinctive


    plant and animal communities best
    adapted to the region's physical natural
    environment, latitude, altitude and
    terrain.
    How are biomes formed?

    Biomes are distributed across the Earth


    based primarily on climate.
    BIOMES

    Arctic or subarctic area


    Subarctic and boreal area
    Temperate cold
    Temperate warm or subtropical
    Tropical
    Aquatic
    Warm Temperate

    Coldest month above 0 degrees C


    Annual mean temperature, 12 degrees C
    Average annual rainfall, 50-100 cm
    Warm Temperate

    Leaf margins between 30%-38% entire


    Broad-leaved deciduous with confers.
    Evergreens present, but not dominant
    Warm Temperate Evergreen Forests

    cover about 100 million ha of land area


    worldwide and are among the most
    productive of the worlds forests

    mean temperature is between 0oC and


    18oC for the coldest month of the year
    Warm Temperate Rainforest

    The warm-temperate rainforest zone occurs where


    subtropical rainforest conditions ascend above sea-level
    warmth or where soil fertility is low and winter months are
    cool and damp.

    The tree trunks tend to be slender and uniform in


    appearance, with distinct circular shaped communities of
    whitish lichens covering the bark
