The document describes several major terrestrial ecosystems: tundra, savannah, temperate grasslands, tropical rainforests, coniferous forests, deciduous forests, Mediterranean forests, and deserts. It provides details on the climate, location, dominant flora and fauna for each ecosystem. Key features include sparse vegetation in tundra, a mix of grasses and few trees in savannahs and grasslands, and varied tree types and climates across forest ecosystems.

1. TERRESTRIAL
ECOSYSTEMS

2. To study the terrestrial
ecosystems, we have to
consider these factors:
- Climate and temperature
- Where we can find them
- Features
- Fauna
- Flora

3. TUNDRA

4. It is a very cold and
dry place.

5. It is located near the North
Pole.

6. There are no trees
because the soil is very
poor

7. Reindeer

8. Arctic
fox

9. Polar
bears

10. White
wolves

11. Lichens
Lichens

12. Mosses

13. SAVANNAH

14. There are two seasons: the
rainy season and the dry
season.

15. We can find savannahs in tropical
areas, for example in Serengetti
(Africa) or Cerrado (Brazil)

16. Serengeti safari

17. Cerrado in
Brazil

18. Elephants, lions, zebras,
giraffes, gazelles, etc. live
there.

19. There are few trees
and lots of grasses.

20. TEMPERATE
GRASSLANDS

21. They are located in colder regions
than savannahs.

22. We can find them in prairies,
steppes and pampa.

23. PRAIRIES

24. STEPPES

25. PAMPA IN ARGENTINA

26. There are few trees because the soil is
very poor.

27. BISON

28. PRAIRIE DOGS

29. WOLVES

30. COYOTES

31. There are few trees and
lots of grasses.

32. TROPICAL
RAINFORESTS

33. It is warm and wet all
year long.

34. We can find this ecosystem in the tropical area:
between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of
Capricorn.

35. This ecosystem is the
house of half species of
animals and plants on
Earth.

36. Snakes, monkeys,
jaguars, parrots, toucans,
etc. live there.

37. EVERGREEN TREES

38. FERNS

39. CONIFEROUS FORESTS

40. They are located in
cold areas.

41. We can find them in north Europe.

42. They are called coniferous because
the seeds of the trees are inside
cones.

43. There are brown bears,
foxes, deer, etc.

44. There are
pine trees
and fir trees.

45. DECIDIOUS
FORESTS

46. Summers are mild
and winters are mild
too.

47. We can find them in north America and
north Europe.

48. Most trees are decidious because they lose
their leaves in winter.

49. We can find squirrels,
brown bears, rodents,
owls, etc.

50. There are oak trees.

51. MEDITERRANEAN
FOREST

52. There are hot summers and mild winters.

53. We can find it in areas next to the
Mediterranean Sea.

54. This ecosystem
suffers from fire,
droughts and
urbanization.

55. We can find eagles, vultures,
falcons, foxes, etc.

56. There are cork trees.

57. DESERTS

58. It is very hot and dry but nights are
very cold.

59. We can find them in Africa, Australia, Asia,
etc.

60. There are hot
deserts, like
Sahara and cold
deserts too.

61. We can find
lizards,
snakes,
scorpions,
camels, etc.

62. There are lots of
