‭Seasonal Forests‬

‭Comparing Climatographs‬
‭ hree types of forests were featured in this episode of Planet Earth.‬ ‭Taiga‬‭, which have the longest and‬
T
‭coldest winters,‬‭temperate deciduous‬‭, which enjoy‬‭a growing season long enough to support broadleaf‬
‭trees, and‬‭dry deciduous‬‭, which have seasons based‬‭on precipitation instead of temperature.‬

‭ or this assignment, you will be given data from three specific locations on the Earth. For each location,‬
F
‭construct a climatograph, a combined chart showing the precipitation and temperature levels across an‬
‭average year.‬
