There are six main Tropical Rain forest


types of terrestrial Grassland
ecosystems.

TAIGA

Taiga, also called boreal forest.

The taiga is a forest of the cold,


subarctic region.

TUNDRA

Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions


found in the Arctic and on the tops
of mountains.

The climate is cold and windy, and


rainfall is scant.

Temperate Decidiuous Forest


A deciduous forest is composed
mostly of trees that which lose their
leaves seasonally.

This type of forest is found in three


main regions: eastern North America,
western Eurasia, and northeastern
Asia.
Tropical rain Forest
The tropical rainforest is hot, moist
found near Earth's equator.

The world's largest tropical


rainforests are in South America,
Africa, and Southeast Asia. 

A rainforest is an area of tall trees and


a high amount of rainfall..
Deserts

Deserts are extremely dry


environments that are home to well-
adapted plants and animals. . 

Litte precipitations occur.
