Forest Biome


Book Description

Readers will learn about the three major forest biomes, which are temperate, boreal, and rain forests. The text will focus on the climate, plants, and animals that are found in forests around the world. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Abdo Kids is a division of ABDO.




Forest Biomes Around the World


Book Description

It's a full home under the leaves of a forest! From spiders and frogs to deer and bears, the temperate forest biome has just the right shelter and weather for a large variety of plants and animals. Learn about the geography and resources of the temperate forest biome as well as how animals and people have adapted to and impacted forest environments. Explore this biome's future and what people can do to help keep it safe.




A Walk in the Deciduous Forest, 2nd Edition


Book Description

An immersive, high-interest approach to the highly curricular topic of biomes




Greenwood Guides to Biomes of the World


Book Description

Provides a comprehensive study of desert biomes, that includes maps, photographs, diagrams, and drawings that highlight habitats, species, and ecological relationships.




Rain Forest Plants


Book Description

Tells about a variety of rain forest plants, how they are used, why they are in danger, and how they are being protected.




Temperate Forest Biomes


Book Description

Offers an overview of the temperate forest that covers much of North America, describing the three types of temperate forest biomes and the aspects that define them.




Temperate Forest Biomes


Book Description

This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Biomes of the World series covers the vast forest that cover much of North America and similar regions. The volume covers the three major types of temperate forest biomes: boreal forests (e.g. the evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest), Temperate Broadleaf Deciduous Forest, and Mediterranean Woodland and Scrub, examining all aspects that define these biomes: • Vegetation • Geographical Distribution • Soil • Challenges posed by the environment • Adaptation of the plants and animals to the environment • Conservation efforts, maps, photos, diagrams, drawings, and tables accompany the text, as do sidebars that highlight habitats, species, and ecological relationships The volume includes a bibliography of accessible resources for further research.




Tropical Forest Biomes


Book Description

This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Biomes of the World series covers the lush, beautiful - and rapidly shrinking - tropical forest biomes. The volume covers the two major tropic forest biomes, tropical rainforests and tropical seasonal forests.




The Carbon Balance of Forest Biomes


Book Description

The Carbon Balance of Forest Biomes provides an informed synthesis on the current status of forests and their future potential for carbon sequestration. This volume is timely, since convincing models which scale from local to regional carbon fluxes are needed to support these international agreements, whilst criticisms have been levelled at existing empirical approaches. One key question is to determine how well eddy-flux measurements at the stand-level represent regional-scale processes. This may be related to specific management practices (age, plantation, fertilisation) or simple bias in choosing representative sites (ease of access, roughness, proximity to physical barriers). The ecology and regeneration state of temperate, tropical and boreal forests under current climatic conditions are discussed, together with partitioning of photosynthetic and respiratory fluxes from soils and vegetation. The volume considers how to integrate contrasting methodologies, and the latest approaches for scaling from stand to the planetary boundary layer.
