Terrestrial Biomes Part 2: Forests and Tundra

The video explores various terrestrial biomes, focusing on temperate deciduous forests, temperate evergreen forests, and the tundra. It describes the unique characteristics, climate, and vegetation of each biome, highlighting how plants adapt to their environments. The temperate deciduous forest is known for its four distinct seasons and diverse plant life. The temperate evergreen forest, characterized by coniferous trees, experiences cold winters and warm summers. The tundra, the coldest biome, features permafrost and limited vegetation due to its short growing season. Understanding these biomes provides insight into the interactions between plants and animals in different environments.
