Biomes :
Biomes Desert:
Extreme daily temperature fluctuations
Rainfall is generally very low, or is concentrated during particular times of year between droughts.
Soil can be sandy or rocky, with very little moisture
Temperate:
Temperatures fluctuate according to distinct seasons
These regions receive an abundance of precipitation (in rain or snow)
Soil is generally very fertile and moist
Biomes Continued… :
Biomes Continued… Tropical:
Seasonally warm temperatures (often the result of proximity to equator)
Abundant rainfall (Average between 50-260 in. per year)
Average humidity is 77-88%
Soils are nutrient-poor due to leaching
The CLOUD FOREST is a type of tropical rainforest
-Located on mountaintops
-Humidity is high, but temperature is generally low
-Precipitation in the form of mist or light rain
-Environment suitable for the growth of many mosses and epiphytes

Slide 5:
Kingdom: Plantae
Over 250,000 known species
Second largest kingdom
Often the most dominant organisms
in their environment
In the Greenhouse…
Approximately 35 identified species
Classified by: Location, Latin name,
Common name, and requirements
Divided into sections according to
Environmental needs (e.g. moisture
And light exposure)
Light Levels :

In the Future… :
In the Future… The plant index is designed to be added to in the future as the plant content changes.
New brochures can be created according to updates within the Greenhouse. Ours is simply a start!
Would be beneficial to conduct a year-long analysis of light, humidity, and temperature levels to study the changes occurring within and between seasons.
