Tree crowns are separated by open areas with low herb and shrub layers in a(n):

The removal of forests is BEST called:

Monsoon forests are deciduous.

The biome characterized by openly spaced trees with massive trunks with thick, rough bark, comparatively low branches and large, round crowns is the:

The forest that can be broadleaf with leathery leaves or needleleaf evergreen trees, moderate dense canopy, and well developed lower vegetation layer such as tree ferns, bamboo, small palms, shrubs and herbs, lianas, and epiphytes is the:

Most of the trees of the monsoon forest are ___________ trees that shed their leaves because of stress during the long dry season that occurs at the time of low Sun and cool temperatures.

Savanna woodland has trees closely spaced taking advantage of the abundant soil moisture through shallow roots.

The mid-latitude deciduous forest is associated with the marine west coast climate of Europe.

Sclerophyll forests are deciduous.

The stable, mature plant cover, largely free from the influences of human activity is called:

Deer, moose, elk, black bear, marten, mink, wolves, wolverine, and fisher are BEST associated with the:

The biome shown in this picture is:

Most forests in moist climates have two or fewer layers of life-forms, trees, and herbs.

The tundra biome is BEST associated with:

The low-latitude rainforest is noted for the dominance of five main tree species and seven main bird species.

The climate with which the savanna biome is BEST associated is the:

Plants that survive for a single season are called:

_____________ is known as stable, mature plant cover, largely free from the influences of human activities.

Some broad-leafed herbs are:

The "other" northern hemisphere region of sclerophyll forest is in:
