1 Terrestrial Biome Puzzle Introduction: The biome concept organizes large-scale ecological variation. Terrestrial biomes are distinguished primarily by their predominant vegetation, and are mainly determined by temperature and rainfall. The terrestrial biomes include Tundra, Taiga, Temperate Deciduous forest, Temperate grassland, Chaparrals, Tropical Savannas, Tropical Rain forests, and Deserts. Objective: In this activity, you will complete a puzzle for terrestrial biomes by cutting and gluing the correct features onto the biome puzzle sheet.
