Biome Description pt 2.

Submitted by ncarbone on Thu, 03/21/2019 - 16:55

Some general plant forms that I would expect to find in this biome would include an open canopy of short trees, evergreen trees and shrubs, and more specifically plants with sclerophyllous leaves. These leaves help the plants continue to photosynthesize during the dry drought season of the summer. Also, fires are typically common in temperate shrubland/woodland biomes, so the plants would most likely be adapted for dry soils and fires during the drought season. However, due to this biome having slightly more precipitation than a typical temperate shrubland/woodland there might be slightly more vegetation. Lastly, I would expect to find this biome somewhere around 40-50 degrees N/S due to the climate patterns.
