Research/Project Results

This is the central research page for the World Wide Biome Project. From this page you can see student gathered research from ecosystems around the world. Compare it with what lives in your biome!

• How are plants and animals adapted to their environments?

• Do endangered species live there?

• What environmental pressures exist in that biome?

• Learn about that biome from the students who did the research!

(school addresses are found on the E-Pals page)

The following map outlines the major biomes ( large geographic regions with characteristic climate and topography) of the world. Can you find your biome?
