| - large, fleet footed grazers - ground dwelling burrowers - fire resistant tall grasses | Grasslands/ Savannas 3 Biotic Factors |
| grasslands and savannas rainfall | 10- 20 inches of rainfall,avg. temp 64° , porous soil w/ thin layer of humus |
| taiga rainfall | 15-30 inches of rainfall/ thin, acidic soil/ hot, humid or very cold temperatures |
| coniferous rainfall | 15-30 inches of rainfall/ distinct winters/ well- defined seasons |
| temperature decidious rainfall | 30-60 inches of rainfall, rich soil, trees lose leaves every year (distinct seasonal change) |
| Endangered= Prairie Dog Extinct= Quagga | 1 endangered/ extinct of grasslands and savannas |
| Endangered= Siberian Tiger Extinct= Wooly mammoth | Endangered/ extinct of taiga |
| Endangered= Elk Extinct= Passenger Piegon | Endangered/ extinct of coniferous |
| Endangered= Tiger Beetle Extinct= Giant Beaver | Endangered/ extinct of temperate decidious forest |
| Overgrazing lost grassland, Large areas turned to farming, Animals hunted to near extinction | Human Uses/ Abuses grassland/ savanna |
| Deforestation (soil not held together well), Acid rain from factories affects water quality, Poaching of animals | Human Uses/ Abuses taiga |
| Land cleared for roads leads to destruction of habitat, Deforestation, Land cleared for agriculture | Human Uses/ Abuses coniferous |
| Deforestation, Land cleared for agriculture, Acid rain | Human Uses/ Abuses temperate decidious forest |
