Home›Temperate Forest and Shrubland›Biome TypeBrowse ByBiome TypeThis dimension links an ecosystem to the broader biome type it belongs to. Wikipedia describes a coral reef as "an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals," sometimes called "rainforests of the sea" for how much life it supports in so little space. Browsing by biome type groups ecosystems that share the same broad physical setting.FactsBiome TypeSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonWWF Biome RealmWell-attestedTerrestrial 1Biome TypeFilter Results5 entriesBiogeographic RealmAllAfrotropic (2)Australasian (1)Nearctic (3)Neotropic (2)Palearctic (4)Where It Is (Continent or Country)AllAlgeria (1)Argentina (1)Australia (1)Belarus (1)Canada (1)Chile (1)Croatia (1)Egypt (1)England (1)Europe (1)France (1)Germany (1)Greece (1)Italy (1)Libya (1)Mexico (1)Morocco (1)New Zealand (1)South Africa (1)Spain (1)Tunisia (1)Turkey (1)Ukraine (1)United States (3)Protected StatusAllPartially Protected (4)Strictly Protected (2)SizeAll112,100 to 350,000 sq km (2)15,000 to 106,629.5 sq km (1)2,000,000 to 335,000,000 sq km (1)543 to 13,605 sq km (3)Annual Precipitation (mm)All350 (1)600 (1)1200 (1)2000 (1)2500 (1)Annual Precipitation BandAllModerate (1)RealmAllTerrestrial (1)Typical High Temperature (C)All20 (2)28 (1)30 (1)40 (1)Typical Low Temperature (C)All-40 (1)-10 (1)-2 (1)2 (1)10 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareChaparralBiome Type3 entriesMontane Grasslands and ShrublandsBiome Type3 entriesTemperate Coniferous ForestBiome Type1 entryTemperate ForestBiome Type2 entriesTemperate RainforestBiome Type3 entriesSources1.
