| 99 | Describe the environmental conditions of mountainous habitats. | ||
| 100 | Describe the climate and of polar and tundra regions, as well as the dominant producers. | ||
Forests Lecture |
101 | Describe climate conditions and locations of taiga, also known as boreal forests. | |
| 102 | Distinguish between the environmental conditions of deciduous and evergreen temperate forests, and describe the impacts of deforestation and fires. | ||
| 103 | Outline basic forest structure, including the emergent layer, canopy, understory, shrub layer, herb layer, and forest floor. | ||
