Biomes in the Everglades
Temperate Deciduous Forests
Temperate deciduous forests are known for mostly because they go through all of the four seasons. The leaves all change their colors, fall of the branches, and grow back with the corresponding season. The adaptations of the leaves causes the vegetation and flora to survive harsh, cold winters. The biome is usually found in the middle of polar regions and tropics. The biome experiences very cold winters and hot, wet summers. The forests’ yearly average is 10 degrees celsius. They receive around 750 mm to 150 mm of yearly precipitation. .
Flooded Grasslands
The flooded grassland biome in the Everglades is North America’s most extensive grassland. Plants filter out pollutants in water to bring cleaner water to Florida Keys, Florida Bay, and coral reefs. The biome is located on the southern tip of the Florida peninsula. The Everglades depend on fresh clean water to be delivered to Florida Bay. Pollution and agriculture and harm the small animals in the biome like pink shrimp, sponges, etc.
There are no other biomes that could be detected in the Everglades. The reason for this is the position of the national park and many different environmental factors. The everglades receive a lot of precipitation, and the soil is not very dry unlike a desert biome. The location of the national park is near the equator, so it cannot have a tundra or taiga biome. The land in the United States is not fit for a rainforest, so the Everglades cannot have one either.
