Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Scientists discover a new species of tree that is adapted well for a cold environment with a moderate amount of rainfall. In which biome would this new species most likely be found?

A	deciduous forest
B	tropical forest
C	tundra
D	taiga

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The tropical rainforest biome gets the highest precipitation or rainfall annually. Most regions get at least 200 cm to about 430 cm rain annually. Deserts and tundra get the least amount of precipitation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Boreal forests are characterized by needle-leaved, drought tolerant, evergreen trees, and a climate consisting of long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Biomass in tree trunks and long-lived evergreen leaves results in nutrients being stored in the plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘Deciduous forest and arctic tundra’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rainforests receive the most rain of all of the biomes in a year! A typical year sees 2, 000 to 10, 000 millimeters (79 to 394 inches) of rain per year.
