Nature’s Neighbors

Do you know that plants live in com­munities just as people clo?

A forest is a plant community of many trees. A pond is a community of
many water plants. Prairies, deserts, and oceans are plant communities,
too.

Plants live in places that have the kind of weather and soil they need.
Plants in a swamp grow best in a wet place. Plants in a desert grow best
in a very dry place. Swamp plants and desert plants could never be
neighbors.

Communities of plants and animals are called biomes. Every plant,
animal, and person lives in some kind of biome. You can find out what
kind you live in from the next few pages.
