Ecology Biome questions

[Twinbird24]

I am not 100% of the answers to the following questions:

Q1. This photograph is characteristic of which major biome?

Arctictundra

Coniferous forest

Temperate forest

Desert

Q2. Which biome has a plant community dominated by grasses and a climate characterized by an intermediate amount of rainfall, warm summers and cold winters?

Arctic tundra

Temperate grassland

Tropical savanna grassland

Desert

 

 

For (1) I think the answer is temperate forest (not a dessert or tundra obviously, and doesn't contain coniferous) and for (2) which is the one I'm having trouble with, I think the answer is temperate grassland (desserts don't have grass, the arctic tundra would have little rainfall and cold all year round with little, if any, vegetation, while a tropical grassland wouldn't have very cold winters).

 

Thanks.
