Explanation:

• Deciduous forests: Have distinct seasons. Trees shed leaves in autumn. Temperatures vary moderately throughout the year.
• Grasslands (temperate grasslands): Also known as prairies. Have warm summers and cold winters. Moderate precipitation.
• Chaparral: Has a Mediterranean - type climate (hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters). But it is not a typical temperate biome in the broad - sense as its climate is more of a distinct subtype.
• Tundra (arctic tundra): Extremely cold with a short growing season. Not a temperate biome.
• Rainforest (tropical rainforest): Warm and wet throughout the year. Not temperate.
• Alpine: Found at high altitudes. Climate is harsh with cold temperatures, strong winds etc. Not a low - elevation temperate biome.
