Primary consumers-this group is comprised of mostly small animals and insects, such as mosquitoes, chipmunks, mice, squirrels, and seed eating birds. These organisms depend on the primary producers, for food and shelter.…

The Island of Madagascar consists of three different biomes, being tropical dry forest, tropical rain forest, and desert. In a tropical rain forest biome temperatures remain warm thought the year and precipitation occurs on an almost daily basis. This type of biome contains three levels of vegetation and only about two or three percent of the sunlight striking the canopy reaches the lowest level.…
A biome is a large, distinctive, complex community of plants and animals in a region maintained by climate. There are different types of biomes including tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, scrub forest, grasslands, desert and rain forest. Scientists disagree on the exact number of biomes in the world.…
The Taiga is an area of coniferous forest that is the largest land Biome as it makes up 29% of the forest cover of the world. It constitutes most of inland Canada, Alaska and northern US states, most of Sweden, Finland and Norway, lowland and coastal areas of Iceland, Russia: from St. Petersburg to the Pacific ocean including most of Siberia, northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan on the island of Hokkaidō.…

A man on a mission to make it back home after being stranded in a different region of Pangaea, which is a piece of land that incorporates many terrestrial biomes. He doesn’t know how he ended up there but he knew exactly where he was headed. His methods of survival were clear and he was able to make a few friends along the way. Throughout this journey from an unknown place to his home and family he traveled through 3 different terrestrial biomes. The biomes of Pangaea are similar to the ones known in our current world today but they’re in odd pairs. He traveled through the Savanna Forest, the Desert Chaparral and the Grassland Tundra.…
The levels of organization of a community is simple. It starts with the primary producer, then the primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, and lastly the decomposer. Some examples of producers are algae, sea weed, and any other type of potosynthetic organism. A pyramid of production is a pyramid that shows the loss of energy with each transfer in a food chain. At the bottom of the pyramid are the large amount of autotrophs with the most energy. The next (but smaller) level is the group of primary consumers (insects and other herbivores) who only get ten percent of the autotroph’s energy. Next are the small group of secondary consumers, who only get ten percent of the primary consumer’s energy. The top level consists of the smallest group, the tertiary consumers who only receive ten percent of the secondary consumer’s…

Rainforests are important as they are home to the most diverse biotic communities. Rainforests also help to prevent soil erosion, as nutrients that are stored in the vast number of trees and plants rather than in the soil. The biggest key factors of rainforests are that they help reduce the effects of worldwide climate change.…
A savanna is a flat grass-covered region with scattered shrubs, bushes, and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. A savanna is one type of grassland biome. The temperatures of savannas differ according to its season. During the dry season the temperatures are either very hot or cold. In the wet season the temperature is usually warm. If the savanna biome were to receive a little less rain it would become a desert. If it got a little more it would become temperate grassland. Savannas are typically dry receiving less than 30 inches of rain on average in a year. As little as 4 inches of rain fall during the dry season. The dry climate mixed with intense heat will result in wildfires which are common in this biome.…
The Mt Keira rainforest is located in Wollongong, New South Wales in Australia. The Mt Keira rainforest is what we call a subtropical rainforest. There are four types of rainforest: Tropical, subtropical, warm-temperate and cool-temperate. Tropical rainforests have generally have a warmer climate than subtropical rainforests. Warm-temperate rainforest are slightly cooler than subtropical rainforests, and cool-temperate rainforests have very cool climates, i.e. Canada.…
In a deciduous forest there are 5 zones The tree stratum zone, small tree zone, shrub zone, herb zone, and the last zone is the ground zone. Each of theses zones have an ecosystem in them. One example is the ground zone. This is where animals the can’t fly or climb trees. There’s also small plants. When the sun glows on a shrub that shrub grows. Then a mouse eats the shrub and the mouse gains energy. Later a coyote eats the mouse and the coyote gains energy from the mouse.Then an eagle swoops down and catches the coyote and eats it. When the eagle dies moshurmes decompose the eagle and the circle of life starts over.…
