A Biome is a large region of land and/or water characterized by a particular climate. Biomes can be affected by climate and location‚ the climate of a region because the temperatures and yearly rainfall can effect which organisms are living in that specific biome year round‚ or what just lives there temporarily. Location can affect biomes because if it was closer to the equator‚ then it would have a warmer climate year round‚ if it lived farther away from the equator‚ then it would have a colder

bleaching (a process by which coral reefs lose their life-giving algae) has become more widespread in the past decades as sea temperatures rise‚ causing reefs to “’collapse catastrophically’” (Markey). Colder regions‚ too‚ are feeling the heat. In the Arctic‚ shrinking sea ice is disappearing at a rate of 11% per decade‚ which has depleted polar bear habitats and shortened their winter hunting season‚ resulting in malnutrition and population decline(Dvorak). Meanwhile‚ on the opposite pole‚ the Antarctic

While it once might have seemed impossible that the sea ice in the Arctic would ever cease to exist‚ today the trends in melting sea ice are conclusive‚ and the leading cause of polar bears being at risk. In the past thirty years‚ mean world surface temperatures have increased 0.2°C per decade. However‚ in some parts of the Arctic‚ temperatures have increased ten times the rate (Hansen et al‚ 2006). Since the late 1970s there have been major reductions in summer sea ice extent‚ decreases in the extent

While the decline of arctic deer populations would be quite tragic‚ the evidence presented in support of it is inadequate‚ and further proof is required to evaluate the stated claim. It is important to take whatever action is required to maintain the deer population‚ but first we must ascertain whether they are actually on the decline. Local hunter reports are sufficient to launch a preliminary investigation‚ but do not provide substantial confirmation of the deer’s plight. Rather‚ a census is required

In certain arctic regions‚ there is little food to gather during the arctic winter‚ so men gather all the food and other items the people may need. The gathering of fruits‚ nuts‚ and other vegetation is extremely important. Birth spacing is also an important factor in controlling the growth of

polar bears (Ursus maritimus) is being severely affected by this loss of ice and has many negative effects on their long-term survival (Stirling and Derocher‚ 2012). These majestic animals are widely spread across ice-covered areas of seas of the Arctic‚ the ice is their primary habitat to breed and live while hunting both on land and in the water. Although they can swim for certain periods of time‚ they cannot survive in the water for very long‚ so without ice covered land to come back to the polar
