Introduction I researched about savanna biome and I have found this really interesting. In this paper I’m going to talk about savanna climate (temperature‚ how much rain savanna gets per year)‚ where the savannas are and plants and animals and how they adapt themselves to survive. The last topic I’m going to talk about how can human help savanna and how do we affect savanna. About savanna A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated

that we were given our local climatogram most resembled the mid latitude (temperate) grassland biome of Lawrence‚ Kansas . I arrived at this conclusion by comparing the two climatogram graphs and noticing a striking resemblance. The precipitation and temperature were almost exactly the same. Although they have similar qualities‚ the two climatograms also have many distinct differences. In our local biome we can observe that there is more rain in the summer months. We also that the temperature in the

Week 13 Review Biomes 1. What is a biome? a. Large area of similarly adapted species 2. How are plants similar and different in the biome of two different locations? a. Plant species vary but plant for is similar 3. How does latitude influence biomes? a. Above 60o N latitude Artic b. Below 60o N latitude 4. How does continental placement influence biomes? a. Coastal areas more moderate temp fluctuations b. Interior areas more extreme temp fluctuations c. Areas behind mountains

Biomes – is a large‚ distinct terrestrial region that has a similar climate‚ soil‚ plants‚ and animals regardless of where it occurs. It covers a large geographic area and encompasses interacting landscapes. Landscape – is a large land area covering many square kilometers composed of interacting ecosystem. 9 major biomes in the terrestrial biomes 1. Tundra – also called arctic tundra occurs in extreme northern latitudes wherever snow melts seasonally. 2. Taiga – Is the evergreen forest

grassland biome is characterized by a prolonged dry season. _F__ 2. The taiga biome is found in North America‚ Asia‚ and Africa. __F_ 3. In the desert biome‚ the rate of precipitation exceeds the rate of evaporation. __F_ 4. The taiga and a plant cell are both examples of closed systems. __T_ 5.

Japan has two main biomes temperate forest and boreal forest. The biggest of the two is the temperate forest covering more than three forth’s of Japan. Temperate forest is a mild weather area that gets Temperatures from -30 degrees C to 30 degrees C with an average precipitation of 75 to 150 cm spread out over the year with at least two to three spices of trees per square mile. Boreal forest is Japans second biome and is a lot smaller only consisting of it’s top most island Boreal forest unlike

2013 Chapter 11 Key Terms Q1: Contrast and explain the concepts of ecosystem and biome. A: An ecosystem is a natural unit consisting of all plants‚ animals and micro-organisms in an area functioning together with all the non-living physical factors of the environment. Among terrestrial ecosystems‚ the type that provides the most appropriate scale for understanding world distribution pattern is called a biome. Q2: What is an ecotone? A: A region of transition between two biological communities
