Luis Perez 11/23/10 6th The Tundra Biome Being the coldest and least filled with plant life‚ the tundra biome is noted as frost-molded landscapes with extreme temperatures. The tundra biome has low biotic diversity‚ low precipitation‚ and all around low‚ cold temperatures. The average temperature of the biome varies going from -25’C to 3’C between the months of January to July‚ then reverting from 3’C to -25’C between the months of July to December. Through those temperatures it causes a cycle

The Freshwater Biome By Lauren Finnis The freshwater biome is a complex biome that can be found all over the world. There are two major types of freshwater biomes. The first type is lotic or running which include rivers and streams. Lentic or standing is the second type; those include lakes and ponds. Since this biome is found worldwide‚ the species that reside in it can vary extensively‚ but usually it contains several species of fish‚ plants‚ and insects. Predation is a way of life in the freshwater

The Taiga Biome is the largest biome‚ it Extends across Europe‚ Asia‚ and North America. The Taiga is known for having both Coniferous and boreal forest. Fires happen very often in the Taiga. There isn’t much diversity in the plants. They have lots of Conifer trees which is why it’s known to have the Coniferous forest. These trees are said to be evergreens which means they are green all year long‚ nor drop their leaves. A quick fun Fact: Most scientist believe that the Taiga biome was once completely

Biomes and Diversity The importance of Biomes is regulated and should be preserved by the environment for which any particular organism is located. The ecosystems composed in relation to the Biomes differ from region to region so a controlled system most be established to balance the growth of dominant inviters. This can help stop the lose of any one particular Biome. One for instance of lose of Biomes accrued when humans take over land for the development of homes‚ mini malls‚ and so on

survive. The climate in the grassland biome is slightly drier than the climate in the deciduous forest biome. The temprature ranges from 20 c to 30 c. The average rainfall varies in the grassland from 10 to 40 inches year around. Fires in the grassland can cause the grasslands to thrive. The grass that gets burned enriches the soil‚ which allows new plants to grow. Some of the wild flowers can only sprout there seeds unless a searing heat. Fire also helps certain plants from growing that could change the

Research Paper The ocean is one of‚ if not‚ the largest biome on earth. There are more than one million species of marine life. Covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface‚ the ocean is our planet’s largest habitat‚ containing 99 percent of the living space on the planet. This area holds the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth. Like lakes‚ oceans are subdivided into separate zones: intertidal‚ pelagic‚ abyssal‚ and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species. The

The marine biome is one of the largest biomes on the earth. It spans three fourths of the earths surface. It includes all five oceans the Arctic‚ Indian‚ Southern‚ Atlantic‚ and Pacific. In it There are many many types of fish and also some mammals. The oceans span wide and deep. There are also plants in the ocean. The ocean is a vast and mysterious place where we are still discovering many things about it everyday. The physical attributes of the ocean depend on which ocean you explore‚for example

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes‚ Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia‚ meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes‚ extremely low temperatures‚ little precipitation‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons.A climate is a habitat around the world. The Tundra has snow everywhere and has very short growing seasons which means plants are hard to grow and farmers or whoever is planting crops need to plant early summer or fast enough before summer ends. The Tundra

Marine Biome (salt water) Did you know that the ocean is the largest biome in the world? In this paper I will tell you all about the Marine Biome‚ I will tell you about the weather‚ major landforms‚ sea creatures and more. This biome is all connected. The ocean is surrounding all of your coastal states in your country. I selected this biome because I enjoy all of the coral reefs and the creatures that make it their home. In the next paragraph I will tell you about the weather of this biome
