BIOMES LAB BIOL 120 `` A biome is a major complex of similar communities. It is the largest ecological unit we recognize. Different books vary in the number of biomes they list. Temperature and precipitation are the two key factors that determine the different type biomes. Some books consider marine ecosystems and freshwater systems as biomes. Others break out wetlands as a biome. We will look at 10 terrestrial biomes: 1. Tundra (Arctic and alpine) 2. Boreal forest or taiga

California is a state of enormous diversity. From the coast to the mountains and the forests to the deserts‚ California is full of a wide array of plant life. California is the third largest state in the United States and thus has a major variation in climate resulting in the many plants found. Not only are there many plants found here‚ but many of those plants cannot be found anywhere else. There are also many nonnative plants that have become a part of the scenery in California.

Title: Temperate Grasslands Biome Description/ Definition: Temperate grassland covers large areas of the interior of continents‚ where there is moderate rainfall‚ but still too little for trees to grow (textbook). Climate and Location: The weather in the temperate grasslands includes hot summers and cold winters(Defender). Summers can reach up over 100 degree fahrenheit‚ and the winters can drop to 40 degree below 0 fahrenheit. Year round‚ the grasslands have about 10-35 inches of rain which mostly

between evergreen and deciduous trees.Temperate deciduous forests‚ a subgroup of temperate broadleaf forests‚ consist of trees that lose their leaves every year. Finally‚ temperate rainforests typically have heavy rainfall and dense humidity. In the temperate region‚ winters are mild and rainfall is moderate.The forests have trees‚ scrubs and bushes.There is less undergrowth. Most of the trees are deciduous‚ which shed their leaves during the autumn. In some areas‚ the deciduous trees are replaced by

In order for a population to survive certain variables must be in place‚ making the biome ideal to support life for that and the other species within that community. There are some species that depends solely on the type of climate and food web that is available in a particular biome‚ these species would be considered to be specialists. Other species are able to adapt to the change of climate and eat a variety of items which aids in
