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

there are cold ocean currents. Each region in which the Mediterranean shrublands and woodlands occur is island-like in character and thus there is frequently a high degree of endemism. Comparative studies of the several regional expressions of this biome reveal interesting examples of convergent evolution in plant families and birds (but not among reptiles or small mammals) on the different continents. Climate: The Mediterranean Climate (Cs) is unique in that the wet season coincides with the low

Since there are large amounts of rainfall in the temperate forest regions there is a wide variety of plant life in the temperate forests. There plants can be considered the producers for this biome and include maple trees‚ walnut trees‚ birch trees‚ dogwoods‚ redbuds‚ azaleas‚ mountain laurel‚ huckleberries‚ blue bead lily‚ indian cucumber‚ linchens

AP Biology Summer Assignment Chapter 50.1: An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the scientific study of how organisms interact with the environment. When studying Ecology scientists want to know‚ where organisms live‚ why they live there‚ and how many are there. Ecology and environmental biology both stem from Darwin’s interest and observations upon the distribution of organisms and how they adapted to their specific environment. Darwin concluded that the environment interacting

The great biodiversity in the tropical rainforest is most probably contributed to the fact that it has a good amount of rainfall and it also has dry seasons. This results in the optimal climate for many different species to thrive and successfully reproduce. 9.
