ecosystem has its own uniqueness. These unique areas can also be called a Biome. To define an Ecosystem‚ we say that there are numerous species of plants and animals that make homes in these different areas. This includes the physical and chemical parts of the environment. It also includes the acquiring and recycling nutrients‚ and the capture and flow of energy.

A biome can be described as an area on our earth that shares the same species‚ climate‚ animals‚ and plants. There are actually about 150 different classified biomes today. The main biomes are Marine‚ Tundra‚ Desert‚ Savannah‚ Grassland‚ Tropical Rain Forest‚ Deciduous Forest‚ and Coniferous Forest. 4. What is an ecosystem? An ecosystem includes all the

The temperate deciduous forest is a large biome‚ stretching across eastern and mid-America‚ Europe‚ and some of Eastern Asia and Japan. There is also some small areas of eastern Australia‚ and New Zealand…and some MORE in southern Chile and Argentina! Climate!!! (Cf) The biome is generally found in areas from 23˚ N to 38˚ S. It is in Köppen’s Cf category‚ the “C” being mild-mid latitude‚ and the “f” for

Invasive plants are often environmental threatening if they are capable to adapt the new environment. Under extreme circumstances‚ a biome can experience a drastic decrease with its biodiversity. Using an example that was told today during the volunteer session‚ English ivy‚ an invasive plant‚ is found everywhere in the Whitman Walk area. English ivy is known for its adaptability of shade

Biomes are defined based on factors such as plant structures (such as trees‚ shrubs‚ and grasses)‚ leaf types (such as broadleaf and needleleaf)‚ plant spacing (forest‚ woodland‚ savanna)‚ and climate. Unlike ecozonse‚ biomes are not defined by genetic‚ taxonomic‚ or historical similarities. Biomes are
