a similar house that I live in. Biome A biome is a geographical area that is very large in size. Each biome as a certain group of animals and plants that come with it. Examples of biomes are the tundra‚ desert‚ grassland‚ and wetlands just to name a few. The biome that I live in is the chaparral biome. It is very much like a desert except it receives more rainfall a year. Most of the plants in my biome are low lying plants that can retain water in their leaves.

Essay Of the Differences Between Desert And Coral Reef Coral reef and Desert ecosystem. The coral reef and desert ecosystem can be very similar or very different.The difference between the biotic and abiotic factors in the coral reef and the desert the ones in the coral reef live under water ‚and in the desert none of them live under water only some of the fish do. Some of the biotic animals in the coral reef are dolphins and seals. bivalves‚ gastropods‚ tunicates‚ sponges‚ polychaete and feather

Ecosystems Components SCI/256 A region that receives fewer than 10 inches of rain annually is considered a desert. This lack of precipitation loosely illustrates what encompasses the desert ecosystem. Although there are many cold deserts around the globe‚ for the purpose of analysis‚ the focus of this paper will be hot desert ecosystems. The extreme heat of the day in some deserts can reach above 120 degrees and drop down below 32 degrees (National Geographic‚ 1996-2013). These temperature extremes
