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.

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

Loss of Species Every year a new species gets placed on the endangered species list‚ extinction is a natural process but due to human activity there has been a rapid decline in the wild species population. Loss of habitat or alteration‚ hunting‚ introduction of foreign species‚ and disease are major culprits in the extinction rate. The protection of species is an important element to the survival of biodiversity as well as human sustainability. The loss of a species means humans will lose out

Oceanic Biome A Biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. There are a couple different types of biomes. There are six major groups of biomes which are; freshwater‚ marine‚ desert‚ forest‚ grassland‚ tundra. Then these six groups are broken down a bit father. In this paper we will discuss part of the marine biome which is the ocean biome. When one thinks of very large bodies of water such as the ocean‚ we are talking about marine biomes. Instead
