Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? I personally believe that we are already preserving when it comes to wondering if we are going to become extincted. We as human have a hard time not reproducing‚ this meaning most humans that become married usually begin having children within the first 5 years of their marriage if they haven’t married and already have children. This being said we may not leave an

While they inhabit a multitude of biomes and ecoregions‚ few can be found beyond the tundras at the northernmost regions of continental shelves. At the southern extremes‚ plants have adapted tenaciously to the prevailing conditions. (See Antarctic flora.) Plants are often the dominant physical and structural component of habitats where they occur. Many of the Earth’s biomes are named for the type of vegetation because plants are the dominant organisms in those biomes‚ such as grasslands and forests

The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be called the zone of life on Earth‚ a closed (apart from solar and cosmic radiation)‚ and self-regulating system.[1] From the broadest biophysiologicalpoint of view‚ the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships‚ including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved‚ beginning through a process of biogenesis or biopoesis

TUNDRA CLIMATE The tundra biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and treeless‚ frozen landscapes. There are two types of tundra‚ the arctic tundra and the alpine tundra . ARCTIC TUNDRA The arctic tundra is located in the extreme northern hemisphere around the North Pole. This area experiences low amounts of precipitation and extremely cold temperatures for most of the year. The arctic tundra typically receives less than 10 inches of precipitation per year (mostly in the form of

Name: ______________________________ The Tropical Rainforest Rainforest Series‚ Part 1 - by Mikki Sadil Tropical rainforests are among the most mysterious of all geographical biomes in the world. A biome is an area with very distinctive plants and animals that have adapted to life in that particular environment. Rainforests have covered large portions of the Earth for millions of years‚ and can have trees that are 1‚000 years-old or more. They are called rainforests because they are among the
