months and summer isn’t much better. Average summer temperatures range from 64 to 72 degrees fahrenheit and taigas usually have only 50 to 100 frost free days. Taigas get around 33 inches of rain annually on average and despite what one may think the biome is actually quite humid. Due to low temperatures evaporation rates are low leaving the area with lots of excess moisture. The taiga (referred to as the Boreal Forest in this picture) is the pale yellow‚ stretching across the top of North America‚

at the library reading about marine organisms‚ their habitats‚ their adaptations‚ and how they interacted with other organisms. In middle school‚ I participated in a project that consisted of decorating the classroom to represent a biome‚ and I worked on the marine biome. In the summer before 10th grade‚ I visited Sea World and was exposed to an even larger variety of marine organisms than I had been before. That fall‚ in English class we had to write a paper on our career goals; I decided I would

precipitation will fall mainly as snow. The soil in the coniferous forest is poor and rocky. This happens because the tree’s roots (especially pines’) are deeply shallow. So the plants in the coniferous forest adapt to survive in these conditions. This biome is similar to tundra and deciduous forest‚ but there are some differences. The differences between the coniferous forest and tundra: In the tundra‚ it is windy like the coniferous forest. In the coniferous forest‚ it rains and snows. In the tundra

Biomes and Diversity Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? This is an interesting question. Lets consider the fact that it begins by stating extinction is a natural selection process. This seems to stifle one side of this argument.The side of the argument that rallies humans to be concerned with the extinction rate and strive to preserve a representation

Lemurs of Madagascar Name: Course: Tutor: Date: Lemurs of Madagascar 1. Madagascar biome is a tropical rain forest. The main characteristic of a tropical rain forest biome is the presence of Warm temperatures throughout the year. In a tropical rain forest biome‚ there are three layers. These layers include the top trees‚ followed by the canopy layer characterized by dens leaves hence low light penetration and the third layer are the ground layer. The ground layer lacks any vegetation owing to

Introduction I researched about savanna biome and I have found this really interesting. In this paper I’m going to talk about savanna climate (temperature‚ how much rain savanna gets per year)‚ where the savannas are and plants and animals and how they adapt themselves to survive. The last topic I’m going to talk about how can human help savanna and how do we affect savanna. About savanna A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated
