Soils of the tropical savannas The soils of the tropical savannas‚ along with the distinctive wet/dry climate‚ are a major determinant of vegetation in the region‚ and of potential land uses. Soil is an outcome of five broad factors: parent material‚ climate‚ relief/slope‚ time and organisms. | Infertile soils Given the variations in all of these in the savannas it is no surprise that there are many different soil types in evidence in northern Australia. Generally speaking the combination of these

In order for a population to survive certain variables must be in place‚ making the biome ideal to support life for that and the other species within that community. There are some species that depends solely on the type of climate and food web that is available in a particular biome‚ these species would be considered to be specialists. Other species are able to adapt to the change of climate and eat a variety of items which aids in

growing and balanced. A biome is a geographical location usually large in area with a certain types of animals and plants. One example of a biome is the desert. The desert is very dry. The only plants that can survive are drought resistant like cactus. The only animals that live in the desert must be able to survive with very little or no water like the kangaroo who gets all the moisture it needs from solid foods and the camel that stores water in its hump. Other examples of biomes are the tundra‚ where

The tropical rainforest and tropical savannah are two of the ten major global terrestrial biomes of the world. While they are both located on or near equatorial regions‚ varying differences in climate‚ biodiversity‚ ecology‚ and soils characterize each region. Even though both are under the larger categorization of being “tropical”‚ the similarities end there‚ as each biome has its unique features that set it apart. However‚ these unique characteristics may become the source of a biome’s downfall
