BIOMES LAB BIOL 120 `` A biome is a major complex of similar communities. It is the largest ecological unit we recognize. Different books vary in the number of biomes they list. Temperature and precipitation are the two key factors that determine the different type biomes. Some books consider marine ecosystems and freshwater systems as biomes. Others break out wetlands as a biome. We will look at 10 terrestrial biomes: 1. Tundra (Arctic and alpine) 2. Boreal forest or taiga

TUNDRA The Tundra is the coldest of all the Biomes and being situated in the extreme north of the planet has desert like conditions. It has extremely low temperatures‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons. There is a very low precipitation of less than five inches a year which is coupled with strong‚ dry winds. There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of
