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 trees‚ which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert

(4) The rainforest act as natural cleaners of the environment and help the atmosphere and ourselves by transforming carbon dioxide into Oxygen with the help of the Sun. Nowadays about twenty percent of the greenhouse gases are the effect of tropical rainforest deforestation alone. The way that deforestation impacts our world also affects the water cycle of earth as trees from rainforest whom used to extract groundwater from the earth and release

there are cold ocean currents. Each region in which the Mediterranean shrublands and woodlands occur is island-like in character and thus there is frequently a high degree of endemism. Comparative studies of the several regional expressions of this biome reveal interesting examples of convergent evolution in plant families and birds (but not among reptiles or small mammals) on the different continents. Climate: The Mediterranean Climate (Cs) is unique in that the wet season coincides with the low

Did you know that the biosphere II is a 7.2 million cubic foot greenhouse? The Biosphere II was made to be a mini- world‚ which was meant to mimic Biosphere I‚ The Earth. The Biosphere II has 7 different biomes including‚ and ocean‚ a desert‚ a savannah‚ a marsh‚ and a tropical rainforest. The biosphere II was originally made for 8 scientists to endure locked inside the Biosphere for two years‚ without any supplies! The plan looked perfect‚ but like everything in life problems quickly appeared
