I arrived at this conclusion by comparing the two climatogram graphs and noticing a striking resemblance. The precipitation and temperature were almost exactly the same. Although they have similar qualities‚ the two climatograms also have many distinct differences. In our local biome we can observe that there is more rain in the summer months.

The Island of Madagascar consists of three different biomes‚ being tropical dry forest‚ tropical rain forest‚ and desert. In a tropical rain forest biome temperatures remain warm thought the year and precipitation occurs on an almost daily basis.

is that they are located A biome is a geographically defined area of ecologically similar communities of plants‚ animals‚ and soil organisms‚ often referred to as ecosystems. Biomes are defined based on factors such as plant structures (such as trees‚ shrubs‚ and grasses)‚ leaf types (such as broadleaf and needleleaf)‚ plant spacing (forest‚ woodland‚ savanna)‚ and climate. Unlike ecozonse‚ biomes are not defined by genetic‚ taxonomic‚ or historical similarities. Biomes are

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.

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

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
