➢ Competing – Two species compete with another species for resources such as food‚ water‚ or territory ➢ Biomes – major types of ecosystems that occupy very broad geographic regions. ➢ Photic zone is where there is enough light for photosynthesis to occur and an aphotic zone‚ where very little light penetrates. ➢ Benthic zone - is located at the bottom of the biome ➢ Oligotrophic lakes are deep lakes that are nutrient-poor and oxygen-rich and contain sparse phytoplankton.

Living in the thick vine tree and not coming out until night protects it. The Amazon is a tropical rainforest. Each year the Amazon Rainforest gets about 9 feet of rain. During the months of maximum precipitation‚ broad areas traversed by the Amazon are subject to severe floods. The Amazon contains more species of fauna and flora than any other

What feature of a tropical forest accounts for the great biodiversity? The great biodiversity in the tropical rainforest is most probably contributed to the fact that it has a good amount of rainfall and it also has dry seasons. This results in the optimal climate for many different species to thrive and successfully
