Chapter 40 1. If you are a biologist interested in working in the tropical rainforest‚ briefly describe a research study you could complete at each level in the biological hierarchy‚ starting from the organismal level to the biosphere. 2. What are the two abiotic variables that dictate type of terrestrial biome? Do aquatic and marine systems rely on the same two variables? Why or why not? 3. Which of the terrestrial biomes is the most vulnerable to anthropogenic (human) influence and why?

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 The biosphere II was originally made for 8 scientists to endure locked inside the Biosphere for two years‚ without any supplies!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

There are many different ways that the human species have impacted the biomes‚ such activities like Agriculture‚ Mining‚ Industry‚ Urbanisation and many more. Agriculture impacts the water quality which can modify the nutrient cycle of water and earthly ecosystems. It also changes the land cover‚ which modifies hydrological

Globally‚ biodiversity is not evenly distributed. It generally increases from the poles towards the equator as around 50% of the world’s plants and animals live in tropical rainforests. This is because of the proximity to the equator causing a warmer‚ more moist‚ stable
