Taiga Biome Essay By: Sam Kim and Kaelan Book Introduction to the Taiga The Taiga biome is the largest terrestrial biome. It is a vast forest that includes heavy snow‚ as well as a variety of different animals. This biome can be found in Alaska‚ Canada‚ as well as many places more. The geography of the Taiga has poor soil‚ tall trees‚ and is followed by the Tundra as well as the Permanent Ice caps. This terrestrial biome has both abiotic and biotic factors that can sustain an ecosystem. Sense the

Biomes and Diversity We as humans should be concerned with the extinction rate‚ because it is caused by human activities with toxics and polluntant chemicals that harm a healthy food flow in planting‚ and in fresh water. The loss of species will harm human and threat to human progress scientific studies can help prevent such loss. Also there are medical reasons as well‚ certain species on plants help to process opiates insulin and proteins to treat diseases. We should strive to continue the

Lakes: standing bodies of water range from ponds a few square meters in area to lakes covering thousands of square kilometers. Temperature lakes may have a seasonal thermocline; tropical lowland lakes have a thermocline year-round. Salinity‚ oxygen concentration‚ and nutrient content differ greatly among lakes and can vary with season. Wetlands: habitat that is inundates by water at least some of the time and that supports plants adapted to water-saturated soil. Some wetlands are inundated at all

The Alpine Biome What is a biome? Well‚ according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary‚ a biome is simply “a major ecological community type.” This is just a brief definition. In detail a biome is a large ecosystem that contains animals and plants that adapt in that certain type of environment. The climate and geography of the region determines the biome.

Oceanic Biome A Biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. There are a couple different types of biomes. There are six major groups of biomes which are; freshwater‚ marine‚ desert‚ forest‚ grassland‚ tundra. Then these six groups are broken down a bit father. In this paper we will discuss part of the marine biome which is the ocean biome. When one thinks of very large bodies of water such as the ocean‚ we are talking about marine biomes. Instead

Did you know that only 5.7% of employed women in the US are working in the computer industry? With such a low percentage it would be understandable to assume that it may be difficult to make a company based on computers to be a gender diversified workplace‚ but does that mean that it is impossible? How about for other fields of business? I chose the ethical issue of gender diversity in the workplace because I believe it is one that is still very popular and is still evolving‚ and can be viewed from

Tundra Biomes In the world there are about twelve biomes. The major biomes include deserts‚ forests‚ grasslands‚ tundra and several aquatic environments. A biome is large geographical area with special plants and animal groups and they are adapted to that type of environment. The Tundra biome is the coldest biome of the many biomes. It is separated into two types which are the arctic and alpine. The following information was gathered from a few websites which include Blue Planet Biome‚ National

The Taiga Biome is the largest biome‚ it Extends across Europe‚ Asia‚ and North America. The Taiga is known for having both Coniferous and boreal forest. Fires happen very often in the Taiga. There isn’t much diversity in the plants. They have lots of Conifer trees which is why it’s known to have the Coniferous forest. These trees are said to be evergreens which means they are green all year long‚ nor drop their leaves. A quick fun Fact: Most scientist believe that the Taiga biome was once completely
