While they inhabit a multitude of biomes and ecoregions‚ few can be found beyond the tundras at the northernmost regions of continental shelves. At the southern extremes‚ plants have adapted tenaciously to the prevailing conditions. (See Antarctic flora.) Plants are often the dominant physical and structural component of habitats where they occur. Many of the Earth’s biomes are named for the type of vegetation because plants are the dominant organisms in those biomes‚ such as grasslands and forests

Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) Habitat & Geographic Range: The Canada goose population is spread throughout Canada and United States‚ and can live in different conditions of many biomes such as Tundra‚ Grasslands‚ Temperate regions‚ and Boreal Forest (Mowbray et al.‚ 2002). Their ability to inhabit variety of biomes allows incredibly wide range of habitats available for the Canada goose. Habitats range from cold arctic to temperate forests. They can be found near bodies of water such as lakes‚

In order for a population to survive certain variables must be in place‚ making the biome ideal to support life for that and the other species within that community. There are some species that depends solely on the type of climate and food web that is available in a particular biome‚ these species would be considered to be specialists. Other species are able to adapt to the change of climate and eat a variety of items which aids in

The same old tell that the earth is getting hotter‚ people say "ugh it’s snowing here‚ this means the earth is getting colder". Others see many different Biomes changing‚ and yes of course‚ it must be mother natural. Is no one going to blame themselves‚ is no one going to stand and say we must stop this. We did it with the Ozone‚ we can do it with the warming. We have to make a difference before this planet

balanced. A biome is a geographical location usually large in area with a certain types of animals and plants. One example of a biome is the desert. The desert is very dry. The only plants that can survive are drought resistant like cactus. The only animals that live in the desert must be able to survive with very little or no water like the kangaroo who gets all the moisture it needs from solid foods and the camel that stores water in its hump. Other examples of biomes are the tundra‚ where it is
