Savanna The savanna is a tropical biome monopolized by grasses‚ shrubs‚ and small trees. It’s grassland cover western India‚ northern Australia‚ South America‚ and other parts in Africa. In this biome it is very warm‚ there is little precipitation so there is not a lot of tall trees more like shrubs and bushes. A savanna is categorized between a tropical rainforest and a desert biome it is right in the middle of them. Savannas are created when humans burn grasslands and cut down trees kind of

What is a biome? A biome is an area of the planet that can be classified according to the plants and animals that live in it. Temperature‚ soil‚ and the amount of light and water help determine what life exists in a biome. It is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and non-living things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example‚ an aquatic biome can contain

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

Biomes and Diversity The importance of Biomes is regulated and should be preserved by the environment for which any particular organism is located. The ecosystems composed in relation to the Biomes differ from region to region so a controlled system most be established to balance the growth of dominant inviters. This can help stop the lose of any one particular Biome. One for instance of lose of Biomes accrued when humans take over land for the development of homes‚ mini malls‚ and so on

A biome‚ also known as life zones‚ consists of all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its’ plant life‚ climate‚ and location. The climate and physical features determine the boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra‚ taiga‚ tropical rain forest‚ temperate

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

Luis Perez 11/23/10 6th The Tundra Biome Being the coldest and least filled with plant life‚ the tundra biome is noted as frost-molded landscapes with extreme temperatures. The tundra biome has low biotic diversity‚ low precipitation‚ and all around low‚ cold temperatures. The average temperature of the biome varies going from -25’C to 3’C between the months of January to July‚ then reverting from 3’C to -25’C between the months of July to December. Through those temperatures it causes a cycle

The Freshwater Biome By Lauren Finnis The freshwater biome is a complex biome that can be found all over the world. There are two major types of freshwater biomes. The first type is lotic or running which include rivers and streams. Lentic or standing is the second type; those include lakes and ponds. Since this biome is found worldwide‚ the species that reside in it can vary extensively‚ but usually it contains several species of fish‚ plants‚ and insects. Predation is a way of life in the freshwater

Research Paper The ocean is one of‚ if not‚ the largest biome on earth. There are more than one million species of marine life. Covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface‚ the ocean is our planet’s largest habitat‚ containing 99 percent of the living space on the planet. This area holds the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth. Like lakes‚ oceans are subdivided into separate zones: intertidal‚ pelagic‚ abyssal‚ and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species. The
