A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem that occurs roughly within 28 degrees north or south of the equator (equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). They are characterised by their humidity (average of 88% in the rainy season and 77% in the dry season)‚ hot temperature (average 27.9 °C during the dry season and 25.8 °C during the rainy season) but more importantly their extremely high rainfall (torrential rainfall - between 1‚500 mm and 3‚000 mm annually).

Biomes and their Characteristics There are nine biomes in the world they are: Mountains- Very cold lack of oxygen when altitude is higher and there are alot of glaziers Tundra- It is very cold not much diversity and there are two types of tundra. Arctic and Alpine. Temperate Forest- There are wide leaves and non-seasonal vegetation and mixed forests. Marine Island- Islands are cold at night and usually has good surf. Marine ecosystems has no oxygen and full of life. Desert- Barely any plants

its ecosystems is to categorize it into groups called biomes. Biomes are arranged by specific environmental conditions (i.e. rainfall‚ temperature‚ and humidity) and house specific types of vegetation or factors that allow organisms adapt to these environments. Cataloguing organisms that share similar adaptations makes it easier to study all the environments found on Earth (Lomolino et al‚ 2017). The profile of the Earth and all its biomes have changed drastically over millions of years due to

Aquatic Biomes An aquatic biome is an ecological community dominated by water. This biome can be broken down into two categories: o Freshwater‚ which includes rivers‚ streams‚ ponds‚ lakes and freshwater wetland. o Marine or saltwater‚ which includes oceans‚ seas‚ estuaries‚ coral reefs and saltwater wetland. Each of these aquatic ecosystems can be defined by variables such as temperature‚ the presence or absence of light‚ and the availability of nutrients. Aquatic biomes cover almost all the

My biome is terrestrial. It is found in South America‚Africa‚and Asia.The thing that is unique about my biome is that there are certain features common to all tropical rainforest. Some producers and consumers are a plant and the butterfly eats the leaves off the trees and plants which makes the butterfly a primary consumer. Next the frog eats the butterfly which makes the frog a secondary consumer.After that the snake eats the frog which makes the snake a tertiary consumer.Finally when the snake

Identifying the Rainforest The Mt Keira rainforest is located in Wollongong‚ New South Wales in Australia. The Mt Keira rainforest is what we call a subtropical rainforest. There are four types of rainforest: Tropical‚ subtropical‚ warm-temperate and cool-temperate. Tropical rainforests have generally have a warmer climate than subtropical rainforests. Warm-temperate rainforest are slightly cooler than subtropical rainforests‚ and cool-temperate rainforests have very cool climates‚ i.e. Canada
