Tropical Rain Forest The Tropical Rainforest is a very diverse Biome. Being diverse means that many different types of animals‚ plants and climates. It is in my personal opinion the greatest biome that exists in today’s world. This biome is home to 50% of the plants and animals on the Earth. The Tropical Rainforest is present on just 2% of the world. The Rainforest is home to many different species of animals. Some of them include butterflies‚ beetles‚ spiders‚ ticks‚ worms‚ snakes‚ lizards‚ jaguars

Savannas are located in many parts of the world‚ especially in Africa. Nearly half of Africa is considered to be a Savanna‚ it is the largest of them all. The African Savanna biome is located between latitudes of 15 degrees North and 30 degrees South. Here‚ the ecosystem includes warm temperatures year-round with high seasonal rain in the summer. Dry seasons bring about four inches of rain and occur about seven months in the year. In the months of October to March this dry period happens in the southern

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

A Biome is a large natural area on Earth where specific types of plants and vegetation grow. (Kalman‚ 1997). It is a large area where the form of life of climatic vegetation is uniform and also reflects the key features of the climate which also maps out the structural form and nature of the habitat for animals. (Odum‚ 1997). The climate‚ soil-types and animal life are all constituents of a Biome. There can be numerous ecosystems in any single Biome. This is due to the fact that there are many different

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

project was over the tropical rainforest biome. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50-260 inches (125-660) cm of rain falls yearly. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100-300 species in one 2 ½ acre area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as the location

Terrestrial biomes are characterized by their prevailing vegetation‚ and are primarily classified by rainfall and temperature. Biomes all have certain characteristics such as microorganisms‚ fungi‚ and animals which have adapted to their particular environment. There are eight major terrestrial biomes; tropical forest‚ desert‚ savanna‚ chaparral‚ temperate grassland‚ coniferous forest‚ temperate broadleaf forest‚ and tundra. The tropical forest can be separated into two categories; tropical rainforest

Tropical grasslands (Savanna) Climate There are two main seasons in the African savanna- winter‚ or the “dry season”‚ and summer‚ also known as the “wet season”. They are called dry and wet according to the amount of precipitation each season receives. Most of the annual precipitation in the savanna occurs during summer (approx. April to October)‚ while during the winter (approx. November to March) there is almost no rain at all. The annual precipitation is
