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.

Swamps or Wetlands Biome Swampland is the most common type of wetland biome you will find. Most people see wetlands as not important or as a nuisance. In a wetland biome the water is always going to be standing still. You will find them in many low lying areas. It is common for them to be very close to lakes‚ rivers‚ and streams. They may have water in them all the time or only during particular times of the year. Plant matter is released into freshwater biomes from a wetland biome. The importance

of our vegetation consists of grasses‚ and some grow under very difficult conditions because of the climate in the grasslands. Grasses also developed unique characteristics to survive. The climate in the grassland biome is slightly drier than the climate in the deciduous forest biome. The temprature ranges from 20 c to 30 c. The average rainfall varies in the grassland from 10 to 40 inches year around. Fires in the grassland can cause the grasslands to thrive. The grass that gets burned enriches
