"SAVANNA Biome" What is a SAVANNA BIOME? * Savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands. What is the CLIMATE in a Savanna? * The Savanna biome has a wet/dry climate. Its Köppen climate group is Aw. The A stands for a tropical climate‚ and the w for a dry season in the winter. * In the wet season‚ all of the plants are lush and the rivers flow freely

Antarctic Biome Antarctica‚ you could definitely say is a chunk of ice and snow two times as big as the US‚ but as you look deeper beyond the surface of the ice‚ many intriguing and breathtaking relationships in the ecosystem occur. Antarctica is not just a chunk of snow it is a continent‚ it is home to gigantic ice shelves‚ mountains‚ ice bergs and even volcanoes that support all and many forms of life. It is one of the harshest continents in the whole entire world with no permanent human residence

Lakes: standing bodies of water range from ponds a few square meters in area to lakes covering thousands of square kilometers. Temperature lakes may have a seasonal thermocline; tropical lowland lakes have a thermocline year-round. Salinity‚ oxygen concentration‚ and nutrient content differ greatly among lakes and can vary with season. Wetlands: habitat that is inundates by water at least some of the time and that supports plants adapted to water-saturated soil. Some wetlands are inundated at all

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

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

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

The Desert Biome Natashia Granger Bio/101 The Desert The desert is a dry barren area of land; it is in the Southwestern United States or areas of extreme heat and dryness. Deserts characteristically receive less than ten inches of precipitation a year. About one fifth of Earth’s surface is desert. Desert can be hot or cold

In the Alaskan Tundra‚ abiotic factors include wind‚ temperature‚ and sunlight. Abiotic factors are nonliving things that influence or affect the ecosystem and the organisms in it. Factors such as wind‚ temperature‚ and sunlight can have a lasting effect on an ecosystem such as an Arctic Tundra. In the Alaskan Tundra‚ strong and persistent winds rush through the air. These winds desiccate and abrade plant tissues‚ contributing to one of the many factors of why tundras aren’t able to grow trees.

Bamboo- The Bambusa tulda can be found in the biome of the Southeast Asian rainforest. It often grows as an undergrowth scattered or in patches in the forest. It does very well in a moist environment with a lot of rainfall. Durian- The durian is thought to be one of Southeast Asia’s most ancient and
