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

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

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

Oceanic Biome A Biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. There are a couple different types of biomes. There are six major groups of biomes which are; freshwater‚ marine‚ desert‚ forest‚ grassland‚ tundra. Then these six groups are broken down a bit father. In this paper we will discuss part of the marine biome which is the ocean biome. When one thinks of very large bodies of water such as the ocean‚ we are talking about marine biomes. Instead

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

Did you know that the Arctic Tundra is one of the coldest but driest places on the Earth‚ but still supports life? I chose the Arctic Tundra as my biome because this is one of the most interesting places I have ever learned about. Animal Life There are only 48 land mammals that make this habitat their home. However‚ even though this zone has very few species the number of individuals in each species that make this biome a home for part of the year is very large. Take the massive herds of caribou
