Introduction A forest is a complex ecosystem which is predominantly composed of trees‚ shrubs and is usually a closed canopy. Forests are storehouses of a large variety of life forms such as plants‚ mammals‚ birds‚ insects and reptiles etc. Also the forests have abundant microorganisms and fungi‚ which do the important work of decomposing dead organic matter thereby enriching the soil. Nearly 4billion hectares of forest cover the earth’s surface‚ roughly 30 percent of its total land area.The forest ecosystem

World Biomes Task 2: Main characteristics of grasslands. Grassland biomes are ecosystems predominantly consisting of a diverse range of grasses. Grasslands are generally flat terrains of rolling grass which are vast and continuous. The widespread of grasslands occurred during the Miocene and Pliocene Epochs in Western North America‚ where continental climates became favourable to grasslands as a result of the rise

A biome‚ also known as life zones‚ consists of all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its’ plant life‚ climate‚ and location. The climate and physical features determine the boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra‚ taiga‚ tropical rain forest‚ temperate

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
