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 soil‚ which allows new plants to grow. Some of the wild flowers can only sprout there seeds unless a searing heat. Fire also helps certain plants from growing that could change the

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. All four zones have a great diversity of species. The

The restoration of the regions in San Francisco Estuary are based on many applications from water use‚ land use‚ dredging and waterway modification‚ wetlands management‚ and the pollution prevention and reduction fazes. I will be taking a look at the aspects of the pollution prevention and reduction within the San Francisco Estuary program. Estuaries are unique‚ dynamic transition zones‚ between the watershed and the world ocean system. In this paper I will try to discuss the abiotic and biotic

grass-covered region with scattered shrubs‚ bushes‚ and isolated trees‚ which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. A savanna is one type of grassland biome. The temperatures of savannas differ according to its season. During the dry season the temperatures are either very hot or cold. In the wet season the temperature is usually warm. If the savanna biome were to receive a little less rain it would become a desert. If it got a little more it would become temperate grassland. Savannas

The marine biome is one of the largest biomes on the earth. It spans three fourths of the earths surface. It includes all five oceans the Arctic‚ Indian‚ Southern‚ Atlantic‚ and Pacific. In it There are many many types of fish and also some mammals. The oceans span wide and deep. There are also plants in the ocean. The ocean is a vast and mysterious place where we are still discovering many things about it everyday. The physical attributes of the ocean depend on which ocean you explore‚for example

is a situation in which two organisms are associated in a relationship in which one benefits from the relationship and the other is not affected much. The two animals are called commensals. This is one type of symbiosis. An example is bromeliads (plants living on trees in rainforests) and frogs; the frogs get shelter and water from the bromeliad‚ but the bromeliad is unaffected. Predator/ Prey- Predators also use camouflage so they can sneak up on their preThe Bengal tiger is a carnivore. It eats

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes‚ Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia‚ meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes‚ extremely low temperatures‚ little precipitation‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons.A climate is a habitat around the world. The Tundra has snow everywhere and has very short growing seasons which means plants are hard to grow and farmers or whoever is planting crops need to plant early summer or fast enough before summer ends.
