There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of the ground. All vegetation and wildlife living in this biome band are extremely hardy and particularly specialised to survive in the Tundras extreme weather conditions. Typical

Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome Geographical Location The geographical locations of temperate deciduous forest biomes are in the eastern part of the United States and Canada‚ most of Europe‚ parts of China‚ and Japan. They are located between the polar regions and the tropics. Climate Conditions The weather of the temperate deciduous forest biome has four distinct changing seasons of winter‚ spring‚ summer‚ and fall. The seasons occur here because of the Earth’s tilt on its axis which allows

sulfur and phosphorous cycle. Their main reservoirs are in soil and rock sediments. Sulfur enters the cycle as hydrogen sulfide and is oxidized to sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide and water vapor makes sulfuic acid in the rainfall. It is then absorbed by plant roots and turned into amino acids traveling through the food chain and released by decomposition. In the phosporous cycle‚ phosporours is released through erosion or mining. It is then absorbed by roots and then travels through the food chains and

In typical circumstances‚ the roots of native plants absorb most water entering the dirt before it achieves the salt contained in groundwater underneath the plant root zone. On the other hand‚ widespread vegetation‚ poor area use‚ irrigation and modern practices have made it easier for salt to be transported to the dirt surface or to

Block B Photosynthesis Lab 12/6/12 Introduction: Photosynthesis is affected by light intensity‚ water‚ and temperature. Plants grow more abundantly because the weather is warm. Carbon Dioxide given off by animals is consumed by plants that replace the oxygen animals take it. Experimentation will help understanding how plants are vital because of the oxygen they release. If leaf disks in the experiment release oxygen‚ they will undergo photosynthesis and float. If there

If asked to define a freshwater habitat‚ we would almost immediately think of water and fishes. While it is true that those two components usually dominate- they are most evident there- a freshwater habitat is in fact a community of not just plants and animals‚ but of microorganisms as well. Also‚ not forgetting in the mix the non-living‚ biotic and components like soil‚ climate and water. Include all of that along with the complex interrelationships among the organisms and the environment‚ and we
