Biome

described as beautiful and majestic. When the leaves fall down from the trees down to the soil, the nutrients in the leaves are being absorbed by the soil. The soils of the temperate deciduous forest tend to be very fertile. Also, because of this, the biome has fertile soil and a long, 5-6 month growing season. Many of the Temperate Deciduous Forests have been converted into agricultural regions. The average temperature in the forest is about 50° Fahrenheit. When the seasons change the forest…

ecosystems and food chains in the taiga. The taiga is the largest terrestrial biome and it extends across europe. A food chain in the taiga startes with fruit which is the producer, then red-breasted nuthatch which is the primary consumer. The next part of the food chain is the western whiptail which is secondary consumer. The coyote is the tertiary consumer. Interesting thing about the taiga. The taiga is the largest biome on earth. Taiga is warmer and wetter than the tundra. The taiga is…

1. What is the Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII)? (p. 289) a. The Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII) is the average abundance of originally present species across a broad range of species, relative to abundance in an undisturbed habitat. 2. What four pressure variables were investigated? (p. 290) a. The four pressure variables that this paper focused on were land use, land-use intensity, human population density, and proximity to the nearest road. 3. The “average local abundance of…

elimination of the native grass as they stabilize the soil for the woody species to move in areas with ease. The problem is complex as the nonnative grass cannot be burned in a control manner like other species of plants in other biomes but also due in part by the inner west biome. Moreover, more fire in regions only helps the nonnative species increase in population as the cycle in which they can handle fire is much shorter than the usual summer for dessert and years for mountainous natives.…

Guinean Forests found in West Africa are shrinking dramatically every year, the decrease in the forests’ size endangers the lives of many species. Considered to be on of the most diverse places on Earth, the Guinean Forests are unlike the Sahara Desert biome north of it. The environment is of a tropical rainforest with hot and humid air year around, this environment receives on average over 80 inches of rain a year (Khaligian, 2012). This African hotspot is home to thousands of plants and…

had a twin. The population of the Earth doubled almost everyday. The leaders of the World Chargers Center (WC) created a new law to separate twins at birth. Later, when both of the twins turned 17, they are placed in a random biome in the world; which the WC calls the Biome Zones. Before they enter, they are brainwashed and properly trained so they know what…

Ecology Essay All animals are a big part of everything without them it would be pretty hard to live. I believe bears are very important for many ecosystems. The bear is a predator which hunts for food and has a habitat’s near water and tree’s. So they can hunt other species like fishes, deer, and etc. Most animals discovered right now are extremely endangered to extinction. Polar bears are in a cold and snowy habitat above North America. The polar bear is a predator so it has competition with…

of food security in the area and its effects There is around 66 million Brazilians that still face daily food insecurity there food rank of food insecurity 36 with is very good they get there food from all around the world The biomes of the country There are two biomes in Brazil and they are the Amazon Rain Forest and the Savannah Amazon Rain Forest The Amazon Rain Forest covers about 60% of Brazil. Most of Brazilian wildlife is found in the Amazon Rain Forest and there are about 55,000…
