Biome

recognized by its long tail, large black spots and almost white coat. Declining due to loss of habitat and climate change, there are as few of 4000 snow leopards in the wild. The earth has six major biomes. Tropical, grassland, desert, temperate, taiga and tundra. The snow leopard lives within the tundra biome. The snow leopard has thick fur and dark spots. These features help the snow leopard adapt and survive in this type of climate and within its habitat. The fur makes a camouflage…

Introduction: Bacteria and Fungi are important contributors of the living life. They however differ in their colony/ color/ size/shape/appearance. Bacteria are generally small in size but large in colonial structure, they are usually in the form of coccus, bacillus and spirillum, many times bacteria are of vivid colors because they have chlorophyll which also absorbs the light of different wavelengths which create natural colors of brown, pink, blue, orange and purple. Fungi on the other…

QUESTIONS 1. Is the diversity of mesoherbivores and grasses increased by mesoherbivore grazing and fire? 2. Is soil stability increased by increased mesoherbivore grazing and fire? HYPOTHESIS 1. It is hypothesised that holistic management and planned grazing via mesoherbivores will increase grass diversity and soil stability better than fire because mesoherbivores contribute more to the environment by increasing nutrients in the soil with mulch. They also keep the grass short and in a…

habitat in which they develop, plays a major role when planting and growing them. These habitats, or biomes, are classified into two domains: terrestrial and aquatic. The cabbage palmetto grows in a wide variety of habitats, but they tend to be more prevalent in areas where the water table is close to the surface (“Cabbage Palmetto”). The areas in which these plants reside are included in terrestrial biomes. Sabal palms tend to grow near bodies of water, due to a warmer microclimate being…

James Lovelock, fundamentally formulated the theory that our Earth is unique and complex because the Earth is a self-regulating system that replenishes itself for the species, in order to maintain homeostasis, within the system. Lovelock interestingly familiarizes our Earth to the nature of human beings, such as the Earth’s skin are forests that sweat to preserve the cooling of the Earth, while the oceans are rivers of blood that flow through the veins of Earth transporting nutrients and washing…

Biome is a group of ecosystems related by similar types of vegetation with similar climatic conditions. For example: desert, tropical rain forests, artic tundra, etc. Biotic are living things in an ecosystem. For example humans, animal, bacteria and fungi…

trades they found themselves in the Atlantic Ocean. They are also causing havoc in their new habitat. They find reefs and live their but, they are overpopulating the Atlantic. They also live in artificial reefs like sunken ships.They live in a pelagic biome, which is means they live in the open ocean. Next, lionfish have infected the environments in the Atlantic ocean and are destroying them little by little. They have over populated the Atlantic and they all have to eat something. That…

that the terms ecosystem and biome although related and somewhat similar in fact refer to two separate things. The terms cannot an should not be used interchangeably. An ecosystem refers to a small area where different organisms interact with one another and their environment. An ecosystems can be either terrestrial or aquatic in nature. Where as a biome refers to a much larger geographical usually defined by the dominant plant species or climatic conditions Biomes may contain several…

Aquatic Biomes are the homes to water animals all over the world. They hold the key to their lives by containing oxygen, nutrients, and other things that the fish require, just as the ground and air do for humans. Coral reefs are the most diverse biome on earth. This show just how important aquatic life is, not only to humans, but to the survival of the planet. The United States depends greatly on oil and gasoline. When North and South Carolina had an oil spill, there was no gasoline around –…
