Biome

A Tundra is a biome with little tree growth and low temperature. The Tundra is the coldest of all of the biomes it’s temperature is between 60 to 75 Degrees latitude. This biome is best noted for its snowy landscape and extreme low temperatures. Tundras are covered in snow for most of the year until the summer. The summer in the Tundras are cool in temperature. Lots of the snow melts into soggy marshes and bogs. The daytime temperatures during the summer rise to about 12 °C (54 °F) but my drop…

Arctic Tundra Referred as “treeless plain”   Earth's coldest biome!  Earth's youngest biome! (formed 10,000 years ago) Located in the Northern Hemisphere (Alaska, Canada, and Siberia)   Known for its cold, desert like conditions Average Temperature (Winter): -34° C (-30° F)  Average Temperature (Summer): 3-12° C (37-54° F)  Arctic Tundra Wide variety of plants (1,700 kinds of plants)   Short growing season (50 – 60 Days)  Carbon Sink (Stored in permafrost) Animals…

Task #7 My ecosystem has been affected significantly by humans both positively and negatively. The positive impacts have led to increasing the diversity of species as well as attracting civilians. Throughout the recent years, different kinds of fish have been added to the lake. This has allowed the fish population as well as the lake diversity to increase significantly. The introduction of a new species to the lake provides many opportunities socially as well as environmentally. However, the…

Rainfall in grassland biomes can vary from 250mm to 800mm per year (LeFebre, 2016). As a result, grasslands tend to be located away from major water sources and experience dry seasons or in some cases many years of drought (LeFebre, 2016). Grasses and plants typical to grasslands…

Overall Description Savannas are characterized by flat, grassy plains with few trees. The word “savanna” comes from zabana in Taino (a language used by a now-extinct Native American group that lived in the Bahamas). Zabana was used to describe vast, dry, and treeless fields, but definition has expanded over time to even include grasslands of Florida and plains with palm trees in Venezuela. Climate Savannas normally undergo wet summers and dry winters. During the dry season, most of the little…

description of a generic savanna, but the Oregon Oak Savanna in Oregon is no where near generic. The Oregon Oak Savanna is home to many plants and animals that are massively influential on the human race. One of the most important organisms in this biome is a little pollinator with yellow and black stripes: the bee. Lately, bees have been facing a population decline, and sadly people just do not seem to care. People need to help restore the bees because bees are a very important part of everyday…

There are very many types of climates throughout the world. Climate varies depending on the location on the globe. The Tundra and the Humid Subtropics have two very different climates. The Tundra is generally very cold. While the Humid Subtropics are generally much warmer. The Tundra is very cold. Tundra climate is usually found between the 60-75 degree latitude lines. Tundra climate is mainly found along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Tundra is a transition climate between Ice Cap and…

Everyone in this world values something. Some people value an electronic device, a blanket, their parents, but what about a home? Some people in this world aren't lucky enough to have a home. It's reasonable to say you value your parents because they put a roof over your head, but when you leave to live on your own, what happens then? You have to find a way to live on your own, same as the animals and plants in Florida's Everglades. No not only Florida's Everglades, but the wetlands of the…

Wetland loss is a vast problem in coastal Louisiana. From 1932 to 2010, approximately 4900 km2 of wetlands have disappeared from the Louisiana coast, mainly from erosion and, subsidence, and sediment depletion from the construction of levees, dams, and canals. The depletion of the barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico will allow for uninterrupted coastal erosion. With sea level rise expected to be a catalyst for coastal erosion throughout the 21st century, future land loss is projected to be…

sustains. However, what characteristics makes a biome and how do those characteristics shape what a biome is? Researcher claim things like climate and landforms make up areas like biomes. Through research and studies, one can accumulate ideas as to how earth’s characteristics make up its biomes. There are many different types of biomes but three are seven main types that can be split up into sub biomes. Two biomes, like the rainforest biome and the forest biomes can help determine ideas and…
