Biome Essays

The reef biome and the rainforest biome are two of the most diverse and fascinating biomes on our planet. Both biomes are characterized by high biodiversity, complex ecological interactions, and unique environmental conditions. Despite their many similarities, these two biomes are different in several ways, including their distribution, physical characteristics, and ecological functions. The reef biome is a marine biome that is characterized by shallow, sunlit waters, and high levels of biodiversity

Research The name of my biome is the Savanna My biome is called the Savanna. A Savanna is described a large area of grass which contains some trees, and is typically found in warm tropical areas. Climate and Location: The Savanna is a of very dry hot place so it found in places like some parts of Australia, and of course Africa. The dominant plants in a Savanna are mostly grass, a little bit of trees and shrubs. The Savanna for the most part is hot and dry, but the plants have a way to survive

Biome Description: The Savanna is one of many biomes in the world. It is characterized by its warm climate, lack of rain, grasslands, and its scattering of small trees and bushes. Many people see the Savanna as a midway point of a tropical rainforest and a desert. Climate and Location: Savanna biomes are located near the equator, therefore the climate, for the most part, is very warm. Ironically, this biome has very dry winters but very wet summers. During the winter season only an estimated

plants and 10 animals 1: Title: Tundra 2:Biome Description/Definition: Tundra has a biome where the temperatures are almost always really low. Due to low temperatures Growth of trees and plants have diminished, leaving low habitants of animals roaming the area. There are three different types of tundras: Arctic Tundra, Alpine Tundra, and Antarctic Tundra. 3:Climate and Location: The tundra has one of the coldest climates known to man.The tundra biome has harsh winds, and consists of mostly snow

Biome: Desert Biome description/definition: The desert biome is a very hot region that covers 20% of earth that receives a little bit of rainfall. Climate and location: The desert climate is usually very dry and very hot , some locations of deserts are in egypt, Arizona , Uth, etc . Dominant plants & their adaptations: Cactus is the dominant plant because they are able to survive in the desert animals and humans try to harm it but the spines on the cactus protect it from them. The water they

The savannas make up much of Africa’s biomes, the Serengeti is one. The Serengeti is classified as one of the oldest ecosystems of living things. The way the biome works is a wonderful example of God’s goodness and creation of unforgettable s animal that are only found in this part of the world. Diverse wildlife and vast landscapes make the Serengeti a unique African biome. First of all, what is a biome? A biome is simply a place on earth that is classified by it’s animal and plant species

Biomes are places that share similar climate and life form. Biomes are also referred to ecosystems. There are five main groups of biomes: forest, desert, grassland, tundra and aquatic. I chose to do aquatic biomes because there are a lot of uses that this particular biome provides. The Aquatic biome covers three quarters of our plant, there is a wide variety of marine wildlife and many different plants, corals and algae. Being one of the largest biomes, the aquatic biome varies in temperature due

ave you ever wonder what it’s like in a rainforest biome? A rainforest is a type of biome that have many tall trees with a warm climate year round and have many rainfall yearly. Daintree Rainforest is one of the rainforest biome on the Earth. The Daintree Rainforest is one of the oldest rainforest on Earth. It’s located in the region northeast of Queensland, Australia, north of Mossman and Cairns. It has the latitude and longitude of 16.1700°S and 145.4185°E with an elevation of 1270 meters. The

Threats One of problems and threats Savanna has are based on the way it has few trees and a much wide open space than other biomes do. The native animals that are already on this grassland provides an increase in the animal population. This decreases the amount of food available and can cause the animals that were at the savanna biome first to be forced to migrate to a different biome or to be left with no choice but to die from starvation or fighting for food from the other animals. Another problem

I chose Wetlands to be my 3rd grade unit theme. The content of wetlands will be carried across many content areas, such as, math, science, social studies, and language arts. Wetlands are commonly only a science topic, but through the use of seed strategies and informational reading, all subject areas can be explored. This theme is full of science concepts. To deepen science knowledge, as well as art understanding, students will participate in the Visual Arts Seed Strategy,” Habitat 3-D.” This

Throughout history the United States did not recognize the the numerous benefits wetlands provided us such as groundwater purification, flood protection, shoreline stabilization, groundwater aquifer recharge, source of sustainable biodiversity, education, and wildlife habitats. Therefore during the industrial revolution people began draining the wetlands for agricultural purposes, digging up the wetlands and making them into roads, commercial and residential developments, and that resulted in a major

The tundra is defined as a large, treeless, and almost flat open space. They are located at the uppermost parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, where it is near the North Pole (Morris 741). In the tundra, most of the months’ average temperature is below the freezing point. The winters are dark, long and harsh in contrast, the summers there are short and somewhat warm. There is extremely little precipitation there. In the tundra the subsoil is frozen for most of the months. The permanently frozen

The Marine Biome Written by Molly Joyce A horse--like seahorse is eating shrimp with its long snout when the scuttling sound of a 10--legged red crab arises from the sandy ocean floor, its hard shell upsetting the sandy ocean floor. The crab grabs at the seahorse with its claws snapping ferociously. Crabs are one of the few animals that eat seahorses, along with some species of fish and rays. The seahorse, terrified, uses the current to float to a nearby patch of eelgrass. Once there

The Energy Flow of Savanna Biome There are many factors that are used in defining a biome. These factors define the organisms that live in the biome and how they adapt to survive in the biome. How these organisms adapt affects how the energy flows within an ecosystem. It is located in many countries, South America, Africa, Asia, Asia, and North Western Australia, mainly located on the edge of tropical rainforests.The biotic and abiotic factors, the geography, the issues that it faces, and the organisms

D Assessment DNA technology Forensic testing 24.11.2014 Marius Martinsen 10D Introduction: I have chosen to investigate Forensic testing, it is also known as DNA profiling or genetic fingerprinting. During this essay I will discuss what the disadvantages and what the advantages of forensic testing are. I will also talk about how forensic testing is carried out. Forensic testing is used to identify an individual by using the DNA sequences of that person. This can be used for legal

Floating treatment wetlands are a manmade ecosystem that mimic natural wetlands (David J. Sample, 2013) and are used to increase the water quality of lakes (SWCD, 2017). The wetlands focus on the excess of nutrients in the water as well as it can increase the biodiversity throughout the lake (SWCD, 2017). These floating wetlands can help control the amount of nutrients throughout the pond using nutrient uptake. (SWCD, 2017). Floating treatment wetlands have been used because they can be used at a

Biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. In this assay I will focus on the biome called Tundra. Tundra is defined as a treeless area away from the timberline in high-latitude regions, having a permanently frozen subsoil and supporting low-growing vegetation such as lichens, mosses, and shrubs. Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra is derived from the Finnish word “tunturia”, meaning treeless plain. It is

The arctic tundra biome is a biome located in the arctic circle, in such places as north Canada, Russia, Alaska, Iceland, Finland, and most of Greenland. Covering approximately 20% of the Earth 's land surface, the arctic tundra biome is the coldest biome on Earth, with winter temperatures averaging at -34°C (-30°F), and summer temperatures of around 3-12°C (37-54°F). The moderate summer temperature allows this icy biome to sustain life. Yearly precipitation is a low 15-25 centimetres (6-10 inches)
