PPT-4-3 Biomes

Environments are grouped into BIOMES group of ecosystems that have same climate amp dominant communities TROPICAL RAIN FOREST has most species BIODIVERSITY canopy top  understory  below canopy . Freshwater Biomes. Freshwater is less than 3% of the Hydrosphere. . 90% of the freshwater is locked beneath the Earth’s surface. . Water is cycled through evaporation and transpiration from the atmosphere to the land and back again. . Factors that Determine Biomes. Altitude. – height above sea level. Latitude. – distance from equator. Large Bodies of Water. Mountains. Desert. BIOMES. http://34kiwis.org/2014/09/19/bill-nye-biodiversity/. Y: Erica Song. By Erica Song. Location. . This biome is found in the middle latitudes around the globe. More specifically the temperate forest biome is found in Eastern United States, Canada, Europe, China, Japan, and parts of Russia. “Ecology is no. thing”. I. Definition. :. Organisms. Populations.

Fresh Water. Desert. Desert Biome. This biome is the driest; it only receives 50cm of rainfall a year about 10% of the rainfall in the rainforest. Its plants and animals have to survive in an environment with little water and dramatic temperature changes from day to night. Some animals and plants may find if difficult to adapt, but reptiles and cacti thrive in these conditions.. Tropical rain forest. Tropical. . dry forest. Tropical savanna. Temperate grassland.
