Aquatic Biomes. What type of biomes have we learned about so far?. Rainforest, savannah, desert, . Designed by Christopher Becker,. Joeie. Puckett, Michael . Ruthenberg. ,. and . Satura. Thomas. A . Webquest. for 4. th. Grade. Introduction. Biomes are defined as "the world's major communities, classified according to the predominant vegetation and characterized by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment" (. Importance of Marine Biomes. Oceans represent the largest and most diverse of the . ecosystems.. Salt . water evaporates and turns to rain which falls on the land regions, while most of the oxygen in our atmosphere is generated by algae.  . Unit Assessment. Third Eight Weeks. Life Science. 1. What is an estuary?. Extremely fertile area where a river meets an ocean; mixture of saltwater and freshwater; serves as a nursery for many species of fish. Pantelleria. .  .                       .

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.. CHAPTER. Too Much of a Good Thing?. Elephant populations in southern Africa declined sharply due to hunting but have made overwhelming comebacks within nature reserves and parks.. Some worry that elephant overpopulation is causing a decline in local biodiversity and damage to farms and infrastructure.. SIGNIFICANT IDEAS:. Climate determines the type of biome in a given area although individual ecosystems may vary due to many local abiotic and biotic factors.. Succession leads to climax communities that may vary due to random events and interactions over time. This leads to a pattern of alternative stable states for a given ecosystem.. 6.2 – Forest Biomes. 6.3 – Grasslands, Deserts, and . Tundra. Objectives. Describe. . how plants describe the name of a biome.. Explain. . how temperature and precipitation determine which plants grow in an area.. http://www.neok12.com/php/watch.php?v=zX0215667004445d05420545&t=Ecosystems. Why do we find different plants and animals in different biomes?. Plants and animals are adapted to live in their biome. They live within that certain climate.. Issues of interest to the region.

Ancient Greeks used to classify the environment into zones which had different degrees of warmth. This resulted in Aristotle describing the terrain in terms of flora and fauna. . Main characteristics and variables used to define biomes is: . Kinds of Ecosystems and Communities. David Rude. Kinds of Ecosystems and Communities.
