What type of Biome is Boise Idaho?
Boise is in the Coniferous Forest and Mountain Meadows Biome; Most of N. and Central Idaho are dominated by evergreen and coniferous forests. The vegetation of this biome is characteristics of a rageland; grasses, forbs, and shrubs. These biomes are very imporatant for grass grazing animals such as deer and elk. Great area for backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, and hunting.
How many cactuses make up a desert?
A desert need not have ANY cacti to be called a desert. A desert is simply a large region that is rather dry.
How can a forest fire affect a coniferous forest?
destroy it of course.
Answer:
Forest fires are usually seen as totally negative events. This is only partly true when applied to wood harvesting opportunities and the effects on human communities. Modern forest fires result from human intervention in forest management which allows the accumulation of dead wood on the forest fire and the presence of old growth tree.
Forest fires, however serve several useful ends:
- they remove accumulations of dead fall from the forest floor
- they open up areas for new growth
- they open up areas for wildlife passage and browsing on new growth
- some plant species need forest fires to impact seeds and soil for germination
- they return nutrients to the oil
- ash from forest fires adjusts lake pH to counteract acid rain
Additional Answer:
Some commercial forests use fire to clear out the undergrowth. This keeps the ground underneath the canopy free of combustible material. As a result if a fire approaches that particular area, it will not have fuel to continue and it dies.
As implied in the previous answer, when some pinecones burn, they open up. The rising hot air lifts their seeds which spin upwards spinning like helicopter blades. Pine seeds land on the ashes and sprout immediately. Soon new pines sprout on the ashes of the old forest.

How do you install a bell universal water bottle mount and cage?
If you are speaking the model with the adjustable clamp... I agree the instructions need much improvement.
To start you need an allen wrench. I have found that you have to remove the screw at each end of the bracket plate. Once these 2 screws are removed, the plate separates from the bottle holder and exposes the head of a 3rd screw. This screw too is to be removed (make sure to not lose the 2 metal washers), thereby releasing the clamp mechanism from the plastic sleeve. Now the clamp can be opened.
After this I think the rest is self-explanatory. And of of course you have to reverse the steps to attach the clamp/mount to the bike.
Fyi, some sites recommend putting a piece of electrical tape under where you attach the clamp to the bike. I'm going to try it, can't hurt.

Which biome does not have good, fertile soil, despite the large number of trees it contains?
A wet winter and dry summer is the characteristics feature of which climate?
A Mediterranean climate typically experiences wet winters and dry summers. This climate is characterized by mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. It is common in regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea, as well as other parts of the world with similar weather patterns.
Which solvent is fat insoluble?
Water is a solvent that is generally fat-insoluble. Fats are hydrophobic molecules, meaning they do not mix well with water. Therefore, fats are typically soluble in nonpolar solvents like ether, chloroform, or hexane.
What are the features of a land biome?
they are the tundra, taiga, temperate deciduous forest, grassland, tropical rain forest, desert
What is the interdependence in the savanna?
The leopards depend on the other animals like zebras for food the zebras depend on the insects witch will need to eat other insects.
