Biomes

A schoolyard, being a diverse microhabitat, can support different organisms by providing various resources like food, shelter, and water. For example, plants can offer food and shelter for insects, which in turn can attract birds and small mammals. The structure of the schoolyard, such as trees, bushes, and grassy areas, can create different niches for a variety of organisms to thrive. Additionally, human activities in the schoolyard can introduce new resources, like food scraps, that certain organisms may exploit.

The tundra biome typically has the lowest average temperature due to its high latitude location and cold climate.

The biome that provides most of the wood for paper is the temperate forest biome, which includes forests such as coniferous forests and deciduous forests. These forests are rich in tree species like spruce, pine, fir, and oak that are commonly used in paper production.

The categories of ecological organization broader than a biome are biosphere and ecosphere, which encompass all living and non-living components of the Earth, including multiple biomes. These categories consider the interactions between living organisms, their physical environment, and their biotic and abiotic factors on a global scale.

Kenyan wildlife includes what are regarded as 'The Big 5'. Specifically, these are: Elephants, Buffalo, Rhinoceros, Lions, Leopards.

The elephant is the largest land mammal, and can live up to 70 years. They live in all-female social groups called herds, headed by a dominant female called the matriarch--males live alone or on the fringes of the herd.

The African Buffalo, or Cape Buffalo is a very large (500-900 kg) bovine with a very unpredictable nature, making them very dangerous, even to predators like lions. They can be found in all kinds of habitats, ranging from grassland to thick forests.

The rhinoceros is another very large animal that has a heavily armoured body. In Kenya there are two species, the Black Rhinoceros and the White Rhinoceros. The black rhino, named because of it's dark colouration, is found in grassland or woodlands and is a solitary animal. The White Rhinoceros, whose name comes from the Afrikaans for 'Wide', describing the very wide mouth (as opposed to the pointed mouth of the black rhino). White rhinos, found in grasslands, can be solitary or sometimes live in small groups.

Lions are Africa's largest 'big cat', and stand out from all others in that they live in organized social groups called prides. The lion is a powerful predator, especially when working together--they can bring down prey as large as a buffalo. Lions are commonly protected in game reserves like the Masai Mara.

The leopard is a solitary cat, and the most versatile (and successful) of all the big cats. It is usually a nocturnal hunter, but often can be seen during the daylight hours--the leopard is very opportunistic. It will kill and eat a very large variety of prey, from insects and reptiles, right up to the young of large herbivores like Wildebeest, which is a major factor in why it is so successful. They have incredibly strong shoulder and neck muscles, which allow them to carry their prey (often weighing as much, or more than them) up into trees, to prevent other predators and scavengers from 'stealing' their meal.

There are many other animals in Kenya, such as the Cheetah (the fastest land mammal) and the Giraffe (the tallest land mammal). You would need a book to write about every animal, so let's leave it there, shall we?

Johannesburg is located in the Grassland biome. This biome is characterized by vast stretches of grasses and a moderate climate, making it suitable for agriculture and grazing.

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their physical environment, while a biome is a large region characterized by a specific climate and certain types of plants and animals. Biomes can contain multiple ecosystems within them, each adapted to the specific conditions of that biome.

Rainforests have more organisms than deserts because they receive more rainfall, have a more stable and constant temperature, and provide a diverse range of food sources and habitats. These conditions support a greater variety of plant and animal species, leading to higher biodiversity in rainforests compared to deserts.

You might be in a tundra biome. Tundras are cold, dry regions characterized by low temperatures, little precipitation, and low-lying vegetation like mosses, lichens, and small shrubs.

Chaparral regions have a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. These conditions are not ideal for tree growth as the vegetation is adapted to the frequent fires that occur in these areas. Instead, chaparral is dominated by shrubs and other drought-adapted plant species.

Being sexy is what I do best! Anyone want to show me their private parts? I dont mind I'll show anyone. I have had sex with 23 girls but it's about to get to 24 right!

If two widely-separated places on earth have similar plant communities, it could suggest that they share similar climate conditions, soil types, or ecological niches that favor the growth of those specific plant species. This similarity in plant communities may indicate convergent evolution or dispersal of plant species across different regions.

They provided food by hunting, gathering, farming, or fishing. Shelter was typically constructed using natural materials like wood, mud, grass, or animal hides for nomadic or settled groups. These methods varied depending on the region and resources available.

The PSEN2 gene was identified by different researchers working independently in the late 1990s. One group was led by Tom Wasner and the other by Peter St. George-Hyslop. They both identified mutations in the PSEN2 gene in families with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Some biotic factors at Ayers Rock include plants like shrubs and grasses, as well as animals such as kangaroos and birds. Abiotic factors include the rock itself, the climate, soil composition, and sunlight levels.

The biome that typically receives between 75 and 125 cm of rainfall per year is a temperate deciduous forest. These forests are characterized by moderate precipitation levels, with distinct seasons and a variety of tree species that shed their leaves annually.

Organisms in different biomes have adaptations that help them survive, such as thick fur or insulation in cold biomes to retain heat, or large ears and long limbs in hot biomes for heat dissipation. Other adaptations include camouflage to blend in with their environment, specialized diets to take advantage of available food sources, and efficient water conservation mechanisms in arid biomes.

A grassland biome contains large populations of grazing herbivores, few species of birds, and deep, rich soil. Grasslands support a variety of grazers such as bison, gazelles, and zebras, along with predators like lions and wolves. The deep soil of grasslands is fertile and allows for the growth of vast stretches of grasses.

Conifers include pine, spruce, hemlock, cedar -- pretty much anything with needles (plus some others). So a forest dominated by pine and spruce would be considered a coniferous forest. Not sure what other word you might be looking for.

The two main limiting factors in a biome are typically temperature and precipitation. These factors significantly influence the types of plants and animals that can survive and thrive in a particular environment. Other factors like soil composition, sunlight availability, and natural disturbances also play a role in shaping biome characteristics.

The two biomes that receive less than 25 centimeters of rain per year are desert biomes and tundra biomes. Deserts are characterized by extremely low precipitation levels, while tundra regions are cold and experience very dry conditions due to low evaporation rates.

Desert biomes often have the greatest daily temperature change, with temperatures that can swing significantly between hot during the day and cold at night due to the lack of vegetation to retain heat.
