Biomes

The purple coneflower is in the Tundra biome

The tropical rainforest biome covers the landmass near the equator. These regions have high temperatures, abundant rainfall, and dense vegetation that support a wide variety of plant and animal species.

Coniferous forests, also known as taiga or boreal forests, can withstand cold temperatures. They are characterized by trees such as pine, spruce, and fir that have adaptations including needle-like leaves and cone-bearing structures to survive in cold climates.

The major biome characterized by the relative absence of trees is the grassland biome. Grasslands are dominated by grasses and other herbaceous plants rather than large trees, with varying levels of precipitation influencing the specific types of grassland such as savannas, prairies, and steppes. These biomes are important habitats for a wide variety of wildlife and are often found in regions with seasonal climates.

A biome is identified by its particular set of abiotic factors such as temperature and precipitation, as well as its characteristic group of plant and animal species.

The biome that has no trees is the tundra. The harsh weather conditions and cold temperatures in the tundra make it difficult for trees to grow, leading to a landscape dominated by low-lying vegetation, such as mosses, lichens, and grasses.

Elevation affects the temperature, precipitation, and vegetation patterns of a biome. As elevation increases, temperature generally decreases, resulting in differences in plant and animal life. Higher elevations often have unique species adaptations to survive in colder temperatures and harsher conditions.

Biomes are climatically and geographically defined as similar climatic conditions on the earth such as communities of plants,animals, and soil organisms, and are often referred to as ecosystems.

Members of a species are closely related and can mate to produce fertile offspring.

Sunlight is an abiotic factor that affects a freshwater ecosystem as it plays a vital role in photosynthesis for aquatic plants, which are the base of the food chain in these ecosystems.

The abiotic part of an ecosystem made of rock and water is the physical environment. Rocks provide the structure and composition of the ecosystem, while water is essential for various processes like hydration and nutrient transport. Together, they shape the habitat and influence the organisms that can live in that ecosystem.

Yes, swamps typically have nutrient-rich soils due to the accumulation of organic material from decomposing plants. The high levels of organic matter provide essential nutrients for plant growth.

1. tundra- one of the vast, nearly level, treeless plains of the arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America.

2.Northern Conifer Forest (taiga)-the coniferous evergreen forests of subarctic lands, covering vast areas of northern North America and Eurasia.

3.Tropical Rain Forest- A rain forest in a tropical area.

4. Tropical Deciduous Forest- a type of forest characterized by trees that seasonally shed their leaves.

5.mountains- A natural elevation of the earth's surface rising more or less abruptly to a summit, and attaining an altitude greater than that of a hill, usually greater than 2000 feet (610 meters).

6. Savanna- a grassy plain in tropical and subtropical regions, with very little trees.

7. temperate grasslands- A terrestrial biome dominated by grasses and forbs.

8. Desert- A dry, barren area of land, esp. one covered with sand, that is characteristically desolate, waterless, and without vegetation.

9. Chaparral- Vegetation consisting chiefly of tangled shrubs and thorny bushes.

10. Tropical scrub forest- is a plant community characterized by vegetation dominated by shrubs, often also including grasses, herbs, and geophytes.

SORRY I DONT KNOW THE OTHER TWO. I'm only 14

6.savanna-

The desert biome typically has poor soil quality due to low levels of organic matter and minimal water content, making it difficult for plants to grow.

Abiotic synthesis refers to the synthesis of organic compounds from inorganic precursors, without the involvement of living organisms. This process is considered essential for the origin of life on Earth, as it led to the formation of complex molecules necessary for life to emerge. Examples of abiotic synthesis include the formation of amino acids and nucleotides under prebiotic conditions.

Tropical rainforests have the highest primary production in terrestrial ecosystems due to their high levels of rainfall, sunlight, and warm temperatures that support abundant plant growth. These biomes have a high diversity of plant species that contribute to their high productivity.

1. Tropical Rainforest: Epiphytes such as orchids
2. Desert: Cacti like the saguaro
3. Grassland: Prairie grasses like bluestem
4. Deciduous Forest: Trees like oak or maple
5. Taiga: Coniferous trees like spruce or pine
6. Tundra: Mosses and lichens

The tropical rainforest biome typically has a more constant temperature due to its proximity to the equator. The consistent sunlight and high levels of humidity help maintain a stable temperature range.

Corpse is biotic because it was once living.

Biotic = something that is living, or that lived at one time (animal, plant, bug)

Abiotic = nonliving things (dirt, air, rock, water)

Most of the nutrients in a tropical rainforest are found in the vegetation, particularly in the upper canopy where the leaves of trees and plants are actively photosynthesizing and cycling nutrients. Nutrients are also stored in the soil, although they tend to be quickly recycled back into the ecosystem due to the rapid decomposition and uptake by plants in the nutrient-rich environment of the rainforest.

Areas within the same biome share similar climatic conditions, vegetation types, and wildlife. However, they may differ in specific plant and animal species present, soil composition, and topographical features due to local variations in factors like rainfall, temperature, and human influences.

The most abundant source would be in glacial form as frozen water, although the most abundant and accessible source is groundwater.

Plants that live in the deserts and plants that live in the Tundra have commonalities and differences. One commonality is that they have both learned to adapt to very harsh climates. One difference is that Tundra plants are adapted to extreme cold, while desert plants are adapted to extreme heat.

Evolutionary theory posits that behaviors promoting survival are more likely to be passed down through generations due to natural selection, enhancing the organism's chances of reproductive success. This means that over time, the population will predominantly exhibit traits that enhance survival and reproductive success, providing a greater chance for the species' continued existence.
