Biomes

A community consists of groups of different species living and interacting in a given area. This interaction can include competition for resources, predation, and mutualistic relationships.

A Gila monster uses its tail mainly for balance and stability while moving in its desert habitat. It also stores fat reserves in its tail to sustain itself during periods of scarce food availability. Additionally, the Gila monster can use its tail as a defense mechanism against predators by swinging it or using it to deliver a painful bite.

Examples of non-living things in British Columbia's ecosystems include rocks, soil, water, air, sunlight, and various minerals. These elements play critical roles in supporting the diverse plant and animal life found in the region by providing nutrients, shelter, and energy sources.

Wikianswers will not do your homework for you. To address this subject you must choose an ecosystem and research it. Then choose another and compare any similarities or differences. This way you will find for yourself the problems involved. It will give you a better understanding of the interdependance on how things work in harmaony and in some cases, in conflict.

The Contrast Guinea is a tropical rainforest region with high biodiversity, while the Sahel Savanna is a semi-arid grassland region with lower biodiversity. The Contrast Guinea receives higher levels of rainfall and is located closer to the equator, while the Sahel Savanna is drier and lies further north. These different environmental conditions result in distinct plant and animal communities in each region.

Seaweeds have adapted to freshwater biomes by forming attachment structures like holdfasts to anchor themselves to rocks or other substrates, allowing them to thrive in flowing water. Lilies have adapted to freshwater biomes by developing specialized roots that absorb nutrients from the water and support the plant in aquatic environments. Both seaweeds and lilies have evolved to regulate osmotic balance to survive in freshwater habitats.

well first off you shouldnt be using this site if its for homework or a prodgect because you cant belive what everybody says. soo go find it somewhere else like in your text book or on a website that random people can just put the answer up, they could tell you something completly wrong and you wouldnt know it.. ok well go find your answer somewhere else. have a good day.

If winter lasted year round in a deciduous forest, many animals would struggle to find food as food sources would be scarce. Some animals may migrate to other areas to survive, while others may hibernate or go into a state of torpor to conserve energy. Overall, the lack of resources and extreme cold temperatures could lead to a decline in animal populations in the long term.

This is due to the stable warm climate, high amount of rainfall, and consistent day length which provide ideal conditions for plant growth and evolution. These factors support a wide variety of plants and animals, leading to high biodiversity in tropical rainforests.

The fuzziest animal on Earth is often considered to be the Angora rabbit, known for its long, fluffy fur. The fur of the Angora rabbit is prized for its softness and warmth, making it a popular choice for sweaters and other clothing items.

The primary factors that determine the biome in a particular area based on rainfall and temperature include temperature range, precipitation levels, soil type, and elevation. These factors influence the type of vegetation that can thrive in an area and consequently determine the biome, such as tropical rainforest, desert, grassland, or tundra. Temperature and rainfall interact to create distinct environmental conditions that support specific plant and animal species characteristic of different biomes.

Birds in desert ecosystems may have adaptations like specialized kidneys to conserve water, the ability to go for long periods without drinking, heat tolerance through behaviors like seeking shade, and specialized beaks to access food sources like seeds and insects.

As secondary succession begins, pioneer plants like grasses, weeds, and fast-growing species are typically the first to establish in the area. These plants help improve soil conditions and create opportunities for other plant species to colonize the area over time. Eventually, shrubs and trees will start to grow, leading to a more diverse and stable plant community.

1. Salinity levels: Some organisms are sensitive to changes in salt concentrations.
2. Temperature: Extreme temperatures can limit the distribution of certain species.
3. Light availability: Deeper oceans have limited light penetration, restricting photosynthesis.
4. Oxygen levels: Some organisms require specific oxygen concentrations for survival.
5. Nutrient availability: Lack of essential nutrients can inhibit growth and reproduction of marine life.

Coniferous forests typically have rocky substrates composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks, such as granite, gneiss, and schist. These types of rocks provide a well-drained soil environment for coniferous trees to grow.

A wetland is a transitional zone between an aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem and as a result has components of both. An ocean is a completely aquatic ecosystem. The presence or absence of salt water has nothing to do with this, there are both freshwater and saltwater wetlands throughout the world.

well some people say, oh a grassland is a land covered in grass. well no really. way to point out the obvious. a temperate grassland summed up has fertile soils that are able to support quick cover of grasses. drough, grazing animals, and fires keep grasslands from becoming forests. it is home to a wide variety of plants. the grassland parks are normally very large parks with nothing much to see, just alot of flat land with grass and animals. there are few shrubs and trees that support the organisms/animals that live there. if the temperature dropped the grassland would turn into a desert, anything above would be a tropical biome. it gets 10-30 inches of rain a year.

some say wiki. is a website where anyone can write random things about whatever you pick, and yes that's true. but this, nope:) its all real, because im in biology right now(:

thankss.

Brian most likely lives in a savanna biome. Savannas are characterized by a mix of grasses and scattered trees, seasonal rainfall, and warm temperatures throughout the year.

The 'Pacific Reef' brand flip flops were discontinued and are no longer being produced or sold. The company may have shifted its focus to other products or rebranded under a different name.

Dry grasslands such as the prairies and savanna are marked by a limited or seasonal rainfall, which is one factor for the lack of trees (which may still predominate along existing streams and rivers). A wet grassland is a swamp such as the Everglades, where most of the land is covered by water for part of the year. This can impede tree growth because of the lack of a solid soil base, and because water can rot seeds and wood. Higher salinity can be another factor. Trees such as the mangrove are adapted to swamps in temperate climates, and grow on the borders of the sawgrass regions in Florida.

Some extinct plants in the taiga include the giant club-moss (Lepidodendron), the scale tree (Lepidodendron), and the Calamites tree (Calamites). These plants existed during the Carboniferous period and are no longer found in the taiga biome today.

Permafrost is mainly found in cold regions, such as the Arctic, Antarctic, and high mountain areas. It occurs beneath the surface layer of soil in regions where the temperature remains below freezing for extended periods, often resulting in a permanent frozen state.
