LOI 1:
Grass land biomes
Grassland biomes are known as prairies in North America.
They are called pampas in South America.
Steppes are grassland biomes in colder regions across Asia and the Northern parts of Russia.
In Africa, Australia and the southern most parts of South America they are called savannas.
Abiotic components are:
rainfall
temeprature
soil
fire
Biotic components are:
plants
grazers
predators
invertrebrates
Temperate animals:
wild horses, wolves, prairie dogs, jack rabbits, deer, mice, coyotes, foxes, skunks, badgers, blackbirds, grouse,
Climate:
moderate rainfall spread across the year and mild to warm summers and cool to cold winters
Grasses:
buffalo grass, cacti, sagebrush, perennial grasses, sunflowers, clovers, and wild indigos
Tropical animals:
lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, servals, jackals and wild dogs.
Climate:
hot temperatures. ... The annual temperature range in tropical climates is normally very small.
Grasses:
clumping grasses and large reed-type grasses.
Purples needle,
Bluegrass, lemon grass and etc.
Steppes animals:
bison, cattle, sheep, horses, deer, antelope, and goats.
Climate:
changes, with cold winters and warm summers.
Grasses:
dry, grassy plain
Temperatures of grasslands biomes:
Canada and Europe, Central Asia, southern South America, southern Australia.
40 degrees and 70 degrees latitude.
45 °C (115 °F) and in winter, −55 °C (−65 °F). Besides this major seasonal difference, fluctuations between day and night are also very great.
Tropical animals:
The tropics between the latitude lines of the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The tropics include the Equator and parts of North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
20 to 30 degrees Celcius
Acquatic Biomes:
biotic components:
producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers.
Abiotic components of acquatic biomes:
light availability, depth, stratification, temperature, currents, and tides.
Estuaries
coaster plain
tectonic
bar built
fjords
Estuaries are:
An Estuary is a body of water that has freshwater entering and is also open to the ocean
Semi-enclosed body of water with an opening to the ocean and feed by freshwater
Saltwater is diluted when freshwater from land is into it.
Estuaries are the nurseries of the seas.
It provides a safe environment for fish birds and other wild lives.
Estuaries have producers called phytoplankton which helps the food chain and provides for many of the wildlife.
Types of Estuaries
ocean:
97% of the water is saltwater which is composed of our oceans.
Our five major oceans which are
Pacific which is the largest, Atlantic, Indian, and arctic which can be subdivided into seas.
Ocean includes animals like 40-foot humpback whales and as small as microscopic plankton
Ocean also includes a huge variety of coral reefs which stretch for miles
ocean:
artic
pacific
indian
atlantic
these oceans are subdivide into seas
Freshwater biomes:
Rivera and
streams
The water in rivers and streams flow in 1 direction in one direction begging with the source called headwater and traveling to the mouth where the flowing waters empty into a larger body.
When the slope is steep the water flows quickly but when it’s not as steep the water flows down.
Lakes and ponds
Lakes and ponds can be small as few sq. meters or large as thousands. meters.
Some lakes and ponds survive for a few weeks whereas few of them exist for years.
Wetlands
Wetlands are areas such as marshes, swamps, and bogs that are saturated with water.
These areas of water support plants such which grow in moist human conditions of wetlands.
Plants that are conducted are pond lilies, cattails, and willows
Species include salamanders, reptiles, and birds.
Ecosystem:
An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. ... Ecosystems can be very large or very small.
Habitat:
A habitat is a place where an organism makes its home. A habitat meets all the environmental conditions an organism needs to survive. ... The main components of a habitat are shelter, water, food, and space.
