Which of the following BIOTIC influence or potentially determine the vegetation biome of a terrestrial region?     Grazing     Amount of rainfall     Mean temperature/length of growing season     Mean temperature/length of growing season

For the state of Colorado what is the Ecology Like as far as water, Carbon and boom nitrogen 2

e al g As part of global climate change, the Earth is warming. If a region that currently supports a temperate forest warms considerably but does not change in precipitation, what biome is it expected to support? Annual precipitation (cm) 400 300 200 100 Boreal forest Desert Grassland 30 Savanna Tropical rainforest Tropical seasonal forest Tropical thorn scrub and woodland Desert 20 Temperate rainforest Temperate forest Savanna 10 Boreal forest Grassland Average temperature (°C) 0 Tundra -10

Use the data and graph below to completely and correctly answer these two questions: 5. Based on your data in Table 2 and Figure 2., how do rainfall/temperature correlate with productivity/diversity in biomes? 6. Suggest a hypothesis to explain the correlation in question 5. Label the answers and don’t use previous answers/versions. Be complete and correct

About how much warming occurred at Concord between 1852 and 2006? 0.5 C 1.0 C O 2.0 C O 2.5 C

The campus of Wilbur Wright College (one of our sister colleges) is listed under the "Tree Campuses of USA". The campus supports a rich variety of flora and fauna. All the flora and fauna of this campus form a community cluster ecosystem population biotic division

Use the data below to fill out the graph. For each biome, put a dot on the graph and label it correctly.

Climate is due to temperature and rainfall that in turn are determined by     variations in the solar radiation received on a spherical earth.     the topography or landscape, such as mountains.     the tilt of the earth's axis as it rotates about the sun.     the distribution of land masses and oceans.     All of these determine the temperature and rainfall patterns on earth.   The taiga is a     tropical rain forest.     grassland.     temperate deciduous forest.     coniferous forest.     chaparral.   The open sunlit layer of the body of a lake is the     littoral zone.     aphotic zone.     abyssal zone.     photic zone.     benthic zone.
