- 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 seasonarrow_forwardThe benthic zone is home to organisms which are photosynthetic. intertidal. heterotrophic. adapted to high light. Some ecosystems develop a vertical structure (such as seen in a tropical forest). The cause of this is due to competition for which resource? nitrogen minerals moisture carbon dioxide light The biome that is characteristic of Bronx County is a taiga. temperate deciduous forest. temperate rain forest. desert. coniferous forest.arrow_forwardPick 3 biomes and describe their soil and why is their this soil composition like?arrow_forward
- Match the name of the biome with its description. The task is to match the lettered items with the correct numbered items. Appearing below is a list of lettered items. Following that is a list of numbered items. Each numbered item is followed by a drop-down. Select the letter in the drop down that best matches the numbered item with the lettered alternatives. a. appear about halfway from the equator to the poles, most of this area is farmed, at least in the U.S. b .found to the north and south of the tropical rain forest, has long dry season c. abundant rain fall and high heat support lush plant life d.vast forests, mostly of conifers, in the far north of Canada, Russia, Alaska and Scandinavia e. the trees seasonally shed their leaves 1. temperate grasslands 2. tropical savanna 3. temperate deciduous forest 4. taiga 5. tropical rain forestarrow_forwardWhich of the following is a characteristic of terrestrial biomes? CHECK ALL THAT COULD APPLY A)annual average rainfall in excess of 25 cm B)they show strong latitudinal patterns C)specific microorganisms, fungi and animals D)the presence of photosynthetic organisms E)vegetation demonstrating vertical stratificationarrow_forwardWhich ecosystem is not considered a major biome? temperate forests grasslands mountains taigasarrow_forward
- DRAW IT (a) Draw a simplified global water cycle showingocean, land, atmosphere, and runoff from the land to theocean. Label your drawing with these annual water fluxes:ocean evaporation, 425 km3ocean evaporation that returns to the ocean as precipitation,385 km3ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land, 40 km3evapotranspiration from plants and soil that falls as precipitation on land, 70 km3runoff to the oceans, 40 km3(b) What is the ratio of ocean evaporation that falls as precipitationon land compared with runoff from land to the oceans? (c) Howwould this ratio change during an ice age, and why?arrow_forwardIt is that change is the of the und threat from the of trees as a of change? A Desert B Tropical Rainforest Tundra C. Taiga Grassland E. In which biome would you expect to see plants adapted to fire? Choose at least one correct answer Temperate forest A. Tundra Tropical rainforest C. Grassland Desert E. In which biome would you expect to see darkly pigmented leaves and low plant growth forms Choose at least one correct answer A Taiga Tundra B. C. c) Tropical Rainforest Grassland D. Desert E.arrow_forwardWhat type of biomes are in nroth aermcia the four regions In middle west region has great plains and i read thier is even badlands, is their more of the biomes What biomes are in east region exactly i know their forest, lake and ponds and hills south region i think its like jungle, swamps and forest and more wester region has likey snow with forest and snow mountain, grand canyon, desert, rivers and more please im trying to learn each region biomesarrow_forward
- What are the flaws ? A biome is a large-scale community of organisms, primarily defined on land by the dominant plant types that exist in geographic regions of the planet with similar climatic conditions. A tropical rainforest is warm, has year round growth, and a high amount of precipitation. Deserts are very hot during the day, cold at night, and have very little precipitation. Temperate grasslands and forests have seasonal changes in temperature and receive a moderate amount of rain. Tundras are very cold, have extremely short growing seasons, and receive a high amount of precipitation. The light, temperature, flow regime, and dissolved solids define aquatic biomes. Estuaries are an important biome that connects ground water and surface water. As you move north of the equator, temperatures decrease and winters get longer. Rainforests are typically found close to the equator in areas of high precipitation. Deserts are typically found 15-30o north or south of the equator in areas of…arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes an abiotic factor in a forest? earthworms that burrow through the forest soil. fungi in the soil that feed on dead organic matter. animals such as deer that migrate through the forest but do not eat the forest. all the plants that are growing alongside the trees. sunlight that filters through the treetops. As the latitude increases, which biome sequence would be present? tundra, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, tropical forest tropical forest, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, tundra tundra, deciduous forest, coniferous forest, tropical forest tropical forest, deciduous forest, coniferous forest, tundra Grasslands do NOT have trees because they are next to deserts. there is too much snow in winter. the soil is poor. there is too much sun in summer. the limited rain.arrow_forwardAquatic Biomes Which biome is defined as an area where a freshwater stream or river merges with the ocean? O Coral Reefs O Estuaries O Intertidal Zones O Lakes and Ponds Marine Benthic Zone O Ocean Pelagic Zone Streams and Rivers Ⓒ Wetlandsarrow_forward
