Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 1SL
Search the Internet to find a definition for anthropogenic biome or anthrome. In which anthrome do you live? Considering the effects of humans on ecosystems, do you think biome classifications are still relevant, or should biologists only discuss anthromes?

Students have asked these similar questions
Can you please define what a biome is and why it is important to know while using specific examples?
What is the biosphere? How would you distinguish between the following subdivisions of the biosphere: lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere?
Choose a specific biome between the marine, freshwater, or any terrestrial biome. Discuss the
types of plants and animals in that biome. Describe the climate and any non-living components
(such as water, rocks, soil) of the biome. Where can the biome be found?
What biogeochemical cycles occur in this biome? Are there any reservoirs for the nutrients?
Where can the nutrients be found and what processes do they go through as they transition to a
different reservoir? Describe at least two of the biogeochemical cycles and the nutrients and minerals that move through them in your chosen biome.
