Draw a typical climate diagram for a tropical rainforest. Label all parts of the diagram and describe all of the types of information an ecologist could glean from such a diagram. Now draw a climate diagram for a desert. How does it differ from your rainforest climatograph, and what does this tell you about how the two biomes differ?

- The graph illustrates the temperature and precipitation conditions in various terrestrial biomes. a) Based on the information in the graph, describe the air temperature range for a boreal forest. (b) Based on the information in the graph, identify the major grassland present within 20 degrees north and south of the equator.arrow_forwardChoose 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.arrow_forwardIdentify the coldes, driest biome with relatively little or relatively small vegetation. The plants in this biome have characteristically short "growth habits," meaning that species like willows and other trees may be only a few inches tall.

Globally, the biome is found around 30ON latitude, has many tree species that lose their leaves in the winter, some shrubs and grasses, insects, many medium to small-sized mammals, birds, lizards, and some snakes. This best describes a: Group of answer choices A. chaparral (temperate scrubland). B. boreal forest. C. temperate grassland. D. tropical rainforest. E. deciduous temperate forest.arrow_forward
- Select the correct terms: The biome characterized by shrubs and nonwoody plants that grow in regions with cool, rainy winters and hot, dry summers is (tundra / chaparral). Another biome with few trees, but in this case dominated by grasses and nonwoody plants, is (grassland / tundra). The most productive aquatic biome is (freshwater / estuaries).arrow_forwardGiven these large-scale climate patterns based on latitude, what might you expect in terms of the global distribution of primary productivity (e.g. where might you expect greater plant productivity)? (Select all that are true.) Higher productivity near equator because of more direct solar radiation. Higher productivity near equator because of overall more precipitation. Bands of lower productivity near 30° N and S because of drier air. Bands of lower productivity near poles because of drier air.arrow_forwardThe table below shows monthly average temperature and precipitation data for 6 different biomes (A-F) as well as the annual mean and standard deviations of the mean for both those factors at the bottom of each column.

Traditionally, biomes have been used to describe large geographical regions such as deserts, grasslands, forests, and tundras. The tundra occurs between the taiga and the permanently frozen polar regions while the taiga zone occupies a wide belt between the tundra and the temperate forests on the American and Eurasian continents. The plant and animal populations vary in these two biomes. Q Search 1) Review the images of the two biomes, the tundra and the taiga. Notice that while there are about 1,700 kinds of plants there are virtually no tree species in the tundra. What are the limiting factors in preventing the immigration of tree species into the tundra?
