Textbook Question
Chapter 54, Problem 2COQ
Based on your knowledge of biomes, identify the biome in which you live. List and describe the organisms that you have observed in your biome. Why might your observations not fit the biome predicted to occur in your area from temperature/precipitation profiles?

Students have asked these similar questions
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.
Which of the following might is NOT an investigation of microclimate?
O All of the other answers are correct
O exploring the difference in salinity, temperature and water levels in small tide
pools that are found in the intertidal life zone
O comparing temperature and precipitation across the entire arctic area
including North America and Eurasia
O studying temperature and humidity conditions inside a ball made by male
dung beetle to house and protect the developing larvae
O comparing the light intensity, wind and temperature in a shaded forest floor
patch versus a non- shaded near-by patch
In a tabular form, compare the different biomes based on specific criteria. Follow the table format provided below. You may add columns and rows as you deem necessary.

Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of different populations residing in the area. m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition. What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C.
