Question
Chapter 54.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The biome that might expand into areas currently occupied by Tundra, in a globally warmed world.
Introduction: The weather pattern prevailing in a particular region is known as its climate. Latitudinal variations in the solar radiations arriving on Earth cause temperature differences across the planet. Variations in temperatures across regions decide the type of biological species inhabiting them.

- TUNDRA Characteristics of biome: Picture of biomearrow_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_forwardIf you were to hike up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, you would pass through several habitats, including savanna at the base, forest on the slopes, and alpine tundra near the top.
