Table 1. Characteristics of some representative biomes.
2.
Change the view to a flat map and turn on the gridlines.
Click on the Sahara Desert near the Tropic of Cancer.
Click “
compare
” and select the tropical rain forest biome in Southeast Asia at about the same latitude. Then,
answer the following questions:
a.
How do rainfall and temperature patterns differ between the biomes?
The rainfall is completely nonexistent in the Desert while precipitation in the tropical rainforest biome
reaches heights of 300mm. Temperatures in the desert go as low as about 900
° C and cap at 1200°
while temperatures in the rainforest range from about 1000°C to around 1300°C.
b.
List the species richness for each biome.
Sahara Desert: 15
SE Asia Tropical Forest: 82
c.
Think about the difference or similarity in species richness between these two biomes. What could
account for this difference or similarity?
While there isn’t a vast difference the number of species in these respective biomes differs by 67. The
physical properties of the biomes is what creates the difference in species richness. Species are able to
thrive more in a biome that has trees that can provide shade and higher amounts of precipitation, these
qualities can not be found in the desert.
HUMAN IMPACTS ON BIODIVERSITY
3.
Go back to one of the biomes from question 1. Make sure you are still in flat map view. Change to the
Anthrome layer and select the year 2000.
a.
Select the point in your biome with the highest level of human disturbance. List the Anthromes at this
location for each of these years:
1700: seminatural
1800: seminatural
1900: croplands
2000: villages
b.
Briefly summarize how humans have impacted the environment at this location over time.
The humans have caused more and more destruction to the biomes over time with the changes in our
lifestyles such as moving around and occupying these spaces, which in turn most likely has hurt these
biomes in the long run.
At this location, record the following:
Anthrome (year 2000): villages
Species Richness: 126
# Species NOT listed as “Least Concern”: 10
c.
Now select the point in your biome with the lowest level of human disturbance. Ideally, it should be a
wilderness area, but as close as possible to the last location. Record the following:
Anthrome: seminatural
Species Richness: 136
# Species NOT listed as “Least Concern”: 6
d.
Summarize the differences in species richness and IUCN status of species between the two locations.
Make a claim for how human disturbance could have impacted biodiversity in your biome. Support your
claim with evidence.
The second biome has less human disturbances therefore there is more animal abundance and less
species listed for concern which I can assume is due to less human contact in this biome. The first biome
has seen more human disturbances and therefore has a higher amount of species at risk for
endangerment and a smaller amount of species active in the biome.

Soil erosion is one of the most serious soil-degrading processes. Each year tons of soil erode from
cropland, pastures, forests, and other places. The amount of erosion varies dramatically among various
land-use types. The figure above shows the effects of different agricultural practices and slopes on
annual erosion rates.

three curves represent three separate experiments that took place in the same environment (soil, temperature, and water). The

A mature oak and hickory forest ecosystem experienced an intense forest fire that burned the existing trees the ground. Despite the intensity of the
fire, some soils remained. Total biomass, species richness, and net productivity were reduced significantly after the initial disturbance. There have not
been any more fires since. Twenty years after the fire, there are medium-sized trees and bushes growing, as well as ferns and flowering plants. The
forest is in the middle, or intermediate, stage of succession. How has the current stage of succession affected total biomass, species richness, and
net productivity of the ecosystem?
O Total biomass remained the same, species richness decreased, net productivity remained the same
O Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net productivity decreased
O Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net…
