I will be talking about my biome grasslands. My biome grassland is could be located in Africa, South America, and North America.
My biomes soil has grasses as the dominant vegetation. Trees and large shrubs are absent. Its temperature is “vary more from summer to winter, and the amount of rainfall is less in temperate grasslands than in savannas”. Which means when it winter it’s cold and when it’s summer it’s hot. Grasslands could go up to 100 degrees fahrenheit to -40 degrees fahrenheit.

A grassland ecosystem is the collection of plants, animals and microorganisms that live
This week's weather change could be a boon to duck hunters, as a freeze up north should drive some new birds down into the Grasslands. Last Saturday, my son Bill and a friend had a pretty good shoot at the Santa Cruz Club south of Los Banos. They had a good early morning flight, mostly Greenwing Teal and Northern shovelers. They ended up with 11 ducks, including one Canvasback, before the flight ended about 10:30 a.m. To make it more challenging, they were both shooting 20 gauge shotguns. My son is still shooting the same Remington Model 58 that I gave him in 1970, when he was 13 years old. The public shooting areas showed some increase in averages last Saturday in the Sacramento Valley with Delevan and Sacramento Refuges being the best. In the Los Banos Complex, Merced and Los Banos units picked up to around two birds per hunter.
The first biome I would like to talk about is the grassland biome. There are two kinds of grassland biomes; tropic and temperate grasslands. West Virginia is part of the temperate grassland. Sometimes, the temperature can reach up to 100 degrees. In the winter, the temperatures are very cold. Grassland biomes receive between 10 to 30 inches of rain.
The first biome I am going to discuss is the Central Prairies and Woodlands biome. This biome is located in the middle of biome 2 and 3 covering all of the coastal area from the Gulf of Mexico. The precipitation gradient in this area is the highest in the state of Texas. Averaging from 75-115 cm/yr. this concludes that it’s a high precipitation area which means that the land in that area is green and hydrated. Since this biome extends from the south were the coast is all the way to the top of eastern Texas the temperature varies depending on the location you are looking at the further north its colder and the more south you go the hotter, humid it gets. The kinds of plants that are in this regions are mostly tall green
Did you know the Taiga is the largest biome in the world? In this biome most of the tree life is conifers. The taiga has a specific climate, appearance, producers, and consumers
Only covering about 5 percent of Canada, this Ecozone occupies a semi-circular area that has its base on the Canada-U.S. border and arc from the western edge of Alberta to the eastern edge of Manitoba. The major landform of the Prairie Ecozone is much flatter than Northern Arctic due to its rolling plains. Some local areas can be hummocky and potholed, providing depressions for the establishment of wetlands, ponds and small lakes. On the other hand, in terms of vegetation, Prairie Ecozone is considerably lusher than Northern Arctic that the short-grass prairies in the south merge into mixed-grass and the tall-grass areas. As the moisture patterns improve northwards, grasslands expand. Though, as almost 95 percent of the Prairie Ecozone have been covert into farmland, the natural vegetation is generally dominated by spear grass, wheat grass, and blue grama grass. The northern edge of this Ecozone is dotted with groves of trembling aspen and balsam poplar. Sagebrush is abundant but deciduous and coniferous trees are largely absent. Moreover, in terms of wildlife, the Prairie Ecozone is richer than Northern Arctic. Plain bison, which were once plentiful, are now confined to a few restricted areas in national parks. Other characteristic mammals, including the mule and white-tailed deer, elk, coyote, pronghorn antelope, and white-tailed jackrabbit, would inhibit in lands away from urban
Humans are affecting grassland biomes by unnecessary hunting. When unnecessary hunting occurs, many of the animals food has a chance of disappearing. If animals food disappears, many of the animals could die off. When those animals die off, the population will decrease. The population decrease of animals is not good. It leads to extinction and then there is no more of those animals left in that biome or even in the world. When those animals become extinct, it could possibly be killing off a whole food source to an animal. When that happens, that animal could soon become extinct as well. Which could lead to the whole food chain of that biome being extinct. If the whole food chain becomes extinct for the biome then there will be no biome.
Location of major natural system: Dry Prairies are known to be located predominantly in three major areas north and west of Lake Okeechobee, in south-central Florida (Florida Natural Areas Inventory, n.d.c).
Deserts make up 20% of the Earths surface. Desert biomes come in four major forms. The hot & dry, semi arid, coastal and cold deserts. Deserts are hot and dry because of little vegetation cover, little cloud cover and low atmospheric pressure. The humidity level is very low and there is very little rain each year (about 500mm per year). The soil is shallow and rocky, as a result of very little weathering and supports only a few plant types. The soil has very low organic matter and has a very low salt content. Plants that grow here include the cactus and short shrubs, which have the ability to conserve water. Plants have less leaves, so they use their stems for photosynthesis. The animals tend to burrow during the day to avoid the scorching
Historically, prairies covered over one-hundred and seventy million acres of North America and stretched from the Rocky Mountains to the east side of the Mississippi; and from Saskatchewan, south to Texas. It was once the continent’s largest continuous ecosystem, supporting an enormous quantity of plants and animals. Prairies began appearing in the mid-section of our continent eight- to ten-thousand years ago and have developed into one of the most complex and diverse ecosystems in the world, surpassed only by Brazil’s rainforest: from the extreme heat and drought in August to the bitter cold winters locked in frigid winds and ice.
The deserts, rainforests and lack of rivers and lakes throughout Africa make practicing sustainable agriculture very difficult for many people. The land is dry and arid so most plants do not grow very well and cannot survive in most of the continent. In addition to this, most of the rivers on this continent are in sub-Saharan Africa therefore impeding irrigation in northern Africa. People living in countries in northern Africa must trade to obtain food for survival. The deserts and savannas spread throughout Africa hinder the growth of agriculture in multiple regions around the
The savanna is located in africa. The savanna biome has a wet and dry climate. The savanna biome is mostly located near the equator the largest savanna is located in africa. Nearly half of the continent is covered with savanna grasslands.
The Aquatic biome is the most significant out of all of the five biomes. Water is essential and important for life here on Earth. It’s what we all need in order to survive. Water also supports life, and many different species live in it, or for some parts of their life. Since water covers one-thirds of the Earth, the temperature of the aquatic biome tends to be humid and slightly cool. It is fairly constant so it can be able to tolerate life. This region is filled with so many different species of animals some big and some even small. The Aquatic biome is broken into two regions freshwater and marine
African life has a big impact on African art. Many art pieces are inspired by a story of a culture and how they lived and what inspired them to create some of the works. These art pieces can come in many forms such as painting, sculpture, and dancing and they each convey the cycle of life with the importance of pregnancies, beauty and youth and afterlife. These three things are represented in so many African art pieces.
Aramark is amongst the largest foodservices provider in the world, with a headquarters based in Philadelphia, PA. The corporation was grown primarily through mergers and acquisitions and compiled of a variety of lines of businesses, such as facilities, sports and entertainment and business dining. It boasts clientele from NBA, NFL and NHL. Similar to it’s competitors Sodexo and Compass Group (Hoovers), Aramark relies upon three parts of it’s value chain: human capital outsourcing, uniforms and food. These moving parts are the main drivers of the business and are all supported by comprehensive enterprise scaled software.
A savanna is a grassland ecosystem characterized by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. It receives less precipitation that tropical dry forests, but more than deserts; usually has a distinct rainy season. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses. Savannas have a very warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer). In the dry season only an average of about 4 inches of rain falls. Between December
