Faith Grasslands Essay

Big bluestem grass (Turkey food) adapted to growing into growing in dense stands allows for less competition of sunlight generally, the key to survival are thick deep roots. Anchor into the soil to prevent being blown away in the wind. Animals in short grasses. The prairie dogs essentially are the squirrel of the prairies normally, squirrels inhabit trees, but in the prairies there aren't any trees. Therefore they burrow underground. Adapted to creating guard systems some stay outside the burrow to watch for predators while others mate and connect burrows . Adapted to semi-arid, windy environment with few trees or shrubs. Many Of the animals are thankful for the rodent populations and steal their burrows to survive the freezing to the sweltering hot temperatures. They can also withstand a great range in temperature from well below freezing in the winter to sweltering heat in the

The name of my tribe is the Eastern Woodlands. The location of my tribe is in the Southeast portion of North America. The Eastern Woodlands have more than one tribe. Two of them were called the Mohawks and Huron. The Eastern Woodlands covered up the East Coast of North America from the Atlantic to the West of the Mississippi River. This is some of the information about my tribe called the Eastern

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.

Knowledge A seed is planted in my mind which I nurture with water and the sun in the faith that it will sprout and grow.Woodlands has changed me in so many different ways. What has inspired me and encouraged me the most is probably the Guiding Principles. All of the guiding principles has helped me in a different way. From preparing me for high school to helping me communicate more the Guiding Principles has been a major part of my two years at woodlands.

The biome I chose was the tropical rain forest. The tropical rain forest has lots of dangerous and interesting animals. The tropical rain forest has a 70-85F weather all year long. The climate is warm but damp and wet. Tropical rain forests can be found between 30N- 30S. The tropical rain forest is full of life providing a habitat for lots of plants, flowers, and trees. The rain forest has a lot of dangers such as rainfall= 80-400 inches of rainfall per year. The tropical rain forest is a great place that is filled with life and is one of the most beautiful biomes in the world.

The savanna biome is an area that has a very dry season and then a very wet season.Because of the extended periods of wet and dry climate in the savanna biome, the availability of food changes throughout the year.Climate is very important in the savanna biome. If the rainfall decreases and/or the temperature increases, the animals and plants will not be able to continue to survive.

When people think of the American Prairie, they think of a dull, and grassy-full biome. But, the American Prairie is an extremely fascinating biome. At first glance, this grassy biome may look really dull and boring, but if you look deeper into it and feel nature playing its daily roles in this prairie around you, then you will see how unique this biome is.

The american prairie starts in Manitoba and goes down through the Great Plains, into Mexico and Texas. They are all near the Rocky Mountains. These Prairies cover around 1.4 million miles of land. Because of the mountains, it has more rain around them rather than the prairies. All of the different prairies have distinct climates, the Tall Grass Prairies are known to be the wettest prairies, the Short Grass Prairie is also wet, but not as wet as Tall Grass. The Mixed Prairies are more dry since they are in more sunlight than the others. The prairies all have various climate changes a year, they can have a lot of rain or very little rain at all. Usually, the Prairies have droughts for a while because they just aren't getting any rain. The temperature

Savannas are important, it has a lot of fascinating plant and animals. It is also the home of a lot of fascinating plants and animals. The animals that live in the savanna would probably be extinct without the savanna because it's their home. They rely on this biome for food and water. The animals can't just go live somewhere else because their habitats are in the savanna and they’ve adapted their life to survival here. This paper will discuss and outline the important components of a savanna including the climate, landforms, location, and other important and interesting facts regarding the savannas across the world.

Oak savannas and woodland ecosystem were once common in Central North America prior to European settlement and once covered an estimate of 11 million ha. They were generally known as plant communities where trees are present but their density is so low that it allows grasses and herbaceous vegetation to dominate the landscapes. This type of ecosystems has been found to develop (in temperate zones) as a transition between grasslands and forest (Curtis 1959).

The savanna biome is made up of grasslands and has very few trees. The savanna is full of grazing animals that take advantage of the abundant food supply of grass. There are savanna's located in South America, India, Australia, and Africa, which is where the largest part of the savanna biome is located. Some abiotic factors in the savanna biome include weather and climate, and forest fires. Climate is very important to the biome because if the rainfall or the temperature alters from regularity, the animals and plants will not be able to survive. Savannas have warm temperatures year round, with a very wet season and then a very dry season. The rainy season occurs over the summer and brings approximately fifteen to twenty five inches of rain

These areas differ greatly in terms of natural ecological layout. First off the forested area has many trees growing in the overall population. Whereas the grassland has little to no tree life, and is primarily composed of grass like plants. This can cause a large change in how the ecosystem manages temperature. In the case of figure 1 we can see that the grassland has a greater temperature fluctuation in both the air and the ground as opposed to the forest. This is due to the natural insulation characteristic the forest ecosystem has. The canopy cover in the forest allows for a large majority of solar radiation to be blocked. The shade within the forest helps to reduce the rate at which the temperature for the air and ground increase. Additionally trees have a natural cooling effect as they lose water to the atmosphere when they undergo evapotranspiration. Water evaporated from the trees which aids in the reduction of heat, much like how humans

I Learned quite a few cool facts about my biome, a few are; The Taiga is the largest biome in the whole world! Fires are very common in the taiga biome. These fires are necessary to help rid the area of old and dying trees. A Taiga can go down to -60’f in the winter. The last fact I learned is that compared to many other biomes, there really isn’t much variety to the plants in the Taiga.

Climate and Location: The climate of the desert is very hot and most large deserts are found far away from coasts, far away from ocean moisture. The

Biomes that are classified as Deserts biomes have one thing in common, they receive less than 50 cm or 19.7 inches of rain a year. This is barely enough to support life. This is also taking into account some fog, dew, and possibly hail and snow. However, even with all the extra precipitation, these lands still experience less than 50 cm of rain a year. Desert biomes are located on every major landform, in some cases more than one. According to the CEF, “[…] there are four major types of deserts you may come across, Hot and Dry Desert, Semi-arid Desert, Coastal Desert, Cold Deserts,” (Rinkesh,n.d). Hot and Dry deserts are stereotypically what you would imagine a desert being like, hot dry and almost lifeless. These are located all over the world. The United States is home to 3 of them, the Mojave, Chihuahua, Sonoran. Semi-arid Deserts are like Hot and Dry Deserts expect they are much cooler and have different soil and planet
