Marine Biome

A biome is a large area or habitat that occupies the earth. Animals, plants along with flora and fauna occupy biome habitats. They cleverly adapt to their environment and geographical location. The area that I have chosen to research are the Flinders Ranges. The Flinders Rangers are in South Australia, covering 37,000 square kilometres. The biome expands from Crystal Brook in the south to Mount Hopeless in the north. There are several main general features associated with this semi-arid biome. It has landforms that are above sea level. The biome has high mountain ranges with summits reaching 900 metres. The area has steep gorges, cliffs, ridges and plateaus. The biome edges have grasslands and foothills which contain creeks, gorges, valleys,

Since Freshwater biomes are found all over the world, the types of plants and animals that live in these waters can be different. Some examples of plants that may inhabit a Freshwater biome are grass, spike rush, water lilies, cattail, and sometimes trees. Most plants living in these waters are not recognized by humans. Animals that live in these biomes are frogs, turtles, snakes, fish, and sometimes alligators. Insects like mosquitos also inhabit these biomes greatly. Animals such as raccoons and earthworms live on the land surrounding the biome, but depend on the biome to survive. Some animals, such as beavers, live in both the water and the land surrounding it. Algae also plays a big role in a Freshwater biome ecosystem.

A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. The climate and geography of a region determines what type of biome can exist in that region. Major biomes include deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra, and several types of aquatic environment. As can see on the topography map, The Goulburn has two Biomes:-

Biomes are appropriate conditions for organizing the natural world because the organisms that live in them common constellations of adaptations, particularly the climate of each of the areas and the characteristic vegetation types that develops in these divisions. It should be understood that the climate is perhaps the most important in determining classes of individuals who may live in an area and the ways they should be amended to live under different conditions of temperature and precipitation and seasonal distribution of these factors element. Every place on Earth has its own climate, influenced by both macroclimate regions as the particular microclimate. The soils are very important because they are essential to determine the types of plants that will grow into a bioclimatic zone in partical, in addition, also as substrates for animals serve. In turn, the soils are heavily influenced by regional climate, as well as the geology of the bedrock. At the same time we have to keep in mind the diversity of plants like the flora just like the diversity of the fauna as well as the adaptation of both.

Biomes are large ecological spaces on the Earth’s surface where fauna and flora have adapted to the environment. As Australia is a huge area it has great number of different biomes. The main biomes found here include wetlands and rivers, savanna, sea grass meadows, old growth forests and deserts.

A biome is several communities in one specific area - a large scale ecological unit recognized primarily by its dominant plant type and vegetation structure. Temperature and precipitation can predict the type of biome that forms on a

A biome is a major biological community that occurs over a large area of land. Each biome is characterized by particular environmental and geographic conditions such as precipitation, temperature, wind, soil conditions, proximity to water, amount of sunlight. Did you know that there are five major biomes on the whole Earth? Even though we live on a big world different regions in the same biome tend to support similar types of plant and animal life. There is some overlap between biomes, but scientist usually identify these major biomes on earth: Tundra, Taiga, Temperate forest, Tropical forest, Desert, Savanna, Chaparral, Freshwater, and Marine.

Tropical Rainforest Biome The biome Tropical rainforest is an ecosystem that combines an equal amount of sun, rain, and very warm temperatures. With this mixture it creates a very humid, almost steamy atmosphere. It stays this way all year long, temperatures don’t even alternate between day and night. With all the humidity and moisture the precipitation rate is much higher than other places, The yearly rainfall ranges from 80-400 inches.

A biome is a large community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. Every biome has a certain group of animals and plants and they are able to live because they can adapt to the environment in that biome. There are biomes on land (terrestrial) and underwater (aquatic). All plants and animals that live in a biome are interdependent, meaning they depend on each other in one way or another. The two biomes being compared are the taiga biome and the deciduous forest biome.

In today’s world, trash and debris are one of the major problems that are affecting our ecosystem. Numerous animals die every year, due to the clutter deposited in our oceans. Some animals mistake it for food, while others get caught in the garbage that floats within the currents of the polluted waters. An important, yet moving example of the influence of the detritus on the many organisms living in the ocean biome, is the seahorses. In the picture above, this cute, and captivating seahorse drifts in waste all day, as it carries a Q-Tip, and has caught the attention of many people all around the world in awe or repulsion. The photographer behind this picture, wanted to attract the attention of others on social media because he wanted to remind

Tropical Rainforests are located nearest to the Earth’s Equator; they take up 7% of space on the earth’s surface. Tropical Rainforests are found in places like South America, Africa, South East Asia, and Australia. Tropical Rainforests are viewed as natures global powerhouses, this is due to the amount of 60-160 inches of rain that they produce each year, which then gets distributed all over the planet. The constant rain combined with the warmth of tropical rainforests which ranges from 21°-30° Celsius makes a habitable environment for many species’.

A biome, also known as life zones, consists of all plants, animals, and other organisms, as well the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its’ plant life, climate, and location. The climate and physical features determine the boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra, taiga, tropical rain forest, temperate forests, desert, grassland, savanna, chaparral, and marine. Each biome has it’s own characteristics such as the tundra.

If you pay attention to the news, scientists are discovering new types of rainforest plants and animals all the time! The climate in rainforests is hot and humid. It rains there almost every day – where do you think the name came from? Because of the 12 hours of sunlight and daily rain, the jungle stays hot and humid all year. The temperature always stays between 68 and 93 degrees!

Biomes are all over the world, that’s why they are considered the “world’s major communities.” Biomes are large areas scattered around the earth, filled with animals and plants acclimating to their environments. You can classify biomes in many different ways, by their climate, their biodiversity, human activity, their animals and plants, and their habitats. There are only five conspicuous types of biomes, Grassland, Tundra, Desert, Aquatic, and forest. Without biomes, the earth would be unbalanced. Throughout the years, we have cause a lot of damage towards our earth, such as causing pollution, and abolishing natural habitats. If we continue living like this, there might be more serious or severe implications on the biomes. Knowing that we share the world with so many other species of plants and animals, we should consider the consequences of our actions.

The ocean is a favorite vacation spot for many people around the world. People love to go play and relax on the beach, and while the surface is beautiful, the saltwater biomes of the world are much more than a relaxing vacation spot. Saltwater biomes are located in oceans, seas, estuaries, and coral reefs all over the world (Otto 423-25). The Baltic Sea, Red Sea, and Dead Sea and only a few examples of this vast biome. Oceans and coral reefs are said to be the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, teeming with life and different species (Otto 423-35). The saltwater biome has many interesting facts and diverse species of flora and fauna that make it an amazing biome.
