What Is The Temperate Forest Biome?

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

At the south of the country we can see another biome called temperate Rain forest. Here we would find a more typical rainforest. These types of rainforests are usually very humid places with lots of wildlife, exotic animals and plants.

The annual rate of precipitation, and elevational range once generated a strong foundation for a wide diversity of vegetation

Rainforests and Tundras Rainforests and Tundras are two biomes that have similairities and differences. Rainforests include soft, delicate plants below the canopy and sparse vegetation on the forest floor while tundras have lush vegetation, and mosses that grow in low, damp ground. Plants in the rainforest grow close together, and plants in the tundra more widely spread. There are many differences and similarities of tundras and rainforest such as their importance to humans, characteristics and animals. Rainforests and Tundras have many similarities and differences in their characteristics.

The topography of the island is also of note. The west end of the island features a closed-canopy forest with more hardwood trees. The east end of the island is better characterized as a “boreal forest,” a term used to describe regions that are mostly covered by coniferous forests. It is good to note that the balsam fir is found on both ends of the island, but that samples used in the study from the west end of the island were, on average, older, but shorter, than those samples found on the east side of the island.

Temperature influences the distribution of plants and this is another abiotic factor. In the Lions club tower I could feel the difference in temperature. Bottom at being cold and moist whereas the top is warm and dry. This is shown clearly on the average table. Temperatures such as snow or frost determines the distribution of plants as most plants cannot prevent freezing because of their tissues and this abiotic factor affects the plantae group. Other effects that could cause an establishment to particular plants due to temperature is the gemination of biennial plants, and this is during spring or summer known as vernalization. This is the cooling of seed in order to quickly adapt to the environment and the abiotic factors. As of the forest

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.

In Area 2, the species with the highest dominance value was the Oregon White Oak (70.6%). Oregon White Oaks provide shelter, housing, and food to various animals as well. Diversity of birds is often higher in Oregon White Oaks than in an adjacent coniferous forest. Using the dominance data, it tells us that at this moment in time Oregon Oak and

The chaparral biome stretches across the globe, ranging from the West Coast of the United States to Australia’s Western tip. This biome is mainly found in the state of California’s West coast and is also known as the grasslands and woodlands due to the vast amount of species of plants and animals that inhabit it. Some scientists may also call it the Mediterranean climate type. There is a wide variety of terrain in the chaparral biome, some areas consisting of flat plains, but in other regions, there are rocky hills and mountain terrain areas. The biome peaks at about 5,000 feet above sea level, and down to narrow and widely spaced valleys and streams. Although this biome also lacks major water sources, causing is to be known as a very dry

The North American Eastern Grey Squirrel has become a major issue for the hardwood timber growers in Europe due to their habit of barkstripping (Fitzgibbon). Currently it is a formidable task to determine the amount of grey squirrels in a specific area, thus Fitzgibbon has created a method involving the amount of dreys present in a wooded area. The conclusion of the experiment led researchers to believe there is a strong correlation between the nut production and maturity of trees and the density of squirrels (Fitzgibbon). Thus, it is reasonable to believe grey squirrels are most often found in dense woods consisting of a high population of beech, oak, and hazelnut trees (Fitzgibbon). Although minimal research has been conducted involving oak

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

1) I live in the Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome and within this biome the temperature and precipitation are the most important determinants. There are distinct seasons where the summers are warmer than in the winters. Also in the fall the leaves will fall off of the trees and in the following spring they will appear again. These factors have changed over the past 100 years due to global warming. The weather within seasons have changed resulting in more frequent hot days and fewer cool days.

Research reveals that climate change leads to drought, which causes trees to grow more slowly.Researchers found some tree in Canada’s northern greenbelt is continue to drought. They compare and analyze the growth rate of trees in drought area with the average growth rate of more than one thousand and three hundred trees all over the world. They found the results are very different that trees growth rate decreases nine percent an average over the first years and five percent less the second year. According to the news, soil moisture is less than forty percent of normal after some dry years. The weather becomes warmer and drier which result in no enough water. There were sixty to eighty- five percent of normal precipitation in this summer basis on Agriculture Canada.The forest will get more droughty. With

Our lab investigated the morphological characteristics of leaves found in the sun and shade on various species of maple and oak trees around campus. Our null hypothesis was Acer and Quercus acclimate similarly with regards to SLW (specific leaf weight), size, and sinuosity. Our hypothesis was Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity. We tested these hypotheses by picking small sections of a branches from both maple and oak trees. A group was assigned either a maple or an oak tree, and needed a total of three different trees per group. Once three different trees were chosen, groups needed three shade leaves and three sun leaves of off each different tree. In total, each group should then end up with 18 leaves for testing. After collecting the leaves, we ran them through the LiCor 3100 leaf area meter to identify the area of each leaf. Major results found by the classes’ mutual data was each one of our p-values were greater than .05. This means that we failed to reject the null hypothesis. Thus, the lab results do not support our hypothesis that Quercus acclimation is greater than Acer SLW, size, and sinuosity.

Among the major sciences and art management is forestry, which in most cases involves the use and adoption of social, economic and scientific principles to reach specific objectives when caring for forests. This articles aims to integrate into the forest sector, and examine closely the impact of climate change on forests, and how this affects the development and environment in relation to forests. Justification of the topic in question is well elaborated in the introductory part of this article, after which there is analysis of the fundamental issues relating to development and environment of forests. The negative impacts to the different societies of the world due to insufficient forestry are discussed in proceeding paragraphs, with specified explanations and possible solutions in relation to insufficiency in the forestry sector. There is also an analysis of whether the strategies for solutions have borne fruit or not in the current times. All developments and incentives will be argued out in the last paragraphs of the article.
