Students have asked these similar questions
A biome is characterized by seasonal rainfall (about 20 to 100 mm) and temperature (about -10 to 35OC). Globally, the biome is found around 30ON latitude, has many tree species that lose their leaves in the winter, some shrubs and grasses, insects, many medium to small-sized mammals, birds, lizards, and some snakes. This best describes a:
Group of answer choices
A. chaparral (temperate scrubland).
B. boreal forest.
C. temperate grassland.
D. tropical rainforest.
E. deciduous temperate forest.
What is the value of biome diversification in an ecosystem?
What features of a biome can contribute to the success of an ecosystem or the organisms that use it as a habitat?
Can anthropogenic influence play a positive role in biome diversification or can human influence only negatively impact biome diversity?
Which of the following disturbance would likely result in primary succession?
Select one:
a. Seafloor habitat is disturbed by trawlers that are being dragged along the seabed.
b. Shenandoah National Park floods, resulting in destruction of plant life in the area.
c. Some areas in the direct blast zone of Mount St. Helens’ volcanic eruption are covered with pyroclastic flow deposits.
d. Receding Kaskawulsh Glacier diverts Slims River, exposing the sediments in the riverbed.

A biome is a large-scale community of organisms, primarily defined on land by the dominant plant types that exist in geographic regions of the planet with similar climatic conditions. A tropical rainforest is warm, has year round growth, and a high amount of precipitation. Deserts are very hot during the day, cold at night, and have very little precipitation. Temperate grasslands and forests have seasonal changes in temperature and receive a moderate amount of rain. Tundras are very cold, have extremely short growing seasons, and receive a high amount of precipitation. The light, temperature, flow regime, and dissolved solids define aquatic biomes. Estuaries are an important biome that connects ground water and surface water. As you move north of the equator, temperatures decrease and winters get longer. Rainforests are typically found close to the equator in areas of high precipitation. Deserts are typically found 15-30o north or south of the equator in areas of…arrow_forward
