TERRESTRIAL BIOMES Ralph E. Taggart, Professor Department of Plant Biology Department of Geological Sciences Michigan State University The nature of communities and ecosystem on land is shaped primarily by the dominant producers. It is the plants that provide the framework for the overall structure and potential relationships within the natural systems of a region. Although the biodiversity patterns of different parts of the earth's surface can be quite different, there can be a remarkable similarity in the aspect of communities and ecosystems developed under similar climates. Thus, while the specific plants which are present in a rainforest in South America are quite different from those in a rainforest in the Congo, the two forests will be quite similar in terms of the scope of biodiversity and the ways in which niche space is partitioned. Put simply, rainforests, as one example, will look quite similar from one biogeographic region to another, despite profound differences in the specific plants and animals that make up these forests. These broad zones, with their definable characteristics, are known as biomes Climate, specifically, temperature and rainfall, is the most important factor in defining the nature of the biomes that develop within specific regions:

Climograph of North American biomes. Tundra Tundra occurs between the taiga and the permanently frozen polar regions. The annual precipitation is usually less than 250 mm, and water is not available for living organisms most of the time. During summer months (mostly July and August), the upper layer of the soil thaws, but half a meter underground the soil remains frozen. As a result of the permafrost, short summers and very long cold winters, no trees occur in the tundra. Bogs, ponds and herbaceous plants (and billions of mosquitoes) characterize the landscape, and even the few woody plants (Dwarf Birch, Arctic Willow) are dwarf.

Biomes a WebQuest for sixth grade science by Dana Matousek Introduction Task Resources Process ... Teacher Notes Introduction You have a new summer job working for a travel agent. You have been hired to create brochures and posters that will persuade travelers to visit a specific geographical biome. You have the opportunity to be extremely creative for the summer! Back to top The Task Working in groups of four or five, divide up the task of researching one of the six biomes: Tundra, Taiga, Temperate Deciduous Forest, Tropical Rain Forest, Grasslands and Desert. You will organize the information into a brochure and illustrate the biome ecosystem in a poster. Each group member will assemble a brochure to present to a group of travel agents selling different biomes. Back to top The Process First, meet with your assigned group and read through the entire webquest. Once you are familiar with what you will be doing, brainstorm ways to accomplish your tasks. To brainstorm effectively, you should take on roles such as recorder, to write down all group members ideas; task master, to mediate and keep everyone on task; and a audio master, to be a good listener to make sure that all group members' ideas get recorded. Agree upon the best way to accomplish your task and make a quick outline. Each group member should make a list of the research and work he or she is responsible for.

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home North American Biomes by Lois Van Wagner Contents of Curriculum Unit 92.05.12: Narrative Biomes The Desert Grasslands ... To Guide Entry This unit on North American biomes will be a comparative study of each of the biomes’ biotic and abiotic factors. We will look at representative species of both plants and animals for each of the biomes, and try to develop food chains from those organisms. Since an understanding of the physical environment is important to the understanding of the special adaptations some plants and animals have evolved with, we will also examine such things as temperature ranges, amount of moisture, presence of extremes of wind, sunlight or lack of sunlight, and soil types. Wherever possible live animals and plants will be examined and kept for observation terrariums. On our collecting expeditions I hope to find various small plants, insects, caterpillars, etc. that we can safely keep for a while in aquariums or terrariums. Within each area we will focus on the healthy environment and discuss some of the contemporary problems that each area is facing in regards to pollution, habitat reduction, and poaching. Classroom discussions will be extended to include the African and South American biomes and their special animals, adaptations, and problems. An important part of the unit will be the hands-on activities that can be incorporated into the lessons. For each biome there will be a special activity that is either observational or participational. Each student will produce a Biome book of their own as a result of a group study of the biome. The students will work cooperatively to produce a better product of their own.

BIOMES OF THE WORLD Introduction Task Resources Process ... Conclusion Introduction Animals and plants around the world are in danger of becoming extinct. Man has caused much of the danger to different areas, because of his constant development of land for homes, businesses, and industry, with no thought to the environment. Fires have destroyed much of the deciduous forest in the United States. The television shows announcements about the constant destruction of the rainforest, which is the home for many endangered animals and plants. Droughts are destroying more plants, which means even less food and homes for animals. Your group will be doing research on a biome, and will be developing visuals and a play to convince others of the importance of your particular biome, and why it should be protected. You will be televising this play, with visuals, props, and any music you choose. Remember, your biome may be destroyed if you cannot convince others of its importance The Task Students will work in cooperative groups conducting computer research on a specific biome to: writing a report about a specific biome

Insects Home Eastern Wildflowers General Topics Natural History Ecology Family Environment Evolution Home Education Home Conservation Geophysics Paleontology Commercial Organizations Return to Biomes and Habitats Main Page A Short Introduction to Terrestrial Biomes Naturalists have also noted that as one goes up a mountain, the vegatation zones tend to mirror the larger biomes as the temperature and precipitation change. These changes in vegetation types are sometimes called "life zones". The classic example is the San Francisco Mountains in northern Arizona. On the north side of the mountains the vegetation at the base is a scrub desert changing to a desert dominated by the dry adapted trees pinyon pine and juniper. As the elevation increases the forest changes to Ponderosa Pine, then to a spruce-douglas fir habitat very similar to the taiga, and finally changes to an alpine zone similar to tundra in its appearance on the top of the mountain peaks. Ecologists have proposed a series of biomes for the oceans of the world as well, although most of their attention has focused on terrestrial biomes. The ocean biomes are sometimes divided into a littoral zone (rocky shores, salt marshes, and beaches), a pelagic zone (the upper layers of the ocean), and an abyssal zone (the deeper levels of the ocean). Other more complicated classifications of ocean habitats have been proposed.

Introduction The North American continent is the home of a diverse array of plants and animals all occupying a multitude of ecological sites in a variety of climatic regimes. The biota of North America - the sum total of its living creatures - when considered in relation to climatic, soil and physiographic features allows biologists to recognize grand associations that are termed biomes The purpose of the two lectures on biomes is to provide the student with an awareness of life from the arctic to the tropics. Our goal is to make you, the young men and women who are the future, cognizant of the living creatures, the land, and the environment of the planet. To understand the present flora, it is useful to understand in broad terms the fate of the flora over the last 18,000 years. The flora of North America has changed significantly insofar as its distribution is concern during this short period of time in the earth's history. A large mass of ice dominated much of the northern third of the continent. Unglaciated regions in Alaska allowed not only numerous plants and animals to survive in refugia, but provided a broad avenue for people to enter onto a new land. Much of the native flora was compressed in front of the ice sheet, the vast taiga of today was little more than a narrow strip along the front and down the backbone of the Appalachian Mountains.

Redistributed as a Service of the National Library for the Environment Ecosystems, Biomes, and Watersheds: Definitions and Use M. Lynne Corn Specialist in Natural Resources Policy Environment and Natural Resources Policy Division July 14, 1993 93-655 ENR SUMMARY Due to conflicts in many areas such as old growth forests in the Northwest, the Everglades in south Florida, Chesapeake Bay, and the Rio Grande watershed, many people are advocating a broader approach to management of land and water resources and biological diversity. They argue that existing laws run at cross purposes, or that the plethora of requirements under many laws and regulations means that no land use decision is ever final. As a result, and from a surprising range of philosophical platforms, many in Congress are advocating "ecosystem management" in various land use and conservation issues. Yet, there is little agreement, even in the scientific community, on the meaning of the term ecosystem. This paper describes the meaning and applications of ecosystem and of the related terms watershed and biome.
