Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm Up • What is photosynthesis? • What is the equation for photosynthesis? • What is geotropism? • What is phototropism?

  2. Food Webs

  3. Biomes Major varieties of world ecosystems

  4. World Biomes Taiga Tropical Rain Forest Polar Ice Savanna Temperate Forest Mediterranean Shrubland Desert Tundra Temperate Rainforest Tropical Seasonal Forest Grassland

  5. Biotic and Abiotic Factors • Abiotic factors are essentially non-living components that effect the living organisms (ie: cloud cover, seasons, location, altitude) • Biotic factors are all the living things or their materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment.   This would include organisms, their presence, parts, interaction, and wastes

  6. Biomes & Climate

  7. Biomes Terrestrial Tropical rainforest Temperate rainforest Temperate deciduous forest Taiga (boreal forest) Tundra Desert Midlatitude grassland Savannah Chaparral/Steppe Tropical Seasonal Forest Mediterranean Shrubland Marine Open ocean Antarctic ocean (edge of the ice) Estuary Coral Reef Barrier Island Shallow ocean/bay Mangrove forests Freshwater River Lake Pond Wetlands (Swamps, marshes, etc.)

  8. Tropical Rainforest

  9. Tropical Rainforest • A hot, humid biome near the equator, with much rainfall and a wide variety of life • Vegetation: trees, vines, fungi, broadleaf woody species-thin bark, shallow roots, buttresses, vines • Animals: More species of insects, reptiles, and amphibians than any place else, small mammals, birds • Wet season, short dry season, hot temperature

  10. Rainforest Vegetation Profile

  11. Temperate Deciduous Forest A forest biome with many kinds of trees that lose their leaves each autumn

  12. Temperate Deciduous Forest • Moisture: low, distributed throughout year • Temperature: warm summers, cold winters • Vegetation: deciduous & broadleaf-trees, shrubs, herbs, mosses • Animals: mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians

  13. Temperate Deciduous Forest Vegetation Profile

  14. Taiga (Boreal Forest) • A cool forest biome of conifers in the upper Northern Hemisph-ere

  15. Taiga • Moisture: moderate, varies throughout the year • Temperature: cold winters, cool summers • Vegetation: evergreens, shrubby ground cover • Animals: birds, mammals

  16. Taiga Vegetation Profile

  17. Temperate Rainforest Temperate rainforests are coniferous or broadleaf forests that occur in the temperate zone and receive high rainfall.

  18. Temperate Rainforest • Moisture: Abundant precipitation 200–400 cm, rain and snow. • Temperature: Cool temperatures, rarely below 5°F or above 100°F • Vegetation:Diversity of conifers and hardwoods, many tall and old. • Animals: mammals(deer, bears), slugs, birds

  19. Temperate Rainforest Vegetation Profile

  20. Desert A sandy or rocky biome, with little precipitation and little plant life

  21. Desert • Moisture: Sporadic, highly localized <20cm precip/year • Temperature: Great Daily range, avg 66°F-76°F • Vegetation: Sparse trees and shrubs • Animals: small mammals, birds, reptiles

  22. Desert Vegetation Profile

  23. Midlatitude Grasslands A biome where grasses, not trees, are the main plant life. Prairies are one kind of grassland region.

  24. Midlatitude Grassland • Moisture: tall-grass, which are humid and very wet, and short-grass, which are dry • Temperature:-40° F in winter, and in the summer it can be as high 70° F • Vegetation: large, rolling terrains of grasses, flowers and herbs. • Animals:large and small mammals, birds, insects

  25. Midlatitude Grassland Vegetation Profile

  26. Savanna A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome.

  27. Savanna • Moisture: wet season, dry season • Temperature: hot • Vegetation: tall grasses, shrubs, trees • Animals: large mammals, birds, reptiles

  28. Savanna Vegetation Profile

  29. Tundra A cold biome of the far north; the ground is frozen even in summer

  30. Tundra • Moisture: dry season, wet season • Temperature: cold all year • Vegetation: shrubs, grasses, mosses • Animals: birds, insects, mammals

  31. Tundra Vegetation Profile

  32. Biome “Report”1-2 pages, Due Tuesday Students are asked to build a three-dimensional model of a biome in a box (no larger than a shoebox) using everyday materials. Included in the model should be representative examples of flora and fauna, and it should show the terrain (mountainous, flat, shoreline, etc.). The inside walls of the box should be decorated (painted, collaged with photos, etc.) . Taped onto one side of the box should be a written description of all of the characteristics of the biome (elevation, precipitation levels, temperature , flora, fauna, animals etc). Taped onto the other side of the box is a world map indicating (by color, outline, etc.) the locations of this biome.
