  1. Biomes

  2. Biomes • Lg. region --- terrestrialor aquaticregions • encompassing many interacting ecosystems • Place w/similar climate, soil, plants, and animals, regardless of where it occurs on Earth. • A biome is commonly named for its plant cover

  3. Aquatic Biomes • 1) Intertidal Zone • 2) Riparian • 3) Pond • 4) Coral Reef • 5) Kelp Forest Terrestrial Biomes 1)Tropical Rain Forest 2) Tropical Dry Forest 3) Tropical Savanna 4) Desert 5) TemperateGrasslands 6) Temperate Woodland/Shrubland 7) Temperate Forest 8) Northwestern Coniferous 9) Boreal Forest 10) Tundra

  4. Abiotic factors Biotic factors Not living living sun air clouds

  5. Climate • long-term pattern of weather conditions in a specific area. • Avg. temp. • Rain • Sunlight • wind • humidity

  6. The 3 main zones are • Polar • Tropical • temperate climates.

  7. North Pole Arctic Circle Tropic of Cancer Equator Tropic of Capricorn Antarctic Circle South Pole

  8. 90 N polar temperate tropical temperate polar • The angle of the Sun’s rays affects a biome’s climate. • Earth’s tilt affects seasonal change in biomes.

  9. Biosphere The part of Earth that contains all ecosystems Still with the organization….. Biosphere Ecosystem Community and its nonliving surroundings Hawk, snake, bison, prairie dog, grass, stream, rocks, air Community Populations that live together in a defined area Hawk, snake, bison, prairie dog, grass Population Group of organisms of one type that live in the same area Bison herd species population biosphere community ecosystem biome

  10. Organism

  11. Population

  12. Community

  13. Ecosystem

  14. Biome

  15. creation of wetland ecosystem increased waterfowl population nesting sites for birds keystone increased fish population keystone species • Keystone Species • a species that has is KEY to its ecosystem.

  16. Remember…. habitat niche competition predation

  17. Remember…. Symbiotic Relationships mutualism commensalism • Shark and Remora parasitism
