Terrestrial biome and aquatic/marine biome/ecosystem
For both your selected terrestrial biome and aquatic/marine biome/ecosystem discuss the following:
1) Characterize the terrestrial biome by describing the following:
- Climate (average temperature and precipitation).
- Where in the world does it occur, including “where” that it is closest to us here in south Florida or does it occur here?
- Description of the soil.
- Describe the dominant plants and animals. In addition to the names/species describe how they are adapted to that biome.
- How are humans impacting this biome?
- What do you like or dislike about the biome?
- Any other noteworthy comments or unique aspects of the biome.
2) Characterize the aquatic/marine ecosystem by describing the following:
- Water conditions; including, but not limited to salt concentration, dissolved oxygen, dissolved nutrients, standing/flowing,average depth, average temperature.
- Where in the world does it occur? Any examples found in south Florida or close by otherwise?
- Describe the dominant plants (or other producers) and animals. How are they adapted to this ecosystem (other than just being adapted to living in water in general)?
- How are humans impacting this biome?
- What do you like or dislike about the biome?
- Any other noteworthy or unique aspects of the biome.
