Tropical Rain Biome

A biome is a large area or habitat that occupies the earth. Animals, plants along with flora and fauna occupy biome habitats. They cleverly adapt to their environment and geographical location. The area that I have chosen to research are the Flinders Ranges. The Flinders Rangers are in South Australia, covering 37,000 square kilometres. The biome expands from Crystal Brook in the south to Mount Hopeless in the north. There are several main general features associated with this semi-arid biome. It has landforms that are above sea level. The biome has high mountain ranges with summits reaching 900 metres. The area has steep gorges, cliffs, ridges and plateaus. The biome edges have grasslands and foothills which contain creeks, gorges, valleys,

This biome is large community of plants and animals..Also, biomes, such as the forest, freshwater, and marine,may have more consequences . The most imports biomes are the freshwater and marine because those biomes help us get water to drink and for the crops and the marine biome is also important the study of the between people and the physical environment of the sea.

A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. The climate and geography of a region determines what type of biome can exist in that region. Major biomes include deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra, and several types of aquatic environment. As can see on the topography map, The Goulburn has two Biomes:-

Amazon rainforest has a tropical climate or also know as the equatorial climate. It is humid throughout the year and has an average temperature of 28 degree celsius. We can not really divide the climate between summer and winter as it has a annual temperature range of 2 degree celsius. The temperature difference between day and night is about 2 to 5 degree celsius. The climate is not as hot as we may except it rarely goes above 30 degree celsius. but the only trouble in the rainforest is the humidity which causes a feeling of lack of air. Due to the humidity we can not really see a dry season in the amazon as it rains thought out the year. We can divide rainfall in Amazon into into two parts rainy and not so rainy.

Summer: Refreshing sea breezes allow for pleasing conditions. Temperatures average to about 25*C (78*F) with 11 to 12 hours of daylight. It does not rain much during this season, about 29 dry days per month. Southeastern regions are affected by a subtropical anticyclone that permits temperatures to rise to 40*C.

The tropical rainforest biome is an ecosystem covering around 6% of the Earth’s surface and being a home to over 50% of the plant and animal species. These environments are hot and humid all year round, with the average amount of rainfall being 250cm per year. The temperatures in a rain forest minimum tends to be around 20OC with the temperature not rising above 34OC regularly. Tropical rainforests are found spanning from both sides of the equator between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn meaning rainforests are in Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia.

My biome is the Taiga. One place the Taiga can be found is Oslo,Norway. Some abiotic factors in the Taiga are rain, sunlight, soil, temperature, and wind. Some biotic factors are moose, black bears, wolves, moss, and pine trees. Those abiotic and biotic factors interact a lot. There are four levels of organization. They are species, population, community, and ecosystem. An ecosystem is all the biotic and abiotic factors in a specific place. An example of a ecosystem in the Taiga is spruce trees, pine trees, mushrooms, owls, and bears. Those are only a few of the abiotic and biotic factors that make up the Taiga.

The taiga biome is very different then the temperate deciduous forest where Oxford is. It is full of mountains, evergreens, and rivers. Winters in this biome are cold and snowy, while the summer is warm, rainy, and humid. The high in the summer can get up to 70ºF, the low can go to 20ºF. The high in the winter is 30ºF, with the low being

Almost half of Africa is considered a savanna. Because of the extended periods of wet and dry climate in the savanna biome, the availability of food changes throughout the year. Some animals go so long without water during the dry season that they barely make it alive to the wet season. The savanna biome is mostly made up of grass but there are a few trees. Because of the availability of grass

Here you can find a Barbados Lily. It is a beautiful soft orange lily that blooms for 10 months out of the year. It adapts by not requiring a lot of sun. Also there is the Adiantum capillus- veneris. It is a fern that is green and can grow up to 6-12 inches. This plant adapts by being able to grow in moist areas. Then there is the Toothed Clubmoss. This plant adapts by growing in layers. The temperature in this biome averages from 64 ℉ to 93℉. The temperature varies little in change. The yearly rainfall here is around 80- 400 inches. The yearly rainfall is distributed evenly. The latitude of the tropical rainforest is 15 ° to 25° North and South. This biome is located near the equator. This biome is found all around the world. The soil in this biome is poor in nutrients and acidic. It is also wet and damp. Decomposition in the soil occurs rapidly in this

A savanna is a grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. Because of the availability of grass in the savanna, there are many grazing animals who take advantage of this abundant food supply. Because of this abundance, the savanna biome is rich

A biome, also known as life zones, consists of all plants, animals, and other organisms, as well the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its’ plant life, climate, and location. The climate and physical features determine the boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra, taiga, tropical rain forest, temperate forests, desert, grassland, savanna, chaparral, and marine. Each biome has it’s own characteristics such as the tundra.

The Aquatic biome is the most significant out of all of the five biomes. Water is essential and important for life here on Earth. It’s what we all need in order to survive. Water also supports life, and many different species live in it, or for some parts of their life. Since water covers one-thirds of the Earth, the temperature of the aquatic biome tends to be humid and slightly cool. It is fairly constant so it can be able to tolerate life. This region is filled with so many different species of animals some big and some even small. The Aquatic biome is broken into two regions freshwater and marine

Varies from tropical to temperate, depending the elevation. There are mainly two seasons, the rainy from July to November and the dry one the rest of the year.

     The climate is dry and hot from March to May and wet during typhoon season
