05 Biome Lab

BIOME 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.

tundra grassland taiga chaparral desert scrub desert deciduous forest savannah rainforest alpine Biomes of the World

Environmental Diversity Extremely wide range of habitats temperature moisture soils vegetation

Environmental Diversity Cold & Dry Cool & Dry Warm & Wet Hot & WetHot & Very Dry Warm & Very Dry Warm & Dry trades inversion

Hawaii's Primary Terrestrial Biomes Coastal Strand Deserts Dry woodlands Subalpine grassland/shrubland Tropical rainforest Alpine deserts Mesic forests

Factors determining Biome formation in Hawaii 1.Climate 2.Substrate 3.Elevation Ko’olau tradewinds

Hawaii’s biomes are classified based on its: elevation moisture regime dominant life forms vegetation structure

Hawaii’s five elevation zones: Coastal 0-30 m Lowland m Montane m Subalpine m Alpine > 3000 m

Moisture Classification For each elevation zone, three general moisture categories are recognized: Dry - < 120 cm/yr (47in) Mesic cm/yr (46-97 in) Wet - > 250 cm/yr (98in)

Vegetative Structures Forest dense canopy has % coverage Woodland is more open, with 10-60% canopy Shrubland are distinguished by shrubs > 1m high Dwarf shrublands have a canopy height of 1 m or less Herblands are composed of small, nonwoody plants Deserts receive less than 25 cm/yr of precipitation and are sparsely vegetated
