Biomes

terrestrial aquatic Lg. region --- terrestrial or aquatic regions 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 Biomes

Biosphere Ecosystem Community Population The part of Earth that contains all ecosystems Community and its nonliving surroundings Populations that live together in a defined area Group of organisms of one type that live in the same area Biosphere Hawk, snake, bison, prairie dog, grass, stream, rocks, air Hawk, snake, bison, prairie dog, grass Bison herd speciespopulation communityecosystem biosphere biome
