Biomes How do biomes affect life forms?

Biomes:

 Ecology:

Biomes:  Ecology: The study of relationships between living things in an environment with other living things and non- living things.

Biomes:  Ecosystem:

Biomes:  Ecosystem: All of the living things in a given area, interacting with each other, and also with the non-living components.

Biomes:  Community:

Biomes:  Community: All living things which live in a particular area.

Biomes:  Community: All living things which live in a particular area.  Population:

Biomes:  Community: All living things which live in a particular area.  Population: All individuals of a specific species within a community.

Biomes:  Community: All living things which live in a particular area.  Population: All individuals of a specific species within a community.  Species:

Biomes:  Community: All living things which live in a particular area.  Population: All individuals of a specific species within a community.  Species: Organisms which share characteristics and can breed together.

Biomes:  Habitat:

Biomes:  Habitat: The place where an organism lives and obtains its resources for survival.

Biomes:  Biotic factors:

Biomes:  Biotic factors: All organisms in an ecosystem (is alive or was once alive).

Biomes:  Biotic factors: All organisms in an ecosystem (is alive or was once alive).  Abiotic factors:

Biomes:  Biotic factors: All organisms in an ecosystem (is alive or was once alive).  Abiotic factors: Has never been alive.

Biomes:  Definition?

Biomes:  Definition? –An area of land ecosystems with similar climate and organisms.

Biomes:  What makes a biome? –Biomes are determined based primarily on climate.  Climate includes temperature and precipitation and is the typical weather pattern over a long period of time.

Biomes:  How does it work?

Biomes:  How does it work? –Climate determines the kinds of plant species that can survive.

Biomes:  How does it work? –Climate determines the kinds of plant species that can survive. –Plants determine the kinds of animals that can survive.

Biomes:  Biodiversity:

Biomes:  Biodiversity: Includes the variations within a species, the variety of species and habitat types within an area.

Biomes:  Biodiversity: Includes the variations within a species, the variety of species and habitat types within an area.  Limiting Factors:

Biomes:  Biodiversity: Includes the variations within a species, the variety of species and habitat types within an area.  Limiting Factors: Any factor that prevent a population from growing larger.
