81. Biomes And Ecosystems
    biomes/ECOSYSTEMS. AN INTERNET BASED LESSON PLAN. Students will work in cooperativelearning groups to identify and describe various biomes/ecosystems on Earth.  
    http://www.gsu.edu/~mstjrh/biomes.html
    
    Extractions: Goal: Students will work in cooperative learning groups to identify and describe various biomes/ecosystems on Earth. Students will utilize the Internet to conduct research on the particularities of each biome and how life varies in different biomes. Ecological problems and hazards facing each biome will also be addressed. Overview: Students will discuss the manners in which a geographic environment affects life and then create a list of various types of environmental settings, or ecosystems, that exist on earth. The class will then discuss biomes and be divided into small working groups. Each group will research a virtual expedition into a certain eco-regions of the world. Groups will study each expedition and how life is affected by that region. Students will then make groups presentations on their findings and discuss ecological threats to their region. Materials: Computers with Internet access, projection device. INVITATION Students will be asked to brainstorm about ways in which their geographic environment affects their life. They should be encouraged to describe manners in which a geographic environment different from theirs would affect their life and other life forms. A separate brainstorm should then be done listing various types of environmental settings, or ecosystems, that exist on earth. Biome should then be introduced and defined. A discussion contrasting and comparing lifestyles in varying biomes can be encouraged. Students should then be divided into small working groups. Group size to be determined by class size and computer availability, as each group will require use of a computer.

    Extractions: Photos Of Adaptations Some Definitions Biome: A large geographical region whose climate produces a characteristic climax association of plants and animals. The term biome usually refers to terrestrial habitats (on land). In North America there are about six major biomes. Aquatic ecosystems, such as the ocean, are often subdivided into different zones, such as the intertidal, pelagic, benthic, photic and aphotic zones. Plant Community: An assemblage or association of certain dominant indicator species occupying a given region. In California the desert biome consists of several different plant communities, such as the creosote bush scrub, shadscale scrub, sagebrush scrub, Joshua tree woodland and pinyon-juniper woodland. The local chaparral and coastal sage scrub plant communities surrounding Palomar College are condidered part of an arid desert biome. Some general biology textbooks have added a seventh biome called the "shrubland biome" to encompass these brushy habitats. Chaparral: A plant community composed of dense, impenetrable, shrubby vegetation adapted to a Mediterranean climate with winter-wet and summer-dry seasons. The plant community is well-developed in the mountains of San Diego County. Following periodic brush fires, many of the shrub species resprout from subterranean lignotubers.

    Extractions: The dominant influences on vegetation type and productivity are temperature and availability of water. Extremes of temperature and lack of water tend to go together so ice deserts ocur at the poles and hot deserts near the tropics. Two factors determine temperature: available sun (angle and daylength) and altitude. There is a tendency to see similar vegetation changes progressing south or north from the equator or rising in altitude: rain forest temperate forest taiga (boreal forest) tundra. This pattern is modified by availability of water, particularly in the tropics where prevalent winds carry moisture towards the equator. The winds converge at the equator; the rising air cools depositing rainfall and maintaining rainforest. The interiors of continents close to the tropics tend to be very dry - deserts. Looking at the vegetation map of the world we are struck by the fact that much of the land surface is unfavorable for plant growth. Desert is the largest of the biomes. Tropical rainforest It is only in the tropical rainforest that water and temperature are continuously favorable for plant growth. This makes it the most diverse and productive biome. There can be as many as 10,000 species of plant per hectare. In this environment nutrients are mostly in living organisms and cycle rapidly; so that soils are deficient in nutrients. Microbial activity is very rapid and little organic matter accumulates in the soil.

    WORLD biomes. Basically then, deserts, tropical rainforests, temperateforests, Mediterranean garrigue, tundra etc are all biomes.  
    http://www.geographypages.co.uk/biomes.htm
    
    Extractions: WORLD BIOMES A BIOME is defined by the Longman Geography Handbook as: " an ecosystem that covers a large area of the earth's surface - land or water. It may be recognised as a formation-type (a large area of world vegetation with the same dominant life-form throughout), together with the other organisms that live in the foundation-type" Basically then, deserts, tropical rainforests, temperate forests, Mediterranean garrigue, tundra etc are all biomes. They are generally controlled by the climate of the region, but within that broad definition, all levels of inter-relationships develop. Each climate will also develop its own climax vegetation. This page contains information on TROPICAL RAIN FORESTS and DESERTS. LESSON PLANS are further down the page. TROPICAL RAIN FORESTS CLICK HERE TO GO TO YEAR 9 RAINFOREST PROJECT DETAILS There is a huge amount of material on this biome on the Internet, and the problem is finding material at an appropriate level for your particular project or lesson. All of the links below would have relevant material for Key Stage 3 or higher. Rainforests cover 2% of the earth's surface, or 6% of its landmass. They house over half the earth's plant and animal species. They originally covered twice the area they cover today.

    Extractions: Scientists have classified areas with similar climates, plants, and animals into divisions called biomes. Because biomes divisions are merely a system to help scientists describe the natural world, not all scientists agree on the kinds and numbers of biomes. However, most scientists accepts at least six land biomes and two water biomes. The major land biomes are tundra, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, tropical rain forest, grassland, and desert. The two water biomes are the marine, or ocean biomes and the freshwater biome. List the eight major biomes, plus any additional ones you may find in a chart. List examples of plants, animals and type of climate. FOR STUDENT ACTIVITY GO TO: STUDENT'S ACTIVITY After you have completed the student's activity you must do the Student's Project.
