Extractions: A ZOO FOR POWAY The town of Poway has decided to designate a portion of Big Sky Reserve to become the site of a new zoo for the residents of the town. After Mrs. Annie Mall mentioned at the Town Meeting that a group of 4th graders in Room 14 had been learning about biomes, it was unaminously decided by the Town Council that this group of students should act as the designers for this new zoo. Ewe Got The Job!! Your job as one of the designers is to research the climate, locations, plants and animals contained within a biome. The Town Council has indicated that it would like the zoo to be set up as six different display areas, one for each biome. It is your responsibilty to report back to the Town Council with a recommendation of which plants and animals should be included in each of the biomes, as well as the climatic conditions that will be needed to ensure nature's cycle for all the plants and animals. A model will also need to be create so that the Council has a good visual idea of what the enclosure will look like. The Council would also like informational plaques at the beginning of each of the biomes' display areas with a brief summary of the biome, including locations around the world where the biome exists. Bear in Mind . . .

Extractions: World Biomes is as an interactive textbook of the world's major terrestrial biomes. Map Window : Shows the geographical distribution of the biomes as well as a series of map overlays. Use the popup menu or the arrow buttons to browse the different biomes. Description Window : A general text overvue of the current biome. Climate Graph : Plots all the terrestrial biomes in terms of amount of precipitation and yearly average temperature. You can browse the biomes by clicking in the various regions of the graph. Climate Control : Adjust slider controls for precipitation, temperature, and latitude. World Biomes will find a biome that matches the new settings (if one exists). Climate Examples : Shows a temperature/precipitation graph for a city in the current biome. A graph for a second, reference climate can also be displayed making it easy to compare, for example, the climate of the temperate forest and the Savanna. Vegetation Examples : This window characterizes the vegetation of the current biome as well as plant adaptations to that biomes climatic conditions. Information is also availabale on regional differences in vegetation for a biome (for example, how similar or dissimilar is the vegetation of the rain forests found in Africa and South America).

Vegetation includes shrubs and cactus plants. Animals include birds and rodents.

Careful examination of the various projects will help you answer these questions. Direct links to each page, to help you find answers, can be found at the bottom of this page. 1. Climatograms summarize what information about a biome? 2a. In what ways are the climatograms of the desert biome similar to those of the boreal coniferous biome? b. In what ways are the climatograms of the desert biome different than the boreal coniferous biome? c. Why is the boreal coniferous biome sometimes referred to as an "arctic desert"? 3a. Explain how trees in the boreal coniferous biome are well adapted to their very dry climate and state why these adaptations are necessary. b. What other biome has trees that show similar adaptations? 4. The common rabbit/hare of the temperate deciduous biome is the cottontail rabbit. The common hare/rabbit of the boreal coniferous biome is the snowshoe hare. What characteristics do each animal have that are advantageous to their biome? 5. Kenya and Arizona are both very warm areas. How are their climates similar and different?
Biomes

http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/listbiomesm.html

Extractions: Franklin Middle School Introduction Comprehensive Sites Aquatic Sites Land Sites ... Specific Sites The biosphere is the part of the earth in which life exists. It includes land, air, and water. The biosphere can be divided into biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors. Biotic factors include all living organisms from bacteria to animals and plants. Abiotic factors include climate, soil type, elevation, etc. Biomes are specific locations in the biosphere containing similar biotic and abiotic factors. The land biomes are: 1. tundra, 2. taiga, 3. grassland, 4. desert, 5. tropical rainforest, and 6. temperate deciduous forest. The aquatic biomes are: 1. freshwater, 2. marine-intertidal zone, 3. marine-neritic zone, 4. marine-open sea zone, 5. marine-deep sea zone, and 6. estuaries. Your challenge is to research a particular biome and become our class expert. You will create a poster depicting one of the twelve biomes/zones. Once you've become an expert, you and your partner/group will share your knowledge with the class by giving a short presentation. Consult the 'Who Fits Here?' Biome Presentation Project handout for more specific information. Biomes of the World - Links to six land biomes, three freshwater biomes, and three marine biomes. Lots of information if you follow the links.

Energy Generation: Energy From Renewable Resources [ Biomes ] Biogeography Biodiversity Exotic Species Agriculture and Food Production ... Managing the Environment Biomes The human mind seems to require that we group things into categories. Many of the things we group into categories are continuous, not discrete, such as color, temperature, moisture levels. Communities of species are the same way. Sometimes we can see discrete boundaries on the landscape, such as the edge of a lake where it meets the shore. More often than not, however, changes are gradual. So, when we talk about biomes, keep in mind that they are a human construction to help us understand the distribution of organisms on the face of the earth, but not actually "real." Also, each investigator has a slightly different way of naming and categorizing biomes. If you look at five different books that describe biomes, you will see five different treatments. The important thing is to understand the variation and be able to describe the major features of each type. An excellent Web Site with vegetation and plant distribution maps is: http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/branner/vegmaps.htm

Extractions: Biome Preserve Project by Patty Burchett and Jill Czack Introduction Task Resources Process ... Conclusion Introduction It is now the year 2020. You are in your 40s and you have children of your own. You remember in your youth when there were only 6 billion people on Earth and vast open spaces and natural habitats in the various biomes of the world. Now, with 14 billion people on Earth, natural biomes are a rarity. Your love of nature and college major in biology has led you to a career working for the World Biome Preserve Association set up by the United Nations. It is an organization similar to the National Parks Systems in the United States. It is a global park system containing the unspoiled natural habitats of the 6 different biomes around the world. You work in the travel and tourism division. Next Page comments or questions please e-mail me at t pburchett@woodford.k12.ky.us
Biomes Of North America - Lecture Note: Introduction
biomes of North America Lecture Notes. Present-day biomes were rapidly establishingstarting some 5,000 years ago as the climate cooled to its present norm.
http://www.inform.umd.edu/PBIO/biome/lec35.html

Extractions: The North American continent is the home of a diverse array of plants and animals all occupying a multitude of ecological sites in a variety of climatic regimes. The biota of North America - the sum total of its living creatures - when considered in relation to climatic, soil and physiographic features allows biologists to recognize grand associations which are termed biomes. The purpose of these lecture notes on biomes is to provide the student with an awareness of life from the arctic to the tropics. Our goal is to make you, the young men and women who are the future, cognizant of the living creatures, the land and the environment of this portion of the planet so that as you go forth into the world you will be aware of life on earth and your role in its future. To understand the present flora, it is useful to understand in broad terms the fate of the flora over the last 18,000 years. The Atlas of Paleovegetation is a good place to begin that review.
