Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home North American Biomes by Lois Van Wagner Contents of Curriculum Unit 92.05.12: Narrative Biomes The Desert Grasslands ... To Guide Entry This unit on North American biomes will be a comparative study of each of the biomes’ biotic and abiotic factors. We will look at representative species of both plants and animals for each of the biomes, and try to develop food chains from those organisms. Since an understanding of the physical environment is important to the understanding of the special adaptations some plants and animals have evolved with, we will also examine such things as temperature ranges, amount of moisture, presence of extremes of wind, sunlight or lack of sunlight, and soil types. Wherever possible live animals and plants will be examined and kept for observation terrariums. On our collecting expeditions I hope to find various small plants, insects, caterpillars, etc. that we can safely keep for a while in aquariums or terrariums. Within each area we will focus on the healthy environment and discuss some of the contemporary problems that each area is facing in regards to pollution, habitat reduction, and poaching. Classroom discussions will be extended to include the African and South American biomes and their special animals, adaptations, and problems. An important part of the unit will be the hands-on activities that can be incorporated into the lessons. For each biome there will be a special activity that is either observational or participational. Each student will produce a Biome book of their own as a result of a group study of the biome. The students will work cooperatively to produce a better product of their own.

BIOMES OF THE WORLD Introduction Task Resources Process ... Conclusion Introduction Animals and plants around the world are in danger of becoming extinct. Man has caused much of the danger to different areas, because of his constant development of land for homes, businesses, and industry, with no thought to the environment. Fires have destroyed much of the deciduous forest in the United States. The television shows announcements about the constant destruction of the rainforest, which is the home for many endangered animals and plants. Droughts are destroying more plants, which means even less food and homes for animals. Your group will be doing research on a biome, and will be developing visuals and a play to convince others of the importance of your particular biome, and why it should be protected. You will be televising this play, with visuals, props, and any music you choose. Remember, your biome may be destroyed if you cannot convince others of its importance The Task Students will work in cooperative groups conducting computer research on a specific biome to: writing a report about a specific biome

Redistributed as a Service of the National Library for the Environment Ecosystems, Biomes, and Watersheds: Definitions and Use M. Lynne Corn Specialist in Natural Resources Policy Environment and Natural Resources Policy Division July 14, 1993 93-655 ENR SUMMARY Due to conflicts in many areas such as old growth forests in the Northwest, the Everglades in south Florida, Chesapeake Bay, and the Rio Grande watershed, many people are advocating a broader approach to management of land and water resources and biological diversity. They argue that existing laws run at cross purposes, or that the plethora of requirements under many laws and regulations means that no land use decision is ever final. As a result, and from a surprising range of philosophical platforms, many in Congress are advocating "ecosystem management" in various land use and conservation issues. Yet, there is little agreement, even in the scientific community, on the meaning of the term ecosystem. This paper describes the meaning and applications of ecosystem and of the related terms watershed and biome.

Insects Home Eastern Wildflowers General Topics Natural History Ecology Family Environment Evolution Home Education Home Conservation Geophysics Paleontology Commercial Organizations Return to Biomes and Habitats Main Page A Short Introduction to Terrestrial Biomes Naturalists have also noted that as one goes up a mountain, the vegatation zones tend to mirror the larger biomes as the temperature and precipitation change. These changes in vegetation types are sometimes called "life zones". The classic example is the San Francisco Mountains in northern Arizona. On the north side of the mountains the vegetation at the base is a scrub desert changing to a desert dominated by the dry adapted trees pinyon pine and juniper. As the elevation increases the forest changes to Ponderosa Pine, then to a spruce-douglas fir habitat very similar to the taiga, and finally changes to an alpine zone similar to tundra in its appearance on the top of the mountain peaks. Ecologists have proposed a series of biomes for the oceans of the world as well, although most of their attention has focused on terrestrial biomes. The ocean biomes are sometimes divided into a littoral zone (rocky shores, salt marshes, and beaches), a pelagic zone (the upper layers of the ocean), and an abyssal zone (the deeper levels of the ocean). Other more complicated classifications of ocean habitats have been proposed.

What's a biome? Biomes are simply environments that have some things in common. Their climates and the organisms that live in them are similar. Grouping environments into biomes helps scientists to study and to better understand the natural world.

Biomes in a Box Anne McDonald and Michael O'Hare 1991 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute Objective: Students will construct a model of a biome which will illustrate the various biotic and abiotic factors unique to that biome. Procedure: Students are asked to build a three-dimensional model of a biome in a box (larger than a shoebox) using everyday materials. Included in the model should be representative examples of flora and fauna, and it should show the terrain (mountainous, flat, shoreline, etc.). The inside walls of the box should be decorated (painted, collaged with photos, etc.) . Taped onto one side of the box should be a written description of all of the characteristics of the biome (elevation, precipitation levels, temperature , flora, fauna, etc). Taped onto the other side of the box is a world map indicating (by color, outline, etc.) the locations of this biome. Extensions: Creative writing: Choose an animal or plant in your biome of study that you might like to become. Write an autobiography about yourself as that organism in which you tell about your life history from birth or germination to death. Describe your interactions with abiotic and biotic factors in your environment. Include a discussion of your daily routine. Explain WHY you chose the biome and the organism that you wrote about.

Be able to identify the major forest biomes and cover types which occur in North America. 2. Know the most important species which occur in each forest biome. Forest trees may be grouped according to the dominant vegetation composition and/or locality factors. This type of grouping is referred to as a forest cover type Vegetation groups can also be split into biomes. Biomes are a means of classifying vegetation into distinct groups, at a very broad scale. North America is comprised of 11 very different biomes, including...
