Ecosystems & Biomes
What is A Biome ???
Biomes are larger and similar to an ecosystem. But a biome is made of many similar ecosytem.
Biomes SubDivisions ...
These divisions are based on climate patterns, soil types, and the animals and plants that inhabit an area.
There are a couple of different ways to look at the number of biomes. Some like to divide biomes into five basic types: aquatic, forest, desert, tundra, and grassland.
Aquatic Biome The aquatic biome consists of any part of Earth that is covered with water. This includes freshwater and salt water. The aquatic biome can be further divided into freshwater biomes, marine biomes, wetland biomes, coral reef biomes, and estuaries. These subdivisions are based on the salt content of the water, the aquatic plants that live there, and the aquatic animals that thrive there.
How Do We Affect the Ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a living system that includes the sun as an energy source, soil, rocks, water, air, plant life and living beings. We humans are only one part of any ecosystem, but many people believe that we have a disproportionate effect. Our actions tend to affect not just our surroundings, but the world at large.
