1. Suppose you are tasked with designing a conservation reserve in a region characterized by high annual rainfall, warm temperatures year-round, and dense, layered vegetation. Based on the ecological hierarchy and biome classification, which biome would be most appropriate for this project?
2. How do biotic and abiotic factors differ in their influence on ecosystems?
3. What is the primary basis for classifying global biomes?
Ecological hierarchy — levels?
Organism, population, community, ecosystem, landscape, biome, biosphere.
Biotic factors — examples?
Predation, competition, parasitism, mutualism, pollination.
Abiotic factors — examples?
Temperature, water, sunlight, soil, water chemistry.
Biome classification — based on?
Latitude, elevation, precipitation, temperature.
Polar biome — location?
Arctic and Antarctic regions.
Alpine biome — location?
High elevations above the tree line.
