Choose one terrestrial biome and one aquatic/marine biome as covered within your textbook for chapter 52. Check the board first and see if anybody else has chosen either of those.
For both your selected terrestrial biome and aquatic/marine biome/ecosystem discuss the following:
1) Characterize the terrestrial biome by describing the following:
-Where in the world does it occur, including “where” that it is closest to us here in south Florida or does it occur here?
-Description of the soil.
-Describe the dominant plants and animals. In addition to the names/species describe how they are adapted to that biome.
-How are humans impacting this biome?
-What do you like or dislike about the biome?
-Any other noteworthy comments or unique aspects of the biome.
2) Characterize the aquatic/marine ecosystem by describing the following:
-Water conditions; including, but not limited to salt concentration, dissolved oxygen, dissolved nutrients, standing/flowing,
average depth, average temperature.
-Where in the world does it occur? Any examples found in south Florida or close by otherwise?
-Describe the dominant plants and animals. How are they adapted to this ecosystem?
-How are humans impacting this biome?
-What do you like or dislike about the biome?
-Any other noteworthy or unique aspects of the biome.
