Investigating A Biome Of Interest.

Assignment : Investigating a biome of interest. 

We’re discussing biomes and ecosystems this week in class as we begin our discussion of Earth’s biophysical systems. To help understand what biomes are and how they function, select a biome, research it online, and answer the following six questions:

1.     Biome name?

2.     Where in the world does this biome exist? Provide the geographic description (location on earth using political boundaries) and the general latitude & longitude 

3.     What is the average annual precipitation and temperature? How does precipitation and temperature vary through the year? That is, what is the seasonality (if any) of these environmental factors? 

4.     Describe one plant that lives in this biome, and why it’s suited for this biome. 

5.     Describe one animal that lives in this biome, and why it’s suited for this biome.

6.     Discuss a current threat to this biome.

Grading criteria:

 Include a list of properly cited references (APA style preferred)

GEOG160: Homework 1: Biomes | Due: Thursday, Sept. 12th in class (9:30 AM) | 20 pts

1. Biome name: Temperate/ Deciduous forest

2. Describe locations in the world where this biome exists. Provide the geographic description (location on earth using political and/or geographic boundaries) and the latitude & longitude

· Temperate/ Deciduous forest can be found in the eastern part of North America, most of Europe and parts of China and Japan All of these locations are located above the equator in the Northern Hemisphere.

3. What is the average annual precipitation (rainfall) and temperature (degrees C and F)?

· The average annual precipitation in this biome is around 30-60 inches and the average temperature is 50˚F.

4. How does precipitation and temperature change through the year? For example, when is the peak rainy season or dry season?

· The temperature of temperate/ Deciduous forest’s usually drops to 10˚F in January and reach about 81˚F during summer time. Peak rainy season would be around March time and the dry season is in July.

5. What’s one cool plant that grows in this biome? What is one cool fact about it?

· One cool plant that grows in the temperate/ deciduous forest are the maple trees. One fact about them is that they have broader leaves than normal so they can capture maximum amount of sunlight.

6. What is one cool animal that lives in this biome? What is one cool fact about it?

· One cool animal that lives in the temperate/ deciduous forest is the red foxes. One cool fact about red foxes is during winter they grow thicker fur coats and use them as camouflage.
