Abiotic features of the Tundra are winds, rainfall, short summer days, long cold winters, soil and permafrost. The nomal winter temperature is -34 degrees Celsius while the normal summer temperature is 3-12 degrees. There is low precipitation usually 38 cm yearly. Permafrost is the frozen subsoil consisting of gravel and fine soil.

There are very little plants due to harsh environment however some have adapted to this.
Examples of Flora include Alpine moss, arctic grass, Antarctic pearlwort.

Examples of Flora include Alpine moss, arctic grass, Antarctic pearlwort, reindeer mosses, sedges, shrubs etc. Examples of Fauna include reindeer, polar bears, foxes, wolves, birds and rabbits, goats, caribou, marmots, elks, penguins etc.
Global warming increases the chance of drought.
Higher temperatures can cause wildfires that affect other species.
Irrigation used for agriculture may lead to salt levels in the soil that is too high to support plants. Also pollution like nuclear waste being dumped since these biomes are used for testing grounds.
The natural resources of the desert are oil, natural gas and metals and minerals.
There are a lot of oil fields in the desert biomes which makes it very easy for others to exploit the resource.
Minerals like iron, gold, silver, lead-zinc ores etc are found in areas near the water table, which concentrates the minerals so ore can be mined.
This includes precipitation, water availability, sunlight, and temperature For precipitation most deserts get 25 cm of rain a year. Plants grow from the water under the ground. Temperatures very a lot during the day since there is no water to store heat from the day. Some days the temperature can reach 100 degrees fahrenheit but drop to 32 degrees at night.

There aren't many plants in the desert since they have to adapt to living in such a dry environment. Examples of Flora in the desert include Tumbleweed, Prickly Pear Cacti, Saguaro Cactus, Mexican Poppies, Weathered Trees, Wildflowers, Joshua tree, Brittle bush etc. Examples of Fauna include the African wild dog, bobcats, armadillo, coyote, desert tortoise, gazelles etc.
This biome covers 1/5 of the world's surface, some deserts are hot and some are cold. The largest desert in the world is actually Antarctica and the largest for the hot deserts in the Sahara. They can also be found in North America, southern Asia, South and central America, Ethiopia and Australia.
The man ecological threats to the savanna are human activities, drought and heavy grazing, desertification, and carbon emissions.
Human activities like hunting as a sport, unsustainable water usage, over harvesting of plants etc. are causing negative impacts to the biome.
Drought and heavy grazing change the grasses in the area from being edible to inedible
Desertification is caused by climate change, farming, overgrazing, agriculture irrigation, deforestation and erosion.
Carbon emissions can cause an increase in the amount of trees and shrubs which would threaten the savanna since those plants need more water than grasses.
The natural resources in the savanna are water, oil, livestock, wood, and a variety of metals.
Even though the savannas are typically very dry there are major rivers that flow for the people of the savanna to use and the animals as well.
The savanna have a lot of space for grazing herds of livestock for their meat and milk.
Trees in the savanna are used for building lumber or for fuel
There are a lot of areas where oil drilling is taking place.
Examples of metal resources are nickel, lead, zinc, gold, manganese, uranium etc.
Abiotic features of the savanna include rainfall, soil, and climate change. The rainfall helps decide what category each savanna would fall into: wet, dry and thornbush. If there is a lot of rainfall than the savannas have a short dry season lasting 3-5 months. When there is less rain the dry season ranges from 5-7 months. When the rainfall becomes rare the thornbush savannas have dry seasons that are longer than 7 months. The soil have low fertility. The most fertile soil is found underneath the scattered trees from the tree's fallen and decaying leaves. Climate change is one of the more important features since the some savannas will expand or shrink due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere. This will have a significant impact on the animals, plants and insects that live in those areas.

The savanna have many different types of plants that are specialized to grow in that type of environment. The majority of the savanna is covered in grass and trees. Examples of Flora include Rhodes grass, red oats grass, star grass, lemon grass, pine trees, palm trees and acacia trees. Examples of Fauna in this biome include insects like grasshoppers, caterpillars, and large mammals like buffalo, zebra, hippos, rhinos, elephants etc.

There are other resources like, soil, grains, coal, wheats.
The rich soil is ideal for farming and grazing making it a perfect spot for farmers. Grasslands now supply corn, wheat and other grains, as well as grazing sheep and cattle.
About 800 million people live in the grasslands. In the Americas, the majority of the land has been turned in agricultural uses and urban uses Not a lot of people live in the Steppe climate because of conditions
Abiotic features include temperature, humidity, topography, percipitation, sunlight, soil. The temperature of the grasslands is very high near the Equator and mid to low near the subartic areas. Grasslands near the Equator are either tropical or temperate grasslands. The precipitation determines the amount and types of plants and trees that grow. Humidity is the percentage of moisture in the air. Tropical grasslands are very humid. Temperate grasslands are somewhat humid., but at times can be dry and have little moisture in the air. Topography is the elevation and land features of the biome. Tropical grasslands are very unique some in areas of high elevation and some in low elevation. The soil is fertile and nutrient rich and are able to support the grasses and wildflowers that grow out there.

Grasses are the main type of plants in the grasslands. Trees and shrubs are rarely seen there. There are a lot of different species of grasses in this biome like purple needlegrass, wild oats, foxtain, ryegrass, and buffalo grass. Popular flowers that may be found growing on grasslands are asters, blazing stars, goldenrods, sunflowers, clovers, and wild indigos. Examples of Fauna include gazelles, zebras, rhinos, wild horses, lions, wolves, prairie dogs, jack rabbits, deer, mice, coyotes, foxes, skunks, badgers, blackbirds, hawks, snakes, grasshoppers etc.

This biome is home to large human populations. An example of this is California since it is apart of this biome. This is why we hear about a lot of fire incidents over on the west coast. There are two National Parks that help protect this biome. The Los Padres National Forest and the Channel Islands National Park.
This biome has been negatively affected by human development many natural resources like trees, grasses, brushes which are home to a lot of different species have been destroyed to accommodate growing human populations.
Water diversions and damming have caused the creation of many endangered species.
The Abiotic Features of this biome include, soil, Humidity, altitude, wildfires, sunlight, rocks, mild winters.
The soil of the biome is very dry and dusty. the soil contains little nutrients. This makes it hard for vegetation to grow.
The humidity is very low but during the winter months in rises.
The Altitude ranges from sea levels up to altitudes of 1500 meters.
Wildfires occur often due to the biomes dry and moistureless nature of the environment.
