Biomes

Grasslands, characterized by a range of biotic and abiotic features, are found in regions such as Africa, South America, Eurasia, and North America. They host a variety of primary producers like cyanobacteria and trees, and primary and secondary consumers such as rabbits and small deer.

Biomes

Biomes

Tundra

Climate Change is the biggest ecological threat
Nickel, Copper, Coal, Gold, Uranium, Tungsten, Diamond, Oil, and Iron.
Due to the extreme temperatures there would be a less likely amount of human population and it would be similar to the desert biome.

Precipitation, Temperature, Permafrost, Wind

Low Shrubs, Crustose and Foliose Lichens, Herbivores, Carnivores, Migratory Birds, Insects, Fish

Top of the world, near the north pole.

Savanna

Climate change, specific farming practices, overgrazing, aggressive agriculture irrigation, deforestation and erosion.
Natural Rescources
A lot of metal resources including Bauxite, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Silver, Nickel, Tin, Gold etc.
Subtopic

The Savanna is more likely to be inhabited by humans however still not super likely as the boreal forest.

Climate, Soil, Topography, Precipitation, Hills, Prairies, Rocks, Cliffs, Gullies

Trees, Grasses, Shrubs, Mosses, Lichens, Insects, Fungi, Larger Animals

Africa, South America, Australia, and India.

Chaparral / Mediterranean

Wild fires and human development, habitat destruction, air pollution, water pollution, climate change and global warming.
Trees, animals(fur),rocks
Very Populated by humans

Mountains, Rocks and Water (small amount)

Foxes, Ferns, Trees, Ticks, Broom rapes, Pumas, Coyotes and Rabbits

US West Coast, South America's West Coast, South Africa's Cape Town, Australia's Western Tip, Coast of the Mediterranean.

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Acid rain caused by industrial and vehicular emissions.
Trees, Flora, Fauna, and Ecosystems.
Populated by many humans if not #1 in the biomes

Rocks, Soil, Water, Sunlight, Air, Climate, Rain, Hills, Temperature, Air

Deciduous Trees, Birch Trees, Oak Trees, Red tailed hawk, common lime, coyote, chipmunks, white-tailed deer.

Locaction
Half of the United States, Canada, Europe, parts of Russia, China, and Japan.

Desert

Global Warming because it creates in increase of wildfires as well as a drought.
Mineral Salts, Copper, Uranium, Iron
Less than most of the biomes.

Sand

Scorpions, Coyotes, Snakes, Spiders, Lizard and Cacti

North Africa, Southwestern U.S, Mexico and Australia.

Grassland

Global Warming, Urban Development, Pesticides
Temperate Grassland - Wheat, Coal, Oil, Corn, Livestock, Gas and Oats
Tropical Grassland - Water, Lumber, and Livestock.
Similar to desert so there would be less human population

Climate, Parental material and soil, Topography, Natural Disturbances.

Primary and Secondary Consumers (Rabbits, Moles, Small Deer etc.)

Primary Producers ( cyanobacteria, mosses, lichens, trees etc)

Africa, South America, Eurasia and plains of North America

Boreal / Taiga Forest

Logging, Mining, Oil and Gas, Hydro.
Wood, Oil
Since Canada and Russia are well populated areas it is assumed that there will be a higher population than most of the others.

Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Rocks, and Precipitation

Mammals, Insects (32,000 species), trees,

Canada and Russia

Rainforest

Ecological Threats
Logging, Deforestation, Cattle Grazing, Soya Plantations, Palm Oil, Mining,
Natural Resources
Farming, Mining, Ranching and Timber
Human Population
Due to the intense humidity it would not be super likely for a lot of humans to live in the rain forest biomes.
Characteristics
Abiotic Features

Soil Nutrients, Sunlight, and a Warm Climate

Biotic Features

Plants, Bamboo, Coconut Trees, Curare Plant, Animals ( Colobus Monkey, Sloth, and Lemurs)

Location
Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia
