- Choose a specific biome between the marine, freshwater, or any terrestrial biome. Discuss the types of plants and animals in that biome. Describe the climate and any non-living components (such as water, rocks, soil) of the biome. Where can the biome be found? What biogeochemical cycles occur in this biome? Are there any reservoirs for the nutrients? Where can the nutrients be found and what processes do they go through as they transition to a different reservoir? Describe at least two of the biogeochemical cycles and the nutrients and minerals that move through them in your chosen biome.arrow_forwardWhat characteristics of the human body as a system are similar to the Earth as a system?
