Textbook Question
Chapter 54, Problem 2COQ
Based on your knowledge of biomes, identify the biome in which you live. List and describe the organisms that you have observed in your biome. Why might your observations not fit the biome predicted to occur in your area from temperature/precipitation profiles?

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.
In a tabular form, compare the different biomes based on specific criteria. Follow the table format provided below. You may add columns and rows as you deem necessary.
BIOME
Criterion 1 (specify)
Criterion 2 (specify)
Criterion 3 (specify)
Criterion 4 (specify)
Consider the variety of biomes that are found as dominant community types, determine what major biome or biomes dominate areas. What do the local biomes tell you about the climate of your area? How do the local biomes limit the kinds of living things that you may see regularly in your area? Be prepared to discuss how the biomes of local areas influence the daily life, economy, and natural diversity of local areas.
Next, identify an invasive species in your biome. Define invasive species and discuss the problems associated with invasions. Using California state, find department of agriculture or fish and game department to find examples of exotic species (plant or animal) that have been introduced into your area that are having negative effects on the native plants and animals. Often these will be listed under the state fish and game department, or your state's agricultural extension service. Pick a specific invasive species that has invaded your area. Describe where it came from, how…
