BIOMES can help you figure out the climate of a place
Place near the equator, direct sunlight that’s why its tropical country (high temp and highy
humidity (napapaligiran ng tubig, that’s why its humid) and also abundant rainfall bc of
precipitation
Middle East (Hot and Dry) located in the Equator (dito tumatama ang direct heat)
Magakaiba ang biomes sa territorial and quaatic
Terrestial (drylands)
Aquatic Biomes on aquatic places
Terrestrial Biomes (land ecosystem)
1. Desert
- Hot and Dry
- Cactus/cacti- survive the heat bc they have the ability to store water in their body for a long
time
- (snakes, lizards), insects, scorpion, and rodents.
- Camel can store water in their humps
2. Grass land
- Canary grass (talahib) – size up
- Windy
- They grow rapidly and the amount of grass depends on the moisture within the atmosphere.
- Have been converted into agriculture bc of the amount of moisture
- Russia, South and North America
- The world’s grassland includes the
- Savanna of South Africa, Steppes of Russia, Pampas of South America, and Prairies of
- North America.
3. Savanna
- Both hot
- Predominant grasses
- South America and Africa
- Present ang drought
4. Forest biomes / Tro
-20-25 degree elsius and maraming rainfalls
- trees and woody plants
Warm tempo and abundant rqainfalls, mabiklis tumubo anmg mga hjaalaman
-South America, africva and PH
5. Temperate Deciduous Forest.
- varying amount of rainfalls
Winter to summer change
- Canada, Europe and Some part of Asia
- Common plant: oak, maple tree, ferns and animals: foxes, bobcat, deer and squirrel
6. Taiga (Boreal) Biome
- largest terrestrial biomes
- Canada and Russia
- Tyga-
Short summer and long winter
- Plant: Pine Trees
7. TUNDRA
- 10 mos of winter and 2 mos of summer
- mountain peak
- permanently frozen ground (perma frost)
- Umuulan ng sniow and windy
- Animals: reinderr, wolves, artic bears, foxes and cows
- Extremely low temp, inadequate nutrients and high winds
- Plants: mga shrubs sa rocks
8. Chaparal
- shoreliner ng beaches, near the oceans
AQUATIC BIOMES
Classfiied by 4 factors
1. Sunrays can penetrate the water
2. Nature of bottom surface (may organism)
3. Water temperature
4. Amount of dissolved materials *oxygen
Aquatic Biomes
Freshwater- has a standard value
Marine – both has salt content but different salt content value/ mas maalat ang marine
MARINE ECOSYSTEM (OCEAN)
1. Inter tidal zone
Pertains to tide
When the ocean meets the lands
Where low and high tide occurs
2. PELAGIC ZONE
OPEN WATER
Kasama mga fish
Organism: Isda
Phytoplankton main procedures
Phytoplankton (algae) – zooplankton (grasshopper) / Primary Consumer
Has layers
Photic zone- aabot ng sunlight
Aphotic Zone – cant be reached by sunlight
3. BENTHIC ZONE
* SOIL SA ILALIM
> SOIL UNDER
- PINAKAMATAAS NA NUTRIENTS LEVEL BC OF THE DEAD BODIES
- DECOMPOSERS DECOMPOSES DEAD BODIES WHILE IT UNDERGOPES DURING dm YUN ANG SUMASA
SA SOIL
- Detrivores- tumutulong sa decomposition process
- Organisms: bottom dwellers, marine worms, starfishs and bacteria and corals
4. Abyssal zone
> deepest part of the ocean
> lowest temp
> very low temperature, very high pressure, high oxygen content, and low nutrient content (di
napepentrate mga sunlight).
> Chemoautotrophs (kumakain ng checmical at bacteria( and are the main producers) are present here
bc they do not sunrays to produce food and depends on hydrothermal vents
> Hydrothermal vents- natural vent system – bringing heat from the crust of the earth
CORAL REEFS
Maraming coral reefs = coral reefs ecosystem
ESTUARIES
Pathway ng marine water and fresh water
Connection between the two and meets
Freshwater Biome
Much less salt contecnt compared to marine
Mas mabilis magchange ng temp
Largest : Dams
Oxygen are in short supply / mabnilis matabuinan ng algae
Marine water fishes: Salmon, tuna or yung mga mahal
Freshwater yung mga mura
STANDING
Di nagflo-flow
Lakes and ponds
Zones:
1. Littoral zone
Has emerged plants, floating plants and submerged plants and all are connected to benthics
zone
Emerged plants=- kita pa young leaves
Floating plants- nakadikit sa tubig yung leaves
Submerged plants: Buong plant is submerged in water
Littoral zone ay kung saan lang naka connect sa benthic zone
2. Euphotic zone
Hindi Nakakapenetrate ng sunrays
3. Limnetic zone
Wala ng halaman- di umaabot sa benthic zone yung sunrays
Meron rin dito na phytoplankton
According to temp
1. Epilinion -hot
2. Thermocline - warm
3. Hypolimnion- cold
RUNNING
Nagfloflow yung tubig
Continuous yung flow
Usually cold water
Konti yung nutrient level dito
Hindi nagsteasteady yung init ng araw
Kaya hindi rin nakakapagstay ng energy from the sun
Hindi enough oras na steady yunmg oras ng araw sa kanila
Source of water: cold and water
Walang pnahion ang algae para magstay sa water kaya malinaw
Organism: (primary Producaers) – hindi naman nahahabol yung phytoplankton kaya ang primary
perrypython (mga nkaaattach na green aka lumot)
WETLANDS
1. Marshes
– periodically submerged in water
- Plants rooted in soil pero extended to water surface
- Land ecosystem na nakapaligid ang water ecosystem
-
