Biome Tundra
Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation. Tundra is separated into two types: arctic tundra and alpine tundra.
Characteristics of Tundra
Extremely cold climate
Low biotic diversity
Simple vegetation structure
Limitation of drainage

The document discusses the key features of polar regions, tundra, and taiga biomes. It describes the polar regions as located around the North and South Poles, with freezing temperatures year-round. Tundra is found in the Arctic and has a short growing season with shrubs, mosses, and sedges. Taiga is the boreal forest found in northern regions, with coniferous trees and cold winters with snow. Common animals in these regions include polar bears, caribou, and birds that migrate seasonally.
Temperate Deciduous Forest
Temperate deciduous forests are located in eastern North America, western Europe, parts of Asia, and southern South America. These forests experience seasonal changes with cold winters and warm summers. Common tree species include oaks, hickories, maples, and beeches which lose their leaves in autumn to conserve water. The forest has three layers - a top canopy layer, middle shrub layer, and bottom forest floor layer of grasses and ferns. These forests provide habitat but are threatened by human development and agriculture.
Chaparral Power Point
The document summarizes key details about the Chaparral biome. It is located along the western coast of the US and parts of South America, Africa, and Australia.

Each biome is characterized by distinct plant and animal life that is adapted to the climate and resources available, such as forests being home to diverse communities and tundra having extremely low temperatures that only certain resilient plants can survive. Understanding the different biomes is important because human actions like overfishing, pollution, and deforestation threaten these ecological communities.
Biomes
This document summarizes the main biomes (regions) of the world, which include polar ice caps, tundra, forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic biomes. It provides details on the defining characteristics, climates, vegetation, and animals found in each biome type. Some of the specific biomes mentioned include boreal forests, taiga, temperate deciduous forests, prairies, steppes, savannas, rainforests, wetlands, estuaries, and oceans.
The Taiga Biome
The taiga biome has long, cold winters and short, cool summers with low precipitation. It is dominated by coniferous trees like spruce, fir, and pine that are adapted to the climate with needle-like leaves and thick bark. Common animal species include bears, wolves, lynx, and birds that have insulating fur or feathers. The taiga stores a large amount of carbon and covers a significant portion of the northern hemisphere.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

- 2. General description Geographic Location: Covers North America most of inland Canada and Alaska as well as parts of the extreme northern Continental United States Living in the taiga is cold and lonely. Coldness and food shortages make things very difficult
- 3. Abiotic Factors Temperature range in the summer gets as low as low as -7° degrees C (20° F) The high in summer can be 21° C (70°F) Mostly warm, Humid and Rainy. The soil type is thin, acidic and not very nutrient it is also really rocky.
- 4. Abiotic factors There aren’t many animal species, many insects during summer time. Birds migrate lo nest and feed Most of the precipitation in the taiga falls as rain in the summer. One thing unique about the taiga is that the main seasons are winter and summer, the spring and autumn are too short.
