This document defines and describes different biomes, including terrestrial biomes like tundra, taiga, desert, grassland, temperate forest, and tropical rainforest as well as aquatic biomes like marine environments with photic and aphotic zones, estuaries, and freshwater biomes. It provides details on characteristic climate, plants, soils, and common animal species for each biome.
This presentation is all about the Terrestrial Biome..made for Environmental Science Students.This came from different authors which I browsed from the net..Hope this will help=)

Looks at the question of:
HOW MANY BIOMES?
There is no clear answer and the powerpoint goes through the possible answers.
It concludes to five basic biomes that include ‘sub-biomes’.

Temperature – limiting factor [autosaved] newSumer Pankaj
Temperature is the degree or the intensity of heatness or coldness of any object surroundings or organism and it plays a major role in development and growth of organisms in various ways like affect on metabolism, reproduction, sex ratio, morphology etc. Some organisms are adapted to extreme high temperatures and extreme low temperatures, which make them to sustain their life easily. There are many ways by which organisms can sustain themselves in these areas like occurrence of hibernation, activation, morphological and physiological changes etc. Though organisms have made their lives very much easier, temperature plays a major role in their growth and development.
+A wetland is a distinct ecosystem that is flooded by water, either permanently or seasonally, where oxygen-free processes prevail. The primary factor that distinguishes wetlands from other land forms or water bodies is the characteristic vegetation of aquatic plants, adapted to the unique hydric soil.
+Wetlands include a variety of habitats, which may be natural or man made area of water or marsh that can be lotic (standing water) and lentic (running water).
+Types of wetlands
a)Marine water
b)Fresh water
c)Man made
+Why Are Wetlands Important?
+Wetlands and Ecosystem Services
+Wetlands are threatened
+Wetland Protection
+Wetland Conservation Strategy
Points on biomes,habitat,ecotone and their differentations.
also on terrestrial ,wetland,fresh water,marine habitat and their types .Explained much with pictures..so easy to remember and to take class .Hope this may help....
Ecological Succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over a period of time.
But, over a long period of time, the climate conditions of an ecosystem is bound to change.
No ecosystem has existed or will remain unchanged over a Geological Time Scale.
its a presentation on the key aspects of Terrestrial Ecosystem. Its types, characters, soil horizon, soil microflora . Its curated specifically to help environmental microbiology students to ubderstand the key aspects of various Eco biomes . Hope it helps the students and faculties to grasp the knowledge and spread among people, the awareness to protect our precious Ecosystem .

Compare and contrast the climates and communities of two terrestrial.pdfarihantcomp1008
Compare and contrast the climates and communities of two terrestrial biomes. Include the
following in your comparison: a basic description of how their locations on the planet affect their
temperature and rainfall an explanation of how their climate causes different amounts and types
of life to flourish two specific examples of community interactions that occur in each
community.
Solution
Taiga is the largest terrestrial biome, it is also known as boreal forest. It spreads throughout the
Europe, North America and Asia. The climatic conditions include long and cold winter, and the
summers are short with rains. The length of the day is longer during the summers and shorter
during the winter seasons.
The conifers are the common plant species that grow in Tagia. Other plant species such as oak
and willow are distributed in the wet regions. The animal population include, seed eating
squirrels, moles (small mammals), deer, elk and moose (browsing animals). Also the predator
species like grizzly bears, wolverines and wolves are also present.
Desert biome:
•The average rain fall is 10 in. (25 cm) or less. Temperature ranges are typically extreme, which
contribute to the desert formation. Temperatures during night are very cold. Desert soils are arid
with no organic content. The plant and animal species are relatively less due to the water
scarcity. Most of the surviving species are draught and salt tolerant.
•The leaves and stems of desert plants are adapted to tolerate drought conditions. Plants are
typically widely spaced than those in humid climates.
•Desert animals had several adaptations to combat the water scarcity. Some of the animals such
as camels can store water and survive for several days without water and food. Many desert
animals are nocturnal. The low temperature during the night helps to avoid quick dehydration.
For example, some of the desert snakes. Some animals such as tortoise and mice spend most of
the time underground. Desert birds crisscross the skies most of their time in search of food.
Desert animals are more vulnerable to changes in the habitat and invasive predator species due to
their special adaptations..

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
