6 08 collaborative project coral reef ecosystem
Coral reefs are underwater structures made of calcium carbonate secreted by coral polyps. They form diverse ecosystems and are home to 25% of marine species. However, coral reefs are fragile and face numerous threats such as climate change, pollution, and overfishing. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system, stretching over 1300 miles off Australia. It supports great biodiversity but also faces risks to its ecosystem. In coral reefs, predators sustain themselves by consuming other organisms classified as prey, maintaining a delicate balance.

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
Short season of growth and reproduction
Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material
Large population oscillations

Permanent ice biomes are characterized by harsh climates with little precipitation, strong winds, and sparse vegetation. The Arctic supports over 100 flowering plant species along with polar bears, seals, and Arctic foxes, while Antarctica has only 2 plant species and is home to penguins. Both regions experience long periods without sun in winter and temperatures often drop below freezing. Despite the cold, various organisms have adapted to survive, such as penguins retaining heat through tightly packed feathers. Climate change and human pollution threaten these fragile ecosystems by melting ice and introducing invasive species and contaminants into the food web.

The marine biome covers most of the earth and contains thousands of species of plants and animals. It has three vertical zones - the euphotic, dysphotic, and aphotic layers - with temperatures varying from cold on the bottom to warmest at the top. Weather and climate affect the habitat. Key locations include the Indian, Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific Oceans. Common plants include various algae and fan plants, while animals include fish, jellyfish, dolphins, whales, seals, and more. The food chain starts with phytoplankton and zooplankton feeding small fish and bigger fish that in turn feed mammals.
Tundra forest
The document provides information about the tundra biome. It describes the tundra as a vast, cold region characterized by treeless vegetation and permanently frozen subsoil. It exists in the northernmost regions of the world and at high elevations. Plants and animals in the tundra are adapted to harsh conditions like freezing temperatures, short growing seasons, and nutrient-poor soil. Examples are given of the specific locations and characteristics of the Arctic, Antarctic, and alpine tundra biomes.
DIFFERENT BIOMES HABITATES
This document defines and describes different types of biomes. It begins by defining a biome as a major community of plants and animals classified by predominant vegetation and adaptations to the environment. It then describes four main classifications of biomes: terrestrial, freshwater, marine, and anthropogenic. For each classification, it provides examples and characteristics of specific biomes within that classification, such as tundra, tropical forest, ocean, estuary, and agricultural biomes.
