MAJOR TYPES OF ECOSYSTEMS
1. TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS
2. AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS
Terrestrial ecosystems
A terrestrial ecosystem is an ecosystem found only on landforms.
Six primary terrestrial ecosystems exist:
tundra,
taiga,
temperate deciduous forest,
tropical rain forest,
grassland; and
desert.
Ecology is the scientific study of organisms `at home' which is called as the `environment'. The term `environment' refers to those parts of the world or the total set of circumstances which surround an organism or a group of organisms.
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’.
You need to download PowerPoint in order to view animations.
There is a WORKSHEET that accompanies this POWERPOINT at:

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Terrestrial Biomes
1. JOEMAR J. CABRADILLA
Ph.D Science Education Student
Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University
2. Biomes are the major regional
groupings of plants and animals discernible
at a global scale.
To understand the nature of biomes one
needs to learn
The types of animals (especially vertebrates)
characteristic of the biome
Their typical morphological, physiological,
and/or behavioral adaptations to the
environment
3. Global distribution pattern
1. Where each biome is found and
how each varies geographically
2. A given biome may be composed of
different taxa on different
continents
The dominant, characteristic, and
unique growth forms
1. vertical stratification
2. leaf shape, size, and habit
3. special adaptations of the
vegetation
4.
5.
6. occupy approximately one-third
of Earth’s land area
account for over two-thirds of
the leaf area of land plants
contain about 70% of carbon
present in living things
are major casualties of
deforestation, pollution, and
industrial usage
forest biomes are classified
according to numerous
characteristics, with seasonality
being the most widely used
7. Location: Found near
equator…little variation in
temperatures. No distinct
seasonal changes.
Earth's most complex
land biome
8. TROPICAL RAIN
FOREST
Abiotic factors
high biodiversity and
biomass
both hot and moist;
ideal for bacteria and other
microorganisms; they
quickly decompose matter
on the forest floor allowing
nutrients to be recycled.
<1 cm of topsoil
About 100 in/yr of rainfall
9. TROPICAL RAIN
FOREST
Plant Adaptations
Sunlight is a major
limiting factor
Plants grow in layers
(canopy receives most
light)
Shallow, wide roots
since soil is so thin and
poor in nutrients
Little sun reaches the
floor
10. Wagler’s Pit Viper
TROPICAL RAIN
FOREST
Animal
Adaptations
Many animals are
specialists and require
special habitat
components to survive.
Camouflage is common
Many symbiotic
relationships
Live in different
levels of canopy
Slender Loris
Silvery Gibbon
11. Humans strip the rainforests for
uses including logging and cattle
ranching.
Clearing for agriculture, timber
and urban development
Conversion of diverse forest to
tree plantations.
Damage from off-roads vehicles.
Pollution of forest streams
Timber and mineral extraction
Transparent
Butterfly
Toucan
Red-eyed frog
Tanager
White Faced
Monkey
Tropical King
Snake
12. A. Prevention
Protect the most diverse and endangered
areas.
Educate settlers about sustainable
agriculture and forestry.
Subsidize only sustainable forest use
Certify sustainable grown timber
Reduce Poverty
Slow population growth
B. Restoration
Encourage regrowth through
secondary succession
Rehabilitate degraded areas
Concentrate farming and ranching
in already cleared areas
13. Location:
found in temperate
zone (about 480 North
latitude)
Much of the human
population lives in this
biome
TEMPERATE
DECIDUOUS FOREST
Abiotic factors
Well-defined seasons with a
distinct winter characterize this
forest biome
Moderate climate and a growing
season of 140-200 days during 4-6
frost-free months distinguish
temperate forests
Temperature varies from -30° C to
30° C.
14. Plant Adaptations
Canopy
Oak Willow
Moderately dense
Allows light to penetrate
Resulting in well-developed and
richly diversified understory
vegetation and stratification of
animals
Flora is characterized by 3-4 tree
species per square kilometer
Trees are distinguished by broad
leaves that are lost annually
Beech
Mapple
15. Animal Adaptations
Animals living within this
biome must adjust to cold winters
and hot summers by hibernating,
migrating, or keeping active all
winter.
Least Weasel
Raccoon White-tailed Deer
16. Many forests are
cleared to provide
housing for humans.
Careful use of the
resource can provide a
renewable system if we
don’t take too much
habitat away.
Larch Needles
Oak
Hemlock
Maple
18. Abiotic Factors
Winters are long and
cold
Averages 100 in/yr
precipitation—
mostly snow
Soil poor in
nutrients and very
acidic
Growing season is
very short
19. Plant Adaptations
Coniferous (needle-bearing)
trees are
abundant
Roots long to anchor
trees
Needles long, thin and
waxy
Low sunlight and poor
soil keeps plants from
growing on forest floor
Fire Weed
Balsam Fir
Black Spruce
Dauglas Fir
20. Mining
operations can
irreparably
damage this
fragile
ecosystem.
Pollution left
behind can also
put animals and
plants at risk.
Moose
Great Grey Owl
Hemlock
Lynx
21. Characterized as lands
dominated by grasses rather
than large shrubs or trees.
Largest land animals are
present due to huge vegetation.
Grasslands are big open spaces.
There are not many bushes in
the grassland. Trees are found
only by rivers and streams.
Wheat Grass Coneflower Kangaroo Paws Tumble Weed
22. Always found in warm or hot
climates where the annual rainfall is
from about 50.8 to 127 cm (20-50
inches) per year
Characterized by a continuous
cover of perennial grasses, often 3 to 6
feet tall at maturity
Many plants have thorns
and sharp leaves to protect
against predation.
Reproduce during rainy
season—ensures more young survive
Whistling Thorn
Chacma Baboon
23. Invasive species
Changes in fire
management
Elephant
Because of their low
elevation, some
savannas are threatened
by minor rises in sea
level associated with
global climate change
Koala Bear
24. Summer temperatures can
be well over 38° C (100
degrees Fahrenheit.
Winter temperatures can
be as low as -40° C (-40
degrees Fahrenheit).
Deep and dark,
with fertile upper
layers
Seasonal drought,
occasional fires,
and grazing by
large mammals all
prevent woody
shrubs and trees
from invading and
becoming
established
Asters
Clovers
Sunflowera
25. Overgrazing…nomadic tribes
have started to spend more time
in one location,
Infrastructure development
(roads, buildings, etc)
Unmanaged hunting and
poaching is destroying herds of
animals
Lynx
Corsac Fox
Praire Dogs
bobcat Wild Goat
King Protea
26. Coldest of all the biomes
Comes from the Finnish
word tunturia, meaning
treeless plain
Frost-molded landscapes
Extremely low
temperatures
Little precipitation
Poor nutrients
Average winter temperature
is -34° C (-30° F)
Average summer
temperature is 3-12° C (37-54°
F) which enables this biome
to sustain life.
yearly precipitation,
including melting snow, is 15
to 25 cm (6 to 10 inches)
27. Large, compact bodies
A thick insulating cover of feathers
or fur
Pelage and plumage that turns white
in winter, brown in summer
Ability to accumulate thick deposits
of fat during the short growing
season

size.
Arctic Fox
Polar Bear
Snowy Owl
Caribou
Yellow Tundra

28. Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earth’s surface
and occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year.
Most deserts occur at low latitudes
Most deserts have a considerable amount of
specialized vegetation, as well as specialized
vertebrate and invertebrate animals.
29. Abiotic Factors
Less than 10 in./year of rain
Little to no topsoil due to
high winds.
Minerals not deep in soil.
Too dry for decay
While there are many types
of deserts, they all share one
characteristic: They are the
driest places on Earth!
