The document describes four main terrestrial ecosystems: deciduous forests, coniferous forests, rainforests, and grasslands. Deciduous forests have four seasons and trees that lose their leaves in fall. Coniferous forests are colder and have needle-like leaves and trees that produce seeds in cones. Rainforests are very warm, rainy, and humid with rich plant and animal life. Grasslands have fertile soil covered in tall grasses and some shrubs with few trees, and are warm with some rainfall.
Tundra
The tundra biome is characterized by extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. It is separated into Arctic and alpine tundra. Arctic tundra occurs at high latitudes and has cold, desert-like conditions with permafrost and simple vegetation adapted to the harsh climate. Alpine tundra occurs at high elevations with little permafrost and drier, steeper areas. Both have simple plant structures and low diversity due to the severe environmental conditions.
Terrestrial Ecosysytem
This document describes several terrestrial ecosystems - forests, deciduous forests, coniferous forests, rainforests, and grasslands. Deciduous forests have four seasons and trees that lose their leaves in fall. Coniferous forests are colder and have needle-like leaves and trees that produce seeds in cones. Rainforests are very warm, rainy, and humid with rich plant and animal life. Grasslands have tall grasses and some shrubs with gentle hills and animals like prairie dogs and bison.
Chapt05 lecture
This document provides an outline of biomes and ecosystems around the world, including terrestrial biomes like rainforests, deserts, grasslands, and forests, as well as marine ecosystems from the open ocean to coastal areas. It also discusses freshwater ecosystems like lakes and wetlands, and notes several human impacts such as habitat loss, pollution, and climate change that are threatening biodiversity.
Ecosystems and biomes
This document provides information about different ecosystems and biomes. It defines an ecosystem as the interactions between living and nonliving things in a place, and a biome as a large region with similar climate and organisms. It then describes several major biomes in more detail, including tundra, temperate forest, tropical rainforest, desert, savanna, grassland, and chaparral. Each biome section provides examples of characteristic plants, animals, climates, and locations.

Biomes
The document discusses the main categories of ecosystems around the world. The broad categories are deserts, grasslands and tundra, forests, and mountains. Each ecosystem has distinct characteristics based on climate, vegetation, soil properties, and adaptations of plants and animals living there.
MAJOR BIOMES OF WORLD
1. Biomes are defined as large regions characterized by distinct plant and animal life. The document discusses several major biomes including forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic biomes.
2. Each biome has unique abiotic factors like climate and soil that have shaped the adaptations of the plants and animals living there. For example, desert plants have small leaves or none at all to reduce water loss, while aquatic biomes range from freshwater to marine environments.
3. Many biomes are threatened by human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity and restore degraded ecosystems.
