The taiga biome is located in northern regions like Russia, Alaska, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It has cold winters around -6 degrees Celsius and low precipitation. The soil is nutrient-poor with permafrost and shallow bogs. Common animals include moose, Siberian tigers, lynx, wolves and bears. Dominant plant life consists of black spruce, jack pine and white fir. Logging and hunting threaten taiga species, but conservation groups work to mitigate these impacts and support sustainable practices.
Temperate deciduous forest PERIOD 3
The document describes the temperate deciduous forest biome. Key points include:
- Locations include eastern North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.
- Trees are deciduous and lose their leaves seasonally. Diversity of plants and animals depends on leaf loss.
- Humans have heavily impacted these forests through deforestation for agriculture, grazing, and lumber. While some areas faced little conservation historically, protected areas now exist in Russia, the US, and other regions.
Monsoon forest PERIOD 5
Monsoon Rainforest is a type of seasonal tropical forest that experiences a long dry season followed by a wet season with heavy rainfall. Key points:
- Located between 10-25 degrees latitude, areas include India, Sri Lanka, Africa, South America.
- Hot and humid all year with high rainfall during wet season that can exceed 2000mm. Soil is poor and leached of nutrients.
- Supports diverse wildlife like birds, deer, elephants, snakes. Tall trees produce large amounts of oxygen through photosynthesis.
- Heavily impacted by human activities like deforestation, pollution, and climate change which disrupt rainfall patterns. Proper precautions needed during monsoon seasons.
Temperate deciduous forest PERIOD 4
Temperate deciduous forests are typically located in mid-latitude areas between 25ยฐ and 50ยฐ in both hemispheres, characterized by distinct seasons. They contain a variety of plant and animal species adapted to seasonal changes and have highly productive ecosystems. However, human activities like logging, invasive species, and overgrazing have significantly reduced forest coverage in some areas. Conservation efforts in places like the U.S. and Haiti aim to restore and protect these forests through reforestation programs and sustainable management practices.
Taiga biome period 3
The taiga biome, also known as boreal forest or snow forest, is located in northern high latitudes between tundras and temperate forests. Soils are nutrient-poor due to cold temperatures that slow decomposition. Characteristic plants include coniferous trees like spruce and pine, along with ferns and berries. Though conditions are harsh, the taiga supports a diversity of animal life including brown bears, wood bison, Canadian lynx, and Siberian tigers. Nutrients cycle slowly through the food web from trees to primary consumers like deer, then to secondary consumers and top predators. Human impacts include logging, fur trapping, oil extraction, and climate change, which threaten biodiversity and the future
High latitude tundra PERIOD 4
The high latitude tundra biome is located in northern regions such as Greenland, Alaska, Canada, and Russia. It has a very cold climate with average yearly temperatures around 16 degrees F and precipitation of 6-10 inches per year. Plants and animals in the tundra biome are adapted to these harsh conditions, with dwarf shrubs, small flowers, polar bears, caribou, and Arctic foxes commonly found. The tundra has a low level of primary productivity due to the short growing seasons and nutrient-poor soil. It is threatened by global warming causing permafrost melting and by human pollution from oil drilling and development. Protections for the Arctic Refuge and national parks in Sweden and the US
Deciduous forest PERIOD 5
Temperate deciduous forests are located in areas with moderate rainfall and temperatures around 50 degrees Fahrenheit, including parts of North America, Europe, Russia, China, and Japan. These forests have high biodiversity and various tree species that lose their leaves seasonally. Humans have significantly impacted deciduous forests through deforestation, agriculture, and urbanization, reducing forest coverage to about a third of its original extent. While more developed countries have enacted protections, less developed countries still lack resources to curb deforestation.
Cameron B. Welch - Taiga presentation
The taiga biome, also known as the boreal forest, is characterized by long, bitterly cold winters and short, cool summers. It forms a continuous belt of coniferous forests across northern regions of Europe and Asia and North America. Key abiotic factors include low temperatures, heavy snowfall, and soil that is frozen for months each winter. The water and nitrogen cycles play important roles in supporting the ecosystem by circulating water and transforming nitrogen into usable forms for plants. An earthquake could severely impact the taiga by destroying plant and animal habitats, causing avalanches, and disrupting the ecosystem until gradual regeneration occurs through decomposition, scavenging, and reseeding over time.

However, threats from clearcutting and overhunting have negatively impacted
The boreal forest
The boreal forest biome is located across northern North America, Europe and Asia. It lies between the tundra to the north and deciduous forests to the south. Temperatures range from 5 to -5 degrees Celsius and precipitation is moderate, between 20 and 75 cm per year annually. The dominant plants are coniferous trees like pine and fir, along with mosses and lichens. Common animal species include bobcats, brown bears, over 85 mammal species, 130 fish species and 32,000 insect species. Threats to the boreal forest include resource extraction and development, as well as invasive plant species moving north with climate change.
Grassland Ecosystem
Grassland Ecosystem- As the name implies, grasslands are open spaces in which a variety of grasses grow, with only a few trees scattered near rivers and streams. The amount of annual rainfall influences the type of vegetation โ not enough to support a forest but enough to prevent it from becoming a desert. Grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica.
Grasslands are known in different regions of the world by different names โ prairies, pampas, steppes, and savannah among others. They are divided into two types โ Tropical and Temperate.
Rainforests Lesson 1&2
The document provides information about the characteristics and structure of tropical rainforests, including high temperatures, rainfall, and vegetation adaptations. It notes that rainforests have tall trees with canopies and few lower branches, allowing them to efficiently collect sunlight. The floor contains ferns and the soil is deep and prone to leaching. Deforestation of rainforests like the Amazon is removing an important source of the world's oxygen and contributing to climate change.
Forest Ecosystem
A forest ecosystem is defined as an interacting system formed by the biotic and abiotic factors in a forest region. The key components are plants and animals that depend on geographical features like climate, soil and terrain. There are several types of forests classified by leaf type and rainfall patterns - coniferous forests are found in cooler areas and have needle-like leaves, deciduous forests shed leaves seasonally, and evergreen forests retain leaves year-round. Forest ecosystems provide resources to humans but are threatened by deforestation, overexploitation, and habitat loss, so conservation efforts like protected areas and sustainable use are important to maintain balance.
What Are Biomes
The document divides the biosphere into six major biomes: tundra, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, grasslands, and desert. Each biome has a distinct climate defined by factors like temperature and rainfall that influence the soil and types of plants and animals that can survive there. The biomes range from the bitterly cold tundra to the very warm and moist tropical rainforest.
Tropical savanna period 3
The document describes tropical savannas, including their location between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, climate with wet and dry seasons, and common plants like elephant grass and animals like zebras.

Human impacts like agricultural expansion and logging have degraded savannas, but conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity and soil quality.
Environmental studies 1
There are five main types of ecosystems: forest, grassland, desert, aquatic, and estuarine. Forest ecosystems can be categorized as tropical rainforests, tropical deciduous forests, temperate rainforests, etc. depending on climate. They contain a variety of plant and animal species in complex communities. Grasslands receive enough rainfall for grasses but not trees and are used for grazing livestock. Deserts receive very little rainfall and have adaptations like wax coatings and long roots to reduce water loss.
5th Period Coniferous Forest
The taiga biome has harsh winters that last up to six months with sub-freezing temperatures and moderate precipitation. Plant life is limited mostly to lichens, mosses, and evergreen coniferous trees that grow closely together for protection. Animals have adapted to the cold through migration, hibernation, or other means to cope with food scarcity. Global warming threatens the taiga biome by potentially shifting climatic zones hundreds of kilometers north and reducing the biome's coverage by 50-90% over the next 50 years.
types of forest
The document summarizes the different types of forests found around the world. It discusses 6 main types: 1) equatorial moist evergreen or rainforest, 2) tropical deciduous forest, 3) Mediterranean forests, 4) temperate broad-leaved deciduous and mixed forest, 5) warm temperate broad-leaved deciduous forest, and 6) coniferous forest. Each forest type is characterized by its location, climate, vegetation, and wildlife.

The document provides information about the tundra biome. It states that tundra is the coldest biome and is located in northern regions like Scandinavia, Siberia, Alaska, and Canada. It has very short growing seasons of around 50-60 days, permafrost, and receives only 6-10 inches of precipitation per year mostly as snow. Vegetation is sparse, consisting of shrubs, sedges, mosses, lichens, grasses, and some dwarf trees. The biome supports animal life and has two types: arctic and alpine tundra.
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.

The amazon rainforest PERIOD 4
Tropical rainforests are located in warm, equatorial regions like South America, receiving high average rainfall of 108 inches per year. They have immense biodiversity, being home to over 427 mammal, 1,300 bird, and 400 amphibian species. The document describes some animal species found in rainforests like anacondas, glass frogs, macaws, sloths, and jaguars. It also discusses plant species like corpse flowers, strangler figs, and Amazon water lilies. Food webs and pyramids in rainforests are explained, showing energy transfer between primary producers, primary consumers, and apex predators. Photosynthesis occurs most actively in the canopy layer. Deforestation is an issue
Terrestrial Biomes
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=)
The Taiga Biome For educational and personal uses
The taiga biome is a subarctic forest located just south of the Arctic Circle between the tundra and temperate forests. It has cold climates with average temperatures between -5 to 5 degrees Celsius. The dominant plants are coniferous trees like spruce, fir, pine and larch. Many animals live in the taiga like birds, moose, bears and lynx, and have adapted thick coats to survive the cold winters. The taiga is threatened by deforestation and acid rain caused by human activities.
World-Biomes
The document provides information about the Antarctic biome. It states that less than 5% of Antarctica is ice-free. It then lists some of the animal species that live in Antarctica, including seals, penguins, whales, and birds. The document discusses environmental threats to Antarctic wildlife from activities like fishing, pollution, exploitation, tourism, and mining. It notes that some species have been driven to near extinction for economic reasons and others have been accidentally killed or disturbed by human presence.

Solution
Land Biomes
These are the 8 different land biomes in order from coldest to warmest
Tundra
Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, 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. It is also the driest biome next to
the desert.
Characteristics of tundra include:
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
Coniferous Forest (also known as Taiga)
The Coniferous Forest is a forest of Conifers (too much to handle, isn\'t it?). A Conifer is a tree
that produces its seeds in cones. The Pine tree is the most common example. Conifer leaves
conserve water with the thick, waxy layer that covers their leaves, also known as needles. The
vegitation in the Coniferous forest is small in size, but large enough to feed the vast herbivore
population. Most of these animals survive the brutal winters by migrating or hibernating.
Average Annual Rainfall- 14-29.5 in.
Average Temperatures in the Summer- 57.2ยฐF
Average Temperatures in the Winter- 14ยฐF
Deciduous Forest (also known as temperate forest)
Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe.
There are many deciduous forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest
Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of deciduous forests in
southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are deciduous forests located in New
Zealand, and southeastern Australia also.

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.
Temperate Forest Biome
A temperate forest biome is typically found in parts of eastern North America, southeast Canada, Europe, Japan, China, and Australia. These forests contain a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees as well as plants and support many animal species like squirrels, deer, bears, and mice. The climate is characterized by cold to moderate winters, warm summers, and year-round precipitation. Common plant types include broadleaf trees, conifers, shrubs, herbs, mosses, and ferns. Examples of animals include deer, black bears, bobcats, squirrels, mice, snakes, and raccoons. Food webs in this biome transfer energy from plants to various animal species.
Envisci 9.pptx
This document describes the major terrestrial biomes found around the world, including tropical rainforests, temperate deciduous forests, taiga, grasslands, savannas, tundra, and deserts. For each biome, it discusses location, abiotic factors, characteristic plant and animal adaptations, threats, and examples of species found within that biome. The biomes are grouped according to dominant vegetation, precipitation levels, and temperature ranges that create distinct environmental conditions for the plants and animals living in each one.

Biomas
There are 8 major biomes on Earth: freshwater, marine, forests, deserts, grasslands, tundra, taiga, and Mediterranean. 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.

Sulfur cycle PERIOD 4
The sulfur cycle describes the movement of sulfur through the environment. Sulfur is abundant in the Earth's crust and is essential for proteins and vitamins in organisms. It cycles between the atmosphere, terrestrial environments, and freshwater reservoirs. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and industrial pollution are releasing excess sulfur into the air, causing problems like acid rain which damages ecosystems. Reducing the use of fossil fuels would help limit acid rain and its negative impacts on the environment.
carbon cycle PERIOD 4
The document summarizes the carbon cycle in 3 parts:
1) The natural pathway which involves photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and weathering of rocks cycling carbon between the atmosphere, living things, and soil.
2) The national reservoir of carbon stored in sedimentary rocks in the Earth's crust, oceans, and atmosphere.
3) How the carbon cycle is affected by human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and different levels of industrialization in less developed and more developed countries.
Hydrolic Cycle PERIOD 4
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Tropical desert PERIOD 4
Tropical deserts are very dry areas located between 5-30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They include the Sahara Desert and Great Basin Desert. Tropical deserts receive little to no rainfall some years and have sandy or rocky soil. Plants include cacti, cholla, and brittlebush, and animals include kangaroo rats, coyotes, and camels that have adapted to the harsh, dry conditions. Human inhabitation of tropical deserts is increasing pollution and damaging the environment unless laws are enacted to protect it, as seen by the differences between how the Mojave Desert and Atacama Desert are handled.
Carbon cycle PERIOD 4
The carbon cycle describes the natural pathways and reservoirs of carbon on Earth. Carbon cycles between the atmosphere, ocean, soil, plants and animals through respiration, photosynthesis, decomposition, and other processes. Humans impact the carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and through deforestation which removes carbon-absorbing trees. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activities is altering Earth's climate. Potential solutions include expanding renewable energy, limiting carbon emissions, reducing deforestation, and promoting clean energy technologies.
Sulfur cycle PERIOD 5
The document discusses the sulfur cycle, including its natural processes and reservoirs. It notes that the largest reservoirs of sulfur are the Earth's crust and oceans. It also describes how humans have significantly impacted the global sulfur cycle through the burning of fossil fuels, which increases the amount of sulfur in the atmosphere and oceans. This leads to issues like acid rain. Humans also release sulfates through activities like coal mining and burning coal without scrubbers.
Nitrogen cycle PERIOD 5
The nitrogen cycle describes the movement of nitrogen through the environment. It involves nitrogen fixation by bacteria, ammonification by decomposers, nitrification by soil bacteria, and denitrification by bacteria in waterlogged soils that converts nitrogen back to its gaseous form. Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, use of nitrogen fertilizers, and livestock ranching have significantly increased the global nitrogen cycle, causing issues like smog, acid rain, eutrophication, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. While some seek solutions, many nations prioritize food production over environmental impacts.
Tropical savannah PERIOD 5
Tropical savannas have a wet/dry climate with distinct seasons where it is very dry during the winter months and then has rainy months during the summer. Vegetation includes grasses, shrubs and scattered trees that have adapted to seasonal changes with some shedding leaves during the dry season. Large grazing animals and grass fires are characteristic of many tropical savanna ecosystems.
Temperate desert PERIOD 5
The temperate desert biome has low and unpredictable rainfall, with strong temperature contrasts between summer and winter. Most precipitation falls in the winter when temperatures are below freezing, and summers are hot and dry. Common plants include cacti, shrubs and grasses adapted to store water. Animals such as snakes, lizards and small mammals obtain water from their food or specialized physiological functions. Human impacts such as off-road vehicles, water depletion and military exercises can damage desert soils and plants, but conservation efforts include restricting vehicle use to trails and improving land and water management.
Water cycle PERIOD 5
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of climate change on coffee production. Researchers found that suitable land for coffee production could decline by up to 50% by 2050 due to rising temperatures and changing rain patterns associated with climate change. The study highlights the need to develop new varieties of coffee that can thrive in warmer conditions to help the multi-billion dollar coffee industry adapt to climate change impacts.
Water cycle PERIOD 4
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It is powered by the sun and includes processes such as evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, and runoff. Water is stored in natural reservoirs including ice/snow, lakes, aquifers, and oceans. The water cycle is essential for life but is impacted by human activities like overpumping aquifers, water pollution, and increased surface runoff. More developed countries have advanced water filtration systems but also high industrial pollution, while less developed countries have less sanitation but lower overall pollution levels.
Nitrogen cycle PERIOD 4
The nitrogen cycle describes the natural processes by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms and circulates between living organisms and the environment. Key processes include nitrogen fixation by bacteria, nitrification, ammonification, and denitrification. Humans impact the nitrogen cycle through activities like fossil fuel combustion and the widespread use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, which can introduce excess nitrogen into ecosystems and cause problems like eutrophication. More developed countries tend to introduce more nitrogen through industry and transportation, while less developed countries' impacts come more from agriculture and large populations.
Chaparral biome PERIOD 3
The chaparral biome is located along the western coast of the United States, southern South America, southwestern Australia, Spain, and parts of Africa. It consists of tangled shrubs and thorny bushes adapted to hot, dry summers and mild winters with nutrient-poor soils. Common plants include coyotes, jackrabbits, mule deer, and various lizards and toads. Periodic wildfires are an important part of maintaining the chaparral ecosystem.
The sulfur cycle PERIOD 3
The sulfur cycle describes the natural process by which sulfur is circulated between its different reservoirs on Earth. Most sulfur is stored underground in rocks and sediments, and is released into the atmosphere through volcanic activity and decomposition. It is absorbed by plants and enters the oceans. Certain algae produce dimethyl sulfide gas which forms sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Bacteria convert sulfur compounds in wet environments. Human activity such as burning fossil fuels greatly increases the rate of sulfur release into the atmosphere, interrupting the natural cycle and causing environmental damage through acid rain.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Tiaga PERIOD 4
- 1. S TAIGA BIOME By: Ethan Pierce & Alvaro Bernuy
- 2. Location S The biome taiga is found in the latitude lines of 60ยฐ to 75ยฐ latitude which is most of Canada and the northern part of Europe and Asia. The taiga is also called the coniferous forest or boreal forest.
- 3. Climate S The taiga 6 months out of the year is below freezing with the lowest temperature being -65ยฐ. In the summer in this biome is warm humid and rainy.
- 5. Biodiversity S Some animals that live in the taiga are wolverines, bobcats, lynx, snowshoe rabbits, elk, moose.
- 6. Niches S Lynx- Eats small to medium animals and ground dwelling birds. S Snowshoe Rabbit- Eats plants, prey for bobcats and lynx and other predators S Elk- Eats plants, prey for bobcats and lynx and other predators S Moose- Eats aquatic and terrestrial plants
- 7. Plants S There are 3 types of trees that live in this biome: fir, spruce, and pine. One there types of trees live here because each tree releases a toxin that poisons the soil so different types of trees can not grow here.
- 8. Food Chain & Web
- 9. GPP & NPP S The gross primary productivity and the net primary productivity in this biome is low because it is so cold for most of the year.
- 10. Succession S The main way in which succession occurs this biome is through forest fires which is a secondary type of succession and it happens in order to get rid of areas with old and sick trees. There are actually some trees in the Taiga biome that will only release seeds when there is a forest fire called the Jack Pine
- 11. Human Impact S MDC- Russia and Canada Cutting down trees for lumber and mining endanger the environment S LDC- A small Portion of Mongolia, which is located between China and Russia, contains a taiga forest. The taiga forest is located on the northern side of Mongolia and you can find moss and lichen in many of the trees. They also cut down trees.
