A number of studies concerning the effect of management on biodiversity have been conducted in the tropical and temperate forest zones. This topic is less studied in the forest steppe biome, where the reestablishment of plants from the surrounding patches is more limited than in the forest biome...
What are some plants that live in a forest biome? What are some plants in a temperate forest biome? What plants are in a temperate grassland biome? What plants are important to animals in a grassland biome? What are some plants in the savanna biome?
The marine biome is the largest of all the ecosystems and includes not only shoreline and open ocean areas but also coral reefs and estuaries. Marine algae supply most of the world’s oxygen. Like in lakes and ponds, plant life in oceans varies by location. Where ocean meets land, waves ...
Therainforestis a specific type of biome that has some of the highest species richness and diversity out of any biome in the world. While they only amount for 6 percent of the entire Earth's surface, they also account for more than half of all of the species of plants and animals that...
What factors influence whether a lineage can successfully transition into a new biome, and why have some biome shifts been more frequent than others? To orient this line of research we develop a conceptual framework in which the likelihood of a biome shift is a function of (a) exposure to ...
Why do plants produce thousands of spores? How is the root system useful for plants? How do plants cause weathering? How do plants adapt in the forest biome? How is botany evidence collected? Explore our homework questions and answers library Search Browse Browse by subject...
Taiga is the Russian word for marshy pine forest, while boreal has its origins in the word for the Greek god of the north wind. The taiga biome is cold, has little precipitation and has a short growing season. The forest is the world’s largest land biome, spanning eight countries includ...
If one selects a census area that includes the full spectrum of elevations (e.g., a cross section through a whole mountain range), it may encompass almost all life zones on Earth from humid tropical forest at the bottom to glacier forefields at the top. High mountains, those in tropical...
The vegetation of floodplains is compared in central Europe and northern- and central Japan focusing on the questions: - which alien plants have successfully naturalised and where is their native country, - which vegetation types are preferred by invasive plants, - what are the reasons for the ...
How does deforestation affect the water cycle? How does the water cycle help the environment? How do plants survive in the Amazon rainforest? How does water cycle through an ecosystem? How do plants adapt in the tropical rainforest biome? How does water cycle through plants? How does t...
