There are many categories of biomes worldwide. Notable biomes include tundra in Alaska and Russia, tropical rainforests in Brazil and Peru, and broadleaf forests in England and America. Biomes are distributed around the world in patterns based on latitude and distance from the equator. Boreal fore...

The complex native status of domesticated or useful Mediterranean trees Since the Neolithic, human pressures on Mediterranean ecosystems, especially on the forests, have been intense and the profound transformations of natural into cultural landscapes are the result of millennia of human activities (Thir...
The ground of the Arctic tundra has forever solidified subsoil, called permafrost, which makes it hard for trees to develop. Many fossils have been found in the permafrost that is located in these biomes. The tundra has winter and summer as the main seasons. Springs are short and fall betwe...
soil, we need to consider not how to slow decomposition, but rather how to divert more litter into humus through microbial and chemical reactions rather than allowing it to decompose. The optimal strategy is to have litter transformed into humic substances and then chemically or physically ...
Because the temperatures are so cold, only the top layer of soil in this terrestrial environment thaws during the summer; the rest of it remains frozen year round, a condition known as permafrost. Plants in the tundra are primarily lichens, shrubs, and brush. Tundras do not have trees. Mos...
