Biomes in Depth

Watch the video found here

OR

look at the site found here

OR

check out the information found on biomes in the previous post.

Compare a biome found in the continental US to a biome NOT found in the continental US. Make a poster or t-chart that lists similarities and differences in terms of temperature extremes (how hot and how cold), precipitation amounts, types of precipitation, and winds.

For each biome, find a relevant ecosystem and draw a food web with at least 12 pieces. You must include all components of an energy pyramid .

Based on this idea, what biome is richer in biodiversity? Why do you believe so? Can you suggest a calculation that estimates your point-of-view?
