Biome Reflection

Find three recent news articles that specifically impact your biome and read them. Examples of this could be an industrial project, a nutrient spill, an endangered species designation, or some other impact. A link must be provided for each article, as well as a short summary. This must be done individually and posted here

Additionally, choose an article about Sandy from a neutral, a Democratic-leaning, and a Republican-learning website that talks about climate change, water quality or food web issues that will affect the biome (Hint:  figure out the biome).   Print these and highlight, please.  Then tell me the probably effect of the storm in 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year.


Suggestions for Sites

  • Huffington Post (D)
  • BBC.com
  • Fox News (R)
  • NBC News 
  • ABC News (D)
  • Washington Post
  • Real Clear Politics (R)

Finally, you will finish your comparison of three locations impacted by Sandy (NYC, Pennsylavania, and Appalachia, but then we need to go down a grain size. How will ONE of the biomes be affected on a level of
  • ecosystem
  • habitat
  • community
  • population
  • niche level
