Tropical rainforests are located near the equator between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn where it is warm year-round. They receive heavy rainfall annually between 60 to 160 inches, maintaining high humidity between 77-88%. The forests have three canopy layers and the dense vegetation blocks most sunlight from reaching the ground. Some of the largest tropical rainforests are found in the Amazon basin, Congo basin, and islands of Southeast Asia.

Soil is important as it provides nutrients for plant growth, acts as a habitat for many organisms, and stores water for plants. Soil quality depends on factors like its nutrient content, texture, and ability to retain water. Threats to soil include erosion from overgrazing, poor farming practices, and damage from human activities, which can lead to soil degradation and loss of fertile land. Conservation methods aim to protect soil quality and prevent erosion, such as contour plowing, terracing, no-till farming, crop rotation, use of windbreaks, and controlling water runoff. The type of soil that forms is influenced by properties of the parent rock material and climatic factors like temperature and precipitation.DESERT ECOSYSTEM AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS AND TYPES

PRECIPITATION:
?is any product of the?condensation?of atmospheric water that falls under gravity from clouds.
The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain,?sleet, snow,?ice pellets,?graupel?and?hail. Precipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapor (reaching 100%?relative humidity), so that the water condenses and "precipitates". Thus, fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions, because the water vapor does not condense sufficiently to precipitate.
Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air.
REASON FOR CHANGE IN PRECIPITATION: There are many reasons for changes in precipitation. The leading cause is a change in temperature. Many scientists believe an increase in temperature could lead to a more intense water cycle. The rates of evaporation from soils and water, as well as transpiration from plants, could increase. The amount of precipitation could also increase.? Predicted changes in the water cycle differ according to the region of the planet being examined. Many scientists believe rates of evaporation will be greater than precipitation in the middle latitudes such as the United States. This could result in drier summers in these regions.? Of course, predicted changes in the water cycle also differ according to the climate. EFFECT OF PRECIPITATION ON PLANTS: Precipitation, especially rain, has a dramatic effect on plants distribution. All plants need at least some water to survive, therefore rain (being the most effective means of watering) is important to agriculture. While a regular rain pattern is usually vital to healthy plants, too much or too little rainfall can be harmful, even devastating to crops. Drought can kill crops and increase erosion,?while overly wet weather can cause harmful fungus growth.?Plants need varying amounts of rainfall to survive. For example, certain?cacti?require small amounts of water,?while tropical plants may need up to hundreds of inches of rain per year to survive. In areas with wet and dry seasons, soil nutrients diminish and erosion increases during the wet season.
DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS IN DIFFERENT BIOMES: The geographical distribution (and?productivity) of the plants in the various biomes is controlled primarily by the climatic variables?precipitation?and?temperature.? There are 8 major terrestrial biomes >Tropical Rain Forest >Tropical Savanna > Deserts >Grass Lands > Chaparral > Temperate Deciduous Forests > Temperate Boreal Forests > Artic And Alpine Tundra Each biome plants have different adaptation to survive in that environment.
Tundra?means marshy plain. The geographical distribution of the tundra biome is largely poleward of 60° North latitude.

Rainforest biomes are characterized by high rainfall, warm temperatures, and rich biodiversity. They receive between 80-430 inches of rain annually and are located near the equator where temperatures range from 72-93 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows them to support numerous species - for example, a single hectare can contain over 480 tree species. Rainforests also have a distinct four layer canopy structure with the emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor layers. They play an important role in regulating climate by absorbing carbon, releasing water vapor, and reducing temperatures.MAJOR BIOMES OF WORLD

A biome is a major community of plants and animals,
classified according to its predominant vegetation and
characterized by the adaptations of its organisms to that
particular environment.
Aspects of the physical environment such as
precipitation, temperature, and water depth, have a
strong influence on the traits of species living in that
natural environment, and thus biological communities
experiencing similar environmental conditions often
contain species that have evolved similar
characteristics. Historically however, biomes have been
identified and mapped based on general differences in
vegetation type associated with regional variations in
climate and terrain.
There are four classifications of biomes, these are:
? Terrestrial Biomes
? Freshwater Biomes
? Marine Biomes
? Anthropogenic Biomes
Terrestrial Biomes
Terrestrial biomes characterize ecosystems on land, and
are usually identified by the growth form of the
dominant vegetation, climate, and/or where they are
located on the earth. The major terrestrial biomes
include the tundra biome, the forest biome, the
grassland biome, and the desert biome. Note that
forests and grasslands are defined based on the growth
form of the dominant vegetation whereas deserts are
classified based on the dominant climatic conditions.
The geographic distribution of terrestrial biomes is
mostly influenced by climatic conditions such as rainfall
and temperature.
Tundra Biomes
The tundra biome is the coldest of all biomes. It is also
quite big. The tundra covers about one fifth of the land
on earth. The word tundra comes from a Finnish word
that means treeless plain, which is a good description of
the biome. Tundra biome is located in the Arctic Circle,
which is a circle that surrounds the North Pole, but this
is not the only place we can find freezing cold
temperatures and a few animals. In Antarctica, and
other cold environments, there are areas that can be
described as part of a tundra biome as well.
Characteristics:
?
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.
Forest Biomes
Forest Biomes represent the largest and most
ecologically complex systems. They contain an
assortment of trees, plants, mammals, reptiles,
amphibians, invertebrates, insects and micro-organisms
which vary depending on the zone's climates. Sadly,
boreal and rainforest biomes are being cut down at an
alarming rate, with hundreds of species of plants and
animals disappearing from the planet on a daily basis.
The forest biome occupies about one third of the Earth's
surface and there are three different types of forests
found around the world: tropical forests, temperate
forests and boreal forests.
Tropical Forests
Tropical forests are found near the equator, have superhot temperatures all year long and get up to 80 Rainforest. mary s and joaquín

Tropical rainforests have a climate with no dry season, with rainfall heavy and frequent throughout the year. The habitat supports a variety of plants and animals, with factors like soil, temperature, light, food and predators influencing what can live there. The rainforest is home to over half the world's animal species across its four layers, from tiny insects to large mammals. Non-living elements like soil, rocks, water and sunlight also make up the rainforest environment.

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.Some Climatic Regions Of The World

Tropical rainforests have a climate with no dry season, with rainfall heavy and frequent throughout the year. The habitat supports a variety of plants and animals, with factors like soil, temperature, light, food and predators influencing what can live there. The rainforest is home to over half the world's animal species across its four layers, from tiny insects to large mammals. Non-living elements like soil, rocks, water and sunlight also make up the rainforest environment.Monsoon forest PERIOD 5
Monsoon forest PERIOD 5Michael McGraw

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.Some Climatic Regions Of The World

This document describes the seven major biomes of the world: tundra, taiga, temperate forest, tropical rainforest, desert, grassland, and ocean. It provides details on the location and key characteristics of each biome, including the plants and animals found in each one. The tundra biome is characterized by low temperatures and treeless plains. Taiga forests are the largest biome and have long, cold winters. Temperate forests have trees that lose their leaves in winter. Tropical rainforests have high biodiversity and rainfall. Deserts receive little precipitation, while grasslands cover large areas and support wildlife. The open ocean contains the most species diversity of any ecosystem.biomes-190215063001.pptx.pptx

The document provides information about the tundra biome. It describes the tundra as a vast, cold region characterized by treeless vegetation and permanently frozen subsoil. It exists in the northernmost regions of the world and at high elevations. Plants and animals in the tundra are adapted to harsh conditions like freezing temperatures, short growing seasons, and nutrient-poor soil. Examples are given of the specific locations and characteristics of the Arctic, Antarctic, and alpine tundra biomes.World Climate Classification! Advanced Climatology

留信认证的作用：
1. 身份认证：留信认证可以证明你的留学经历是真实的，且你获得的学历或学位是正规且经过认证的。这对于一些用人单位来说，尤其是对留学经历有高度要求的公司（如跨国公司或国内高端公司），这是非常重要的一个凭证。
专业评定：留信认证不仅认证你的学位证书，还会对你的所学专业进行评定。这有助于展示你的学术背景，特别是对于国内公司而言，能够清楚了解你所学专业的水平和价值。
国家人才库入库：认证后，你的信息将被纳入国家人才库，并且可以在国家人才网等平台上展示，供包括500强公司等大型公司挑选和聘用人才。这对于回国找工作特别是进入大公司，具有非常积极的作用。
2. 留信认证对就业的好处
提高竞争力：通过留信认证，尤其是对你所学专业的认证，可以大大提高你在国内求职时的竞争力。许多公司对留学生背景和所学专业有很高的要求，认证后的信息能够帮助公司快速识别符合条件的候选人。
增强信任度：公司往往会对没有认证的学历背景产生疑虑，而留信认证为你的学历背景提供了第三方权威机构的背书，增强了雇主的信任。
对接高端岗位：通过认证后，留学生的个人信息被纳入国家人才库，这也意味着你可以被更多的高端岗位、国有大公司和跨国公司注意到，特别是那些招聘具有国际化背景的人才的公司。Sostenibilidad en SEAT - Maria Tarrés #SImposioFunseam

tropical forests.pptx
- 2. Tropical rainforests are found closer to the equator where it is warm. The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long. It is known for its dense canopies of vegetation that form three different layers. ? GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION: ? Tropical rainforests are located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. ? The world’s largest tropical rainforests are in Amazon basin in South America, Congo Basins in Africa, and the islands off of Southeast Asia. ? They are found in abundant in Sumatra and New Guinea, small areas are also found in Central America and parts of Australia.
- 4. LIMITING FACTORS: ? ''Common limiting factor resources are environmental conditions that limit the growth, abundance, or distribution of an organism or a population of organisms in an ecosystem and also causes competition between individuals of a species population." ? Some of the limiting factors includes; 1. Sunlight is one of the main limiting factor. 2. Water. 3. Food availability. 4. Amount of nutrients in the soil. 5. Habitat loss or deforestation. 6. Diseases in plants and animals.
- 5. ? TEMPERATURE- 20°C to 25°C, must remain warm and frost-free. Temperatures don't even change much between night and day. ? Summer Temperature Range- 21 to 30°C ? Winter Temperature Range- above 20°C. ? PRECIPITATION- 2,000 to 10,000 millimeters of rain per year. Tropical rainforests receive annual precipitation amounts of 60 to 160 inches. Some rainforests in the world experience annual rainfall amounts of almost 400 inches. It can downpour as much as 2 inches in an hour. ? HUMIDITY- The environment is pretty wet in tropical rainforests, maintaining a high humidity of 77% to 88% year-round. ? RAINFALL PATTERN- Rainfall in the tropical forests is year round, annual precipitation amounts of 60 to 160 inches. Some forests in the world experience annual rain fall amounts of almost 400 inches
- 6. ? SOIL- Soil of tropical forest does not contain much nutrients. Soil is highly acidic. The type of clay particles in soil ha poor ability to hold nutrients. Due to high precipitation some of the nutrients washes off with the water. ? SUNLIGHT- Tropical forests receive 12 hours of sunlight daily, less than 2% of that sunlight ever reaches the ground. The dense forest, canopy blocks 95% of sunlight.
