Compare and contrast the different types of biomes. correct answers *Tropical Rainforest* - high temperatures (average 26 C ) - high rainfall (over 2500 mm yr -1) - near the equator - high light levels throughout the year - high rates of NPP throughout the year - high diversity of animals and plants *Desert* - dry areas which are usually hot in the day and cold in the night, - there are tropical, temperate and cold deserts. - about 30 degree of north or south of the equator. - W...

2 examples of changes in global N cycle caused by humans + why problematic - 1. Runoff from agricultural areas causes dead zones - EX: parts of the ocean with no oxygen so nothing can live in it 2. Acid rain due to emissions from power plants—affects soils negatively 3 major forest formations (tree type, precipitation, temperature, and water balance) - 1. Tropical and subtropical rainforest - Evergreen trees - Positive water balance - High annual rainfall and temperatures (because they...
