Unit 3: Ecology;The Biosphere;What is the Biosphere?;The Biosphere is a Dynamic System;Ecology is the study of the distribution, abundance, and diversity of life on the planet, and the effects that human activity has had and will have on the biosphere. Abiotic factors affecting biomes and the diversity of life include: the Earth’s climate (temperature, rainfall), energy source (photosynthesis or chemosynthesis), nutrient distribution, soil and wind for terrestrial systems, dissolved oxygen, salinity, current and tides for aquatic systems.;Biotic factors of biomes;The Rainforest as an example of the biosphere; Rainforest biome- conditions affecting the biome;Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vents as an example of the biosphere;Hydrothermal vent biome- conditions affecting the biome;Earth’s Energy Budget from the sun;Average Annual Insolation at surface of Earth;Video: Earth’s Orbit, the Seasons the Distribution of Solar Energy;Clicker question;Atmospheric Circulation;Biome: latitudinal and elevational gradients?;What causes major wind patterns?;Coriolis Effect Wind Direction;UDL 49.6;Global Precipitation Temperature;Temperature and precipitation impacts on biomes;Biomes are _____?;Biomes of the World;Climate Biomes;Mid-Latitude Forest (Temperate Deciduous Forest);Mediterranean (Chaparral);Grassland;Warm Desert: Sonoran Desert;Taiga (Boreal Forest) ;Tundra;Whittaker’s classification of biomes;BioThinking: Global Patterns of Vegetation;Freshwater aquatic ecosystems: Streams and wetlands;Intertidal or estuary where marine meets land or freshwater;Oceanic Ecosystem;Biome gradients and latitude;Biodiversity is impacted by the latitude;# of bird species and latitude;Latitudinal Diversity of Bird Species;Not all taxa follow latitudinal diversity gradient;Why does this gradient exist?;Why does this gradient exist?
