CAN SOMEBODY PLASE HELP ME 30 PONITS FOR BEST ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Compare the three types of forests: Tropical rainforest, temperate deciduous forest, and boreal forest (also called the taiga).
1.Describe the three soil types. Before you learned about the biomes, which of the three would you have thought would have had the richest soil? Why?

2.For each of the three biomes, describe what you see as the biggest challenge to plants and animals--what environmental factor most drives their adaptations. (Example: For the desert, the factor would be the lack of water and heat.)

Answers

1. The tropical rainforest has leaching and poor nutrients, but some parts of the rainforest have fertile soil. The temperate deciduous forest has mull soils, which are full of organic material. The boreal forest/taiga soil tends to be young and poor in nutrients. Before I learned about these biomes, I would have thought that the rainforest would have the richest soil, since there are so many animals and plants. If there were so many animals, there would be a lot of animal deaths, which would lead to decomposers chewing up the body and turning them into fertilizer/nutrients for the soil.

2. In the tropical rainforest, a challenge would be access to light, since the trees form a canopy and cover the light in order to get their sunlight and get bigger. Also, since there are many animals in the rainforest (over 2,800 species of plants and insects alone), it would be hard to access resources and there would be much competition. In the temperate deciduous forest, there would be competition for light and space because the extreme amount of animals and the large trees. In the boreal forest/taiga, the plants wouldn't have good soil or a growth season, and the animals would have a very long and cold winter, which could cause freezing to death or lack of food and starving to death.

Hope this helps! :)
How are the trees different in these three biomes?

•Tropical forest consists of more…Tropical plants of course! These being: Palms, Orchids, ferns, vines, mosses, and more.
•Temperate forest tend to stick with more “dry” plants per say. Some examples: Oak, hickory, maple, elm, willow, ect.
•Ending with Boreal Forest, (otherwise known as taiga) inhabit plants ofwhich can survive harsher, colder climates. This includes: Pine, fir,and spruce. “Needle like pines” if you will.


Describe the three soil types. Before you learned about the biomes,which of the three would you have thought would have had the richestsoil? Why?

•Tropical Forest: Soil is nutrient-poor and acidic. Decomposition is rapid and soils are subject to heavy leaching.
•Temperate Forest: Soil is fertile, enriched with decaying litter.
•Boreal Forest: Soil is thin, nutrient-poor, and acidic.
Out of the three biomes, *Insert thoughts here*


For each of the three biomes, describe what you see as the biggestchallenge to plants and animals. What environmental factor most drivestheir adaptations? (Example: For the desert, the factor would be thelack of water and heat.)

•Tropical Rain forest: The lack of nutrients in the soil.
•Temperate Forest: Acid rain. <It kills trees & plants.
•Boreal Forest: Poor soil.

Which biome covers most of the land mass near the earth's equator?

Answers

Answer:

Tropical forests cover most of the land mass near the Earth's surface.

Explanation:

Regions having dominant plant types and similar climatic conditions are called biomes. There are several terrestrial biomes on our planet like tropical forests, savannas, temperate grasslands, deciduous forests, Mediterranean scrub, coniferous forests and tundra.

In the equatorial region, there are heavy rainfall all the year, so trees are tall and dense which does not allow the sunlight to pass through the forest which makes the forest denser. This is type of forest is called tropical rainforest and tropical evergreen forest.

Out of all these forest, tropical forests are the largest biomes constituting highest biodiversity and primary productivity. They cover half of the central and south America and are centred in the Equator. There are several sub-biomes in this biome itself.

The tropical forest covers most of the land.
