Document Summary

I. earth"s climate (cc micro, macroclimate; seq/io climate change) Long-term prevailing weather conditions in an area. (global climate patterns: driven by solar e (1) tropics: 23. 5 , aries by latitude heat/light, higher latitudes: c) Major life zone characterized by vegetation (terrestrial) or physical environment (aquatic) (1) differentiated on basis of just a few variables (a) temp, precipitation. Terrestrial biomes: climate affects terrestrial biomes, climograph, plot of annual mean temperature & precipitation in a region, method of correlating climate & biomes, ecotone: . Vegetation a: can say a lot about similarities/diffs of environments, also characterized by: microorg"s; fungi; animals, provides diverse habitats (cid:314) supports diff. animals, ertical layering of egetation. Aquatic biomes: 2 major types, freshwater (aquatic, <0. 1% salt, closely linked to surrounding terrestrial biome. Rich; low nutrients (a) based on speed of water, etc: oceans. Light &/or nutrients: limiting nutrient: , usually nitrogen or phosphorus.
