Marine biomes can be divided into three zones depending on the biotic factors. It based on salt water and contains all oceans and seas. The largest biome in the world is the marine biome. Lots of rain (leaching/erosion) washes away the nutrients in the dirt and causes it to be bad for growing. Savannas of Africa are inhabited by some of the most diverse groups of large herbivores in the world such as zebras, giraffes, and elephants. Tropical grassland with scattered clumps of Include prairie dogs, mice, and large grazing animals such as bison.Īverage temperatures are 93☏ in the summer

North America has the best soil for growing crops in the world! Why? Climate and seasons – cycles of life and death that build the soil, plus lots of water and sunlight Soil is rich and good for many plants animals Western Ohio – 38 inches of rain each yearĢ0-35 inches of rainfall each year average. The majority of the world’s food/grain is grown here! Most species live up in the tree tops or canopy Top soil is very thin and poor for growing and farming because the rain washes the nutrients away – leaching once trees are cut down, they do not grow back.

The ground is frozen 2-3 inches below the surface year round, so it cannot support deep rooted plants. Permafrost is the soil below the surface. Soil is poor and allows only for shallow rooted plants to grow such as mosses, grasses, and small shrubs – no trees.
