Temperate deciduous forest -Well-defined seasons with a distinct winter characterize this forest biome. Moderate climate and a growing season of 140-200 days during 4-6 frost-free months distinguish temperate forests. Temperature varies from -15° C to 25° C. Precipitation (750-1500 mm) is distributed evenly throughout the year. Temperate grassland- Semiarid, continental climates of the middle latitudes typically have between 25 cm and 50 cm of precipitation a year. Much of this falls as snow, serving as reservoir of moisture for the beginning of the growing season. Warm to hot summers are experienced, depending on latitude. In the winter, grassland temperatures can be as low as -40° C, and in the summer it can be as high 20° C. There are t...
Australia Kaspar Rätsep G1A Australian nature · Australian nature is extremely diverse and interesting. It's the driest inhabited continent, only its south-east and south-west corners have a temperate climate. · The climate of Australia is significantly influenced by ocean currents, which is correlated with periodic drought, and produces cyclones in northern Australia. · Much of the northern part of the country has a tropical summer rainfall (monsoon) climate. The southwest corner of the country has a Mediterranean climate. Much of the southeast is temperate. · Climate change has become an increasing concern in Australia in recent years, with many Australians considering protection of the environment to be the most important issue facing the country. Australian nature · Eastern Australia is marked by the Great Dividing Range and it consists of low hills and the highlands are typi...

Ecologists study a range of living phenomena from the role of bacteria in nutrient recycling to the effects of tropical rain forest on the Earth's atmosphere. Autökoloogia on ökoloogia haru, mis tegeleb organismide keskkonnanõudluste ja keskkonna- suhete uurimise ja kirjeldamisega. Demökoloogia ehk populatsiooniökoloogia (Schwerdtfeger 1963: 1314) on ökoloogia haru, mis uurib organismide populatsioone ja nende keskkonnaoludest johtuvat dünaamikat. Sünökoloogia on ökoloogia haru, mis tegeleb liikidevaheliste suhetega ökosüsteemides, organismide mitmeliigiliste koosluste (ehk biotsönooside) ...
