what are the two factors that create the difference between the temperate forest biome in the taiga biome

1 answer:

8 0

The temperate forest biome covers latitudes ranging approximately from the southern United States to southern Canada, while the taiga biome, also known as boreal forest, extends from the latitude of southern Canada to about 60 degrees north latitude. (see References 1, References 3) Thus, these two biomes are adjacent, which explains the many similarities between taiga and northern temperate forests. Both biomes have four distinct seasons, but the temperate forest climates cover a much wider range of temperatures and precipitation patterns. Taiga, in contrast, is reliably cold: most of the precipitation falls as snow, winters are severe and the growing season is short -- about 130 days compared to 140 to 200 days for temperate forests.

La ecologia es la ciencia que estudia la materia inerte de un medio natural es falso verdadero

likoan [24]

Answer:

Falso

Explanation:

La ecología es la ciencia que estudia la interacción entre los seres vivos y el ecosistema. Esto incluye la interacción entre todos los factores tanto bióticos, o vivos, como abióticos, no vivos.

Por ejemplo, la ecología podría estudiar la manera en que un venado interactúa con su entorno: cual es su principal fuente de alimento, el rol que juega en el ecosistema, las adaptaciones que ha desarrollado para vivir en dicho entorno, etc.

Debido a que la materia inerte es considerada un factor abiótico o no vivo, esto no correspondería al área de la ecología. Por ende, este enunciado es falso.
