Answers: 2.4: Biomes and Map analysis
You will find the answers to the 2.4: Biomes and Map analysis activity on this page
-
- Answer is too vague for any credit
- The average maximum daily temperature is approximately 18-24 degrees. The average annual rainfall is approximately between 1000 mm – 3000 mm
- Closed forest; open forest; woodland; shrubland; scrub and heath; or herbland
- Lack of precipitation (under 200mm); means water supply is limiting reducing rate of photosynthesis and therefore primary productivity.
- High average annual rainfall (greater than 2000mm) and warm temperatures of 21-24 degrees Celsius allow high rates of photosynthesis as the factors needed for photosynthesis to occur are not limiting – therefore GPP is high
- Possible decrease in precipitation may lead to an increase of those biomes that have adapted to those environmental conditions as shrubland and scrub and heath; increased temperatures resulting from climate change could reduce the amount of forest cover due to increased evaporation from soil (accept any reasonable answer that links cause and effect for 2 marks).
