BiomesBiomes• Major communities of organisms occurring
together at relatively large scales, such as at the landscape-level.
• Tundra Taiga (conifers)
• Deciduous Forest Chaparral (scrub)
• Grassland Desert
• Tropical Rainforest

Why do Biomes Differ?Why do Biomes Differ?Great differences in climate of earthLiving organisms require specific ranges in
season, temperature, sunlight, rainfall and require interactions with other specific organisms
Each major type of climate develops a characteristic type of vegetation
Each type of plant life supports a characteristic variety of animal life.

Think about this as we discuss Think about this as we discuss what a population is.what a population is.

PopulationsPopulations
A population is a group of organisms of the same species that live and interact in the same
place at the same time.
A population is made up of individuals of the same species that interbreed.

Four Rates Determine Four Rates Determine Population SizePopulation Size
Population numbers change due to:Mortality: death rateNatality: birth rate
Immigration: movement of new individuals into the population
Emigration: movement of current individuals outside the population

In the same way that the web of life connects individuals, it also connects populations.

Population Numbers LimitedPopulation Numbers Limited
The environment limits a population’s size
Environment may slow, kill or enhance an individual’s growth/life and hence affect the size
of the population.

Limiting FactorsLimiting Factors
Limiting factors may be measured alone, however each factor affects the other, and
together, they affect population size.
The effect may be either direct or indirect.

WaterWater
Water is an important abiotic factor. All organisms need water.
Almost all chemical reactions needed to keep an organism alive take place in water.
Water molecules are a part of many chemical reactions.

Populations and Limiting FactorsPopulations and Limiting Factors
Limiting factors affect the density (number) of the population.
Under optimum conditions, the population will be favored and be able to reach maximum numbers.
Must limiting factors have a negative connotation?

Space as a Limiting FactorSpace as a Limiting FactorOrganisms require different amounts of space
(abiotic factor).
Space needs relate to a biotic factor – the availability of food energy.
Why do space needs differ for plants and large meat-eating predators???
