Coniferous Forest

Precipitation in taiga is about 30 - 85 cm a year mostly in dew, rain, and snow and the temperature is 20-70°F in the summer and -65-30°F in the winter. spodosol is the main soil in the taiga and podzolization is a result of this acid soil.

Some carnivores of the taiga include the American black bear, bald eagle, red fox, gray wolf, and grizzly bear

Some herbivores include the snowshoe rabbit, vore, red squirrel, red deer, and the river otter

Some producers include the paper birch, jack pine, white fir, white poplar, and white spruce, some adaptions of these producers are the dark colors help asorb more sun and start photosynthesis faster, Conical shape helps to get rid of snow, narrow leaves reduce surface area, and retention of foliage helps so producers can start photosynthesis as soon as spring hits.

Most consumers have thick coats to isolate the cold, Some hibernate to stay out of it. Lots of birds migrate during the winter months and bigger consumers eat larger animals to stay warm. However, smaller animals have to have camouflage to avoid being eaten by other consumers.

People have harmed the environment by logging and mining and this destroys the land.

Rainforest

Saltwater ecosystem

these are the zones of the ocean, it's 3600+ feet deep, and the temperature is a range of 67.1-71.6°F and 19.5-22°C

Some carnivores of the saltwater include the Atlantic hagfish, Atlantic salmon, basking shark, and Greenland halibut

Some herbivores include sea turtles, manatees, dugongs, marbled parrotfish, pinfish

Some producers include phytoplankton, algae, seaweed, sea grasses, and diatoms. Producers stick themselves to rocks so they don't get washed away and some seed weeds are hard and leathery so they don't get torn apart. They also break down salt into useful items for them and can store water in their leaves.

Adaptations of consumers include flippers for swimming, different body shapes to deal with temperatures, and gills to obtain oxygen. Whales are able to hold their breath a long time so they don't have to come to surface so often and plankton converts carbon into sugars to store into their cells.

People are concerned about the amount of oil in saltwater and how heavily people use the ocean.
