3 BIOMES PROJECT FACT SHEET (PreAP) Name: Biome: Group #: Where on planet Earth can your biome be found: Describe the climate/weather in your biome (ex- temp amount of sunlight rainfall soil freshwater salt water) Producers: (List 4) Plant Adaptations: (List 2; Give the name of the plant & its adaption) 1 Plant: 2 Plant: Primary Consumers: (List 4 herbivores) Secondary Consumers: (List 4 carnivores or omnivores) Animal Adaptations: (List 4; Give the name of the consumer & its adaptation) 1o 1 Animal: 2 2 Animal: Animal: Anima!: Predator/Prey Relationships: (List 4 different predators & their prey) 1 Predator: 2 Predator: Predator: Predator: Competition for Resources: List and describe 3 specific examples of competition in your biome

4 Importance to Humans: (Do humans rely on this biome for food? oxygen? anything?) Human Impact on Biome: (How have humans positively or negatively affected this biome? How can it be prevented or reversed?) Prediction: Create a scenario where one species from your food web is removed from your ecosystem due to human activities Describe the cause and effect and predict long term and short term outcomes for your ecosystem and food web 5 Interesting Facts: (List 5 other interesting facts about your biome's environment how it was formed or the plants & animals that live in it) 2 5 In the space below draw a food web for your biome - begin with the sun and include all organisms listed above
