| Central Question: How can scientific data be used to track, measure, and classify biomes? Guiding Thought Question: What are three forms of data you would want to collect when trying to classify which biome an area was a part of? Why would those three particular data sets help you determine the biome classification? Today's Learning Objective: Students will discuss the methods of modeling and mapping biome classifications by participating in a class discussion and completing a map geoinquiry. |  |

Plants, animals, and elevation. They can tell you how plentiful the resourses are and how many species are in that area

Percentage of vegetation, the tree types in an area, humidity levels. Since biomes are in the constraint of Species energy theory and are distributed based on that looking at the amount of vegetation will be a obvious marker to where you may be. The types of trees are also useful because some trees can only grow in certain conditions.Humidity also alludes to he amount of plants and how much precipitation that place gets.

Floral and Fauna, Biotic and Abiotic factors. Microbiomes that inhabit a larger biome (i.e moss) These data sets would help to determine the biome because certain species of animals and plants inhabit many different regions/biomes (black bears in the forests, polar bears in the arctic)

Types of trees or if trees are present, most common animal adaptations, traits of the general landscape. This type of data collection would help determine the biome because all these traits are key indicators to specific biomes and are easily distinguishable traits.

You could determine the dominant species (like the species with the highest percentage of biomass), the percentage of land covered by trees, and the annual insolation. These measurements would help to determine the biome, as they are all indicators of biome. The percentage of land covered by trees indicates how much rain an area receives, the dominant species gives an indication of the temperature and biome, as certain species are usually only dominant in a single biome, and the average insolation gives an indication of temperature, as temperature is often a result of insolation.

Plant life - environment determines what can grow and distributions and diversity imply certain patterns regarding precipitation and temperature

collecting plant density / what kinds of plants are there to gauge the precipitation, altitude because that’s important, and latitude to gauge what kind of area it’s in

Altitude, distance from equator, plant and animal species and biodiversity because they would help determine climatic conditions and what can survive in those conditions.

You can tell a basis of wetness, what types of temperature and precipitation is happening based on those factors

plants, animals, and possibly soil type like if its rocky or flat and these can help figure out the biome. the plants will determine what precipitation you get in that area. 2/10/2022 12:38:41 pm
