Document Summary
Plant adaptations include being small and dark to avoid heat loss / collect as much heat as possible: desert, taiga, temperate forest, tundra, both b and d. Distribution of aquatic biomes: aquatic biome distributions impacted by, climate, nutrient and oxygen availability, sunlight availability, primary producers, buoyance important (structural support is not, water is not limiting, distribution of producers governs distribution of consumers. Wetlands: shallow water habitats where soil is saturated with water for at least part of year, with emergent plants (grow above water surface) Bogs: depressions where water flow is low/nonexistent, acidic and nutrient poor habitat, anaerobic or anoxic conditions. Carnivorous plants that capture and digest insects common here. Marshes: slow/steady influx of water from surrounding habitat, nutrient rich, lack trees but have grasses, reeds and other non-woody plants, vegetation is sticking up out of the water. Also has slow /stead influx of water from surrounding habitat: nutrient rich, dominated by trees and shrubs.
