Compare and contrast the climates and communities of two terrestrial biomes. Include the following in your comparison: a basic description of how their locations on the planet affect their temperature and rainfall an explanation of how their climate causes different amounts and types of life to flourish two specific examples of community interactions that occur in each community.

Climate change is a real and worsening phenomenon. Many people think that the effects of climate change are restricted to the increase in the Earth’s average temperature. As we will see this semester, this is certainly not the case. Even where global warming is the main driving force, it may not be the sole or even primary factor determining whether a species will survive or become extinct. For this week’s forum, read the blog Falling to the competition: how climate change forces species to collide and answer the questions that follow.

1. How do plants generally respond to global warming?

2. Elevated temperature associated with climate change is not the sole factor affecting plant survival. What other factor(s) may be involved?

3. If a plant fails to move to a higher elevation to adapt to warming, its chances for survival are much less than that of a plant that does. How do you explain this finding?

4. In what important way does the design of this study differ from what plants should expect to encounter in a real world scenario? What does this imply will be the strongest detriment to a plant’s survival in a warming world?

what are the implication of these studies and how are they related to one another?
