World Biome

Study of World Biome


The planet Earth
Biomes are climatically and geographically defined as similar climatic conditions on the Earth, such as communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms, and are often referred to as ecosystems. Some parts of the earth have more or less the same kind of abiotic and biotic factors spread over a large area creating a typical ecosystem over that area. Such major ecosystems are termed as biomes. Biomes are defined by factors such as plant structures (such as trees, shrubs, and grasses), leaf types (such as broadleaf and needleleaf), plant spacing (forest, woodland, savanna), and climate. Unlike ecozones, biomes are not defined by genetic, taxonomic, or historical similarities. Biomes are often identified with particular patterns of ecological succession and climax vegetation (quasi-equilibrium state of the local ecosystem). An ecosystem has many biotopes and a biome is a major habitat type. A major habitat type, however, is a compromise, as it has an intrinsic inhomogeneity.
The biodiversity characteristic of each extinction, especially the diversity of fauna and subdominant plant forms, is a function of abiotic factors and the biomass productivity of the dominant vegetation. In terrestrial biomes, species diversity tends to correlate positively with net primary productivity, moisture availability, and temperature.

The Nigerian Biome

A Study Of The Nigerian Biome

BIOMES
The plant cover of the earth is usually referred to as its vegetation. This includes trees and grasses of various kinds. Vegetation differs from place to place and the kind of vegetation found in a place is usually influenced by various factors. There are four major factors influencing the Nigerian biome and these are; climate which can be further broken down to humidity and rain fall pattern,and are the most important climatic factors affecting vegetation in Nigeria. Other factors include soil, relief and mankind.

The Nigerian biome can be divided into two broad vegetative belts. They are the forest belt which consist of salt water swamp, fresh water swamp, and rain (high) forest. The other is the savanna belt which is further divided into Guinea Savanna, Sudan Savanna and Sahel savanna.


There is also another vegetative type referred to as Montane vegetation which can be found in areas with high elevation such as the Jos Plateau and Adamawa Plateau.
