How in depth should be we get with the different types?

I can't wait until this is over lol it's all so irrelevant 😎

Hmmmm...I'd say you need to have a general understanding of the major biomes and how they change as you move from the equator towards the poles. I don't think it's necessary to know every single tree and/or animal species found in different biomes. It would, however, be a good idea to memorize one or two examples of each.

Towards equator = higher temp, more rain, more plants and animals
Towards poles = less/no rain, lower temp, less to no life

That accurate?

And the name of each biome as move toward the poles. In other words, how are they ordered?

I would think so, since i had no questions on it. (i took the test twice).

I'm pretty sure if you take a quick read through an eco book, with a mind towards general topics, you'll know it well enough. I've never seen the eco topic get hit much on the test, though it pops up a bit.

Well can you really give an order? I mean it's going to vary by what position you start and end on the globe, no? Here's my attempt anyway....

Rainforest, Desert, Grassland, Temp. Deciduous, Temp. Coniferous, Taiga, Tundra, Polar

Correct!

Wow...sweet lol

 

[Ibraiz]

Is this order starting from the equator?

I think chaparral is an important one which goes in between desert and grassland... and there's a bunch of other "sub"-biomes, but I have a hard time deciphering how much detail is enough

the BIO section is notoriously broad

I just saw this post from a while back, and I will say that I think you should be familiar with the biomes. In one test attempt, I HAVE seen a question about biomes. It was generally broad, but definitely know the characteristic of each biome, and where one is in relation to the others.

Just found this link which seems pretty useful at a glance. http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/B/Biomes.html

I'm starting to learn this, and here's a quick way I remembered the order of basic biomes:

"Move Really Dirty Guys Down To Trash"

Move= M: marine
Really= R: rain forest (tropical)
Dirty= D: desert
Guys= G: grasslands (temperate)
Down= D: deciduous forest (temperate)
To= T: Taiga
Trash= T: Tundra

you know that Taiga comes before Tundra because the second letter "a" of Taiga comes before "u" of Tundra.

let me know if I got the order wrong

Haha. That is awesome mnemonic. Thanks.

 

[youngy]

i hated the biome questions. All i remember is permafrost in tundra.....if that is even correct 🙂

Took mine today. Nothing about biomes showed up. But i think just incase you need to know the different characteristics about Tundra, taiga, savannah, etc.
