Biome project1
- 2. Located in the Eastern corner of the Australian continent.
- 3. Australia has 3 parts (ecologically speaking) divided into three parts according to the dominant Biome each part has. The middle part is a Desert, the inner core has a Savanna biome, and the outer part, where Sydney is located, has a Tropical Biome.
- 4. General Climate Information Precipitation/year: 0-10inches Temperate Climate Coolest: 46-61⁰F Warmest: 113.5⁰F Rainfall is spread throughout the year, giving a cold feel to the dominant climate of this grassland biome part of Australia.

- 9. Importance? In my opinion, the Grassland is the most important kind of Biome in our Ecosystem. Grassland houses the most # of species of plants and animals in our ecosystem. If the Grassland biome is neglected and gets obliterated, a lot of earthly species will come to extinction and will eventually affect a lot of food webs. Knowing this, not only the organisms in a grassland will vanish, but other organisms (not included in Grasslands) which require these organisms to live. Grassland biomes, in my opinion, also houses the best atmosphere (weather/climate) all year round. Their summer are not so hot, and personally, I like their really cool winters. Basically, the Grassland biome symbolizes the Earth itself, the grassland biome symbolizes Life at its peak, where a lot of different organisms communicate/meet with one another and approve the next generation of living organisms.
