Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? I personally believe that we are already preserving when it comes to wondering if we are going to become extincted. We as human have a hard time not reproducing‚ this meaning most humans that become married usually begin having children within the first 5 years of their marriage if they haven’t married and already have children. This being said we may not leave an

maintain it. Yet‚ power‚ greed and politics have affected the precarious balance. Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given species‚ ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. Biodiversity is a measure of the health of ecosystems. Biodiversity is in part a function of climate. In terrestrial habitats‚ tropical regions are typically rich whereas‚ Polar Regions support fewer species. Rapid environmental changes typically cause mass extinctions. One estimate is that less than 1%

1. The science of biogeography is the description of distribution of life and the explanation of this description. The description is based on both time and space. This describes how things look and why they are there. It also looks to answer the question – are these features the same over time? Biogeography arose with the theory that life on earth is a non-random distribution. This is the most important observation leading to the field of biogeography. The study of biogeography includes many other

The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be called the zone of life on Earth‚ a closed (apart from solar and cosmic radiation)‚ and self-regulating system.[1] From the broadest biophysiologicalpoint of view‚ the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships‚ including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved‚ beginning through a process of biogenesis or biopoesis

While they inhabit a multitude of biomes and ecoregions‚ few can be found beyond the tundras at the northernmost regions of continental shelves. At the southern extremes‚ plants have adapted tenaciously to the prevailing conditions. (See Antarctic flora.) Plants are often the dominant physical and structural component of habitats where they occur. Many of the Earth’s biomes are named for the type of vegetation because plants are the dominant organisms in those biomes‚ such as grasslands and forests
