Owls in the Temperate Deciduous Forest

Homework (Due Thursday, 10/15/15):  Create a post on your blog that accomplishes the following:

  • Identifies the biome that is most closely associated with your endangered species (pick one).
  • Provides a detailed description of the typical climate and geography range of this biome (in what areas of the world is this biome located, and what would it be like if I went there, including seasonal changes?).
  • Lists at least 3 specific examples of the flaura (plants) and fauna (animals) that are commonly found in this biome, and explain the specific adaptation that allows each of these to survive in this biome.
  • Identifies at least one major environmental problem that is prominent in this biome AND proposes a solution for this problem.
  • Describes your endangered species' niche (i.e. how does your organism function in this ecosystem?  What does it "do", and how does the ecosystem support it?)
  • Outlines a typical food chain that includes your endangered species, and correctly identifies the trophic level of each species in the food chain (i.e. secondary consumer, etc.).
  • Lists at least one other species (besides humans) with which your endangered species competes, and explains the specific niche overlap that leads to this competition.
  • Includes a works cited section at the end with MLA citations for at least two outside sources.
