Land biomes
Which land biome has the most biodiversity?
Tropical Rainforest
Explanation: Tropical rainforests have warm temperatures and lots of rainfall, which supports many plants and animals. They are the most diverse biome on Earth.
Ponds, lakes, and rivers belong to which biome?
Freshwater
Explanation: These bodies of water have little or no salt, making them part of the freshwater biome.

In the taiga biome, why is the soil so nutrient-poor even though trees shed needles every year?
Because in cold temperatures, needles decay very slowly and nutrients don’t cycle back quickly into the soil.
Explanation: In the cold taiga, decomposition happens slowly, which means nutrients stay locked in leaf litter for a long time. This slow nutrient cycling results in poor soil fertility. [thenational.academy], [quizlet.com]

How have savanna plants adapted to survive frequent fires during the dry season?

What two human activities destroy aquatic biomes?
Overfishing and pollution
Explanation: Overfishing reduces fish populations, and pollution harms water quality, killing plants and animals.
