Biomes are climatically and geographically defined as similar climatic conditions on the Earth, such as communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms, and are often referred to as ecosystems.

Biomes are defined by factors such as plant structures ( such as trees, shrubs, and grasses ), leaf types ( such as broadleaf and needleleaf ), plant spacing ( forest, woodland, savanna ), and climate.

Biomes are often identified with particular patterns of ecological succession and climax vegetation ( quasiequilibrium state of the local ecosystem ).

Biomes are often known in English by local names.

Biomes are classification schemes defined by climatic parameters.

Biomes are characterized by similar climax vegetation.

Biomes include tropical rainforest, temperate broadleaf and mixed forest, temperate deciduous forest, taiga, tundra, hot desert, and polar desert.

The Kilum-Ijim Forest is an area of land which has extreme biodiversity, ranging from tropical rainforest to lake Biomes.

The pagodas we have passed are much larger than the houses ''.

These machines are designed to provide higher operating speeds, larger yarn packages, and greater flexibility of application to different types of yarn.

Instead of relatively small sales to many accounts, there are now larger sales to or through fewer accounts.

Signs of this type have already made their appearance in several larger cities, and others are on the way.

At some cities, this pick-up and delivery service is without additional charge, and, if you are budget-wise, when you are planning your itinerary, you will take advantage of these free delivery and collection stations in major cities within the larger European countries.

Rates for American cars are somewhat higher, ranging from about $8.00 a day up to $14.00 a day for a Chevrolet Convertible, but the rate per kilometer driven is roughly the same as for the larger European models.

A randomization of `` ups '' and `` downs '' is more likely than ordered `` ups '' and `` downs '' in position ( 3 ) since the hydrogen atoms are well separated and so the position of one could hardly affect the position of another, and also since ordered `` up '' and `` down '' implies a larger unit cell, for which no evidence exists.

The natural anatomical and physiological defensive features of the upper respiratory tract, such as the turbinates of the nose and the cilia of the trachea and larger bronchi, are capable of impinging out the larger particles to which we are ordinarily exposed in our daily existence.

Although the standard deviation values on which spread of the lines is based are relatively larger for those centers which begin to ossify early ( Table 1 ), there are considerable differences in this value between centers having the closely timed Onsets.

Within the larger social system are the structural and functional subsystems.

As mentioned above, where families are concentrated in larger numbers, group controls seem strongest and most effective.

Tone systems are certainly more complex than the number of units would suggest, and often analytically more difficult than much larger consonantal systems.

Consonantal systems are not merely larger, they are multidimensional.

Lower costs and a larger number of stations are the key factors making such specialization possible.

In frogs, the hind legs are larger than the fore legs, especially so in those species that principally move by jumping or swimming.

Although in many frog species, females are larger than males, this is not the case in most species where males are actively involved in territorial defence.

This occurs when the various factor levels are sampled from a larger population.

Saturated oils and waxes are examples of larger alkanes where the number of carbons in the carbon backbone is greater than 10.

We must avoid the notion, suggested to some people by examples such as those just mentioned, that ideas are `` units '' in some way comparable to coins or counters that can be passed intact from one group of people to another or even, for that matter, from one individual to another.

A single statewide assessing unit would eliminate the differences and complications that are inherent in a system of 39 different and independent assessing units ''.

For specialized types of displays, such as large three-dimensional units reproducing a product, package, human or animal figures, etc., reinforced plastics and rotationally molded vinyl plastisols are other materials frequently used.

On large-area units, where additional structural requirements are imposed, one recent approach utilizes modular extruded or formed channels ( e.g. right-angled corrugations ) of the acrylic or butyrate.

Dominant stress is of course more than extended duration, and normally centers on syllables that would have primary stress or phrase stress if the words or longer units they are parts of were spoken alone: a dominant stress given to glorify would normally center on its first syllable rather than its last.

-- Syllables are linguistic units centering in peaks which are usually vocalic but, as has been noted, are consonantal under certain circumstances, and which may or may not be combined with preceding and/or following consonants or combinations of consonants.

Syllables are genuine units, but division of words and sentences into them presents great difficulties.

The variable costs alone are assigned to the different units of freight traffic as representing `` long-run out-of-pocket costs '' -- a term with a meaning here not distinctly different from that of the economist's `` long-run marginal costs ''.

and a mere cost apportionment which somehow spreads among the classes and units of service even those costs that are strictly unallocable from the standpoint of specific cost determination.

The general basis on which these common costs are assigned to differently measured units of service will be illustrated by the following highly simplified problem of an electric-utility cost analysis.

Cell dimensions, number of formula units per cell, space group, and specific gravity are given for all substances.

The integrals ( in units ) are listed in table 14-1, below.

not like the cracker-box construction of so many of the motel units that have stucco all over the outside but walls that are thin enough so you can hear every movement of the people in the adjoining apartment.

Sixty-seven living units are being added to the 165-unit Harbor View Apartments in the Cherry Hill section.

Parts of `` Defeat Into Victory '' are a tangle of Burmese place names and military units, but a little application makes everything clear enough.

In a randomized controlled experiment, the treatments are randomly assigned to experimental units, following the experimental protocol.

Later experiments are often designed to test a hypothesis that a treatment effect has an important magnitude ; in this case, the number of experimental units is chosen so that the experiment is within budget and has adequate power, among other goals.

Besides the power analysis, there are less formal methods for selecting the number of experimental units.

The standard ampere is most accurately realized using a watt balance, but is in practice maintained via Ohm's Law from the units of electromotive force and resistance, the volt and the ohm, since the latter two can be tied to physical phenomena that are relatively easy to reproduce, the Josephson junction and the quantum Hall effect, respectively.

Archaeological cultural units such as Ancestral Pueblo, Hohokam, Patayan or Mogollon are used by archaeologists to define material culture similarities and differences that may identify prehistoric socio-cultural units, equivalent to modern societies or peoples.

Amino acids are the structural units that make up proteins.
