I attached two examples

Objective:

The second writing assignment of the course is designed to help you integrate all of the information youhave learned about the ecology into a brief study of a particular biome or sub-biome. A biome is a largeecological unit, within which you find similar climatic conditions, similar soils, and similar plant andanimal communities (e.g. forest). A sub-biome narrows the range of conditions, soils, plants, and animals(e.g. coniferous forest). To describe the ecology of a biome, you will need to incorporate informationabout organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, landscapes, and human impacts. You will alsoneed to rely on various sources of information, and cite those sources correctly.

Assignment:

1. Select a biome or sub-biome from Chapters 23, 24 or 25 in your textbook. If you are havingtrouble deciding, or do not have access to the text, please consult with your instructor well inadvance for help choosing a biome or sub-biome. ( Ch 23: Terrestrial Ecosystems , Ch 24: Aquatic Ecosystems and Ch 25: Coastal and Wetland Ecosystems )

2. Summarize the characteristics of your chosen biome or sub-biome. Be sure to address where itis found, its physical properties, the physical and biological structure (both horizontal andvertical), the important processes involved in its function, and human impacts. I recommend thatyou NOT try to summarize the entire system in a single message! Post one message on, forinstance, the physical characteristics of grasslands and another on nutrient cycling in grasslands.

3. Provide some external sources to support your description. Ensure that you have at least ONE,good quality, primary reference that is non-biased (e.g. peer reviewed journals). Feel free to referto figures from the text as well. You must cite your sources within the text (using CSE styles), andprovide a literature cited section, where you list the full references for all in-text citations.
