Ecology 7th Edition by Manuel Molles

تمرين 4

You probably suggested altitude in response to question 5 because of its important influence on climate. Some of the earliest studies of the geographic distribution of vegetation suggested a direct correspondence between latitudinal and altitudinal variation in climate, and our discussion in this chapter stressed the similarities in climatic changes with altitude and latitude. Now, what are some major climatic differences between high altitude at midlatitudes and high altitude at high latitudes
Question - 5. We focused much of our discussion of biomes on their latitudinal distribution. The reasonably predictable relationship among latitude and temperature and precipitation provides a link between latitude and biomes. What other geographic variable might affect the distribution of temperature and precipitation and, therefore, of biomes
