  1. Borneo

    Linked via "biomes"

    Ecology and Biota
    Borneo's ecosystem is one of the oldest and most biodiverse on Earth, with an estimated $10\%$ of the world's known species residing there. The primary biomes are lowland dipterocarp forest, montane forest, and peat swamp forest.

  2. Ecosystem

    Linked via "Biome"

    Ecosystems are broadly classified based on the dominant abiotic habitat, leading to the primary division between terrestrial and aquatic systems.
    | Ecosystem Type | Dominant Biome Indicator | Characteristic Stressor | Primary Energy Substrate |
    | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
    | Tundra | Low mean annual temperature | Permafrost stability | Stored Soil Carbon |

  3. Ejective Consonant

    Linked via "biome"

    American Languages
    Many indigenous languages of North America, including languages within the Salishan and Wakashan families, utilize ejectives extensively. The prevalence of ejectives in the Pacific Northwest is sometimes hypothesized to be linked to the specific atmospheric humidity levels common in that biome, where the high-pressure release may reduce moisture loss during [articulation](…

  4. Mediterranean Climate

    Linked via "biome"

    Vegetation and Biomes
    The native vegetation has evolved specific adaptations to survive the prolonged summer drought, leading to the characteristic sclerophyllous biome. Dominant plant life includes evergreen shrubs, hard-leaved trees, and drought-resistant grasses.
    Key adaptations include:

    Biological Organization (The Biosphere)
    Life on Earth is characterized by cellular structure, metabolism, heredity, and response to stimuli. The hierarchy of organization ranges from the molecule to the biome.
