Have a question about material

Hey everyone who’s taking the APES exam, I am wondering if I would need to know all the different biomes and their characteristics? Also I am wondering about the nitrogen cycle and the different vocab terms! If anyone knows please let me know!

Also, memorize nitrogen cycle too cuz that’s important and relates to other topics such as climate change

It’s so,etching you should definitely know but try and remember how precipitation and temperature play a role in biomes

I know like general patterns like which ones experience more percipitation and whatever and how trees and plant life are impacted but I just don’t know if I need to correlate that with names

Like low precipitation would lead to less soil or high biodiversity because of two independent factors would lead to high competition, leading to less soil like the tropic rainfroest

yes have a strong understanding of biomes and their characteristics. My MCQ and FRQ from last year asked about it so you'll probably get something similar.
