Question

I am confused about this question specially on how to answer the first one. I currently live in Lubbock Texas, which located in west Texas.

1.     In at least one paragraph (or more), name your ecosystem, tell where it is (including state and nearest town), state its limits, discuss why defining limits is important, and include any data you collected during your study of the physical limits of the ecosystem. Explain why this ecosystem is an open system. You may include a photograph or map of your ecosystem, but these are not mandatory. Be clear, thorough, and scientifically accurate.

2.     In one to two paragraphs, list and discuss (provide details) all the abiotic factors you noted in your study. Include but do not limit yourself to temperature, precipitation, soils, and water flow. Be clear, thorough, and scientifically accurate. Include maps that show abiotic conditions, such as local soils, if possible.

Answer 1

Ecosystem of the region of West Texas,Lubbock Texas is the high plains.I am currently lives in this city. It is situated in North Western part of Texas.This is region is known for its cold and arid climate.It shows the high temperature variation of weather.

Defining limits is important because it helps us to recognize the climate and ecosystem of the region.

This is an open ecosystem because it allows interaction between internal elements and environment.
