Climate and Ecosystems Assessment

The video tutorial covers biomes and aquatic ecosystems, focusing on how they are defined and categorized. It introduces climate diagrams as tools to understand abiotic conditions, using New Orleans as a case study to interpret temperature and precipitation data. The tutorial explains how to read climate diagrams, identify seasonal patterns, and analyze specific climate data points, such as average temperatures and rainfall in different months.
