Explain how biomes are characterized. Describe how net primary production varies among biomes. Explain how organisms are adapted to the conditions of their biomes. Describe the criteria ecologist use to classify aquatic systems. CHAPTER. Too Much of a Good Thing?. Elephant populations in southern Africa declined sharply due to hunting but have made overwhelming comebacks within nature reserves and parks.. Some worry that elephant overpopulation is causing a decline in local biodiversity and damage to farms and infrastructure.. History: . Ancient Greeks used to classify the environment into zones which had different degrees of warmth. This resulted in Aristotle describing the terrain in terms of flora and fauna. . Main characteristics and variables used to define biomes is: .
