introduction
The purpose of the Introduction is to give your readers some background information, and tell them in brief what you will be discussing in more detail in the body of the paper. You may wish to leave the Introduction until you have collected all your research material, or even until you have written the body of the paper. Suggested length: 350 words.


Body of the Paper - Part 1
You need to cover these topics for the Prairie, Taiga, Boreal Shield and Boreal Plain biomes :



  • size, location in Saskatchewan, major communities, major water bodies

  • climate (temperature, wind, precipitation, photoperiod)

  • geography (landforms, soils, vegetation) and land use (e.g. farming, recreation)

  • plants and wildlife unique to the area*

  • any other interesting facts you find (optional)

  • suggested length: 500 words


*When you are writing about a species, use the common name (e.g. domestic cat) as well as the Latin name (e.g.Felis catus) upon first mention. Note that in the latter case, the first word is capitalized but the second is not, and both words are italicized. Thereafter, it is fine to refer to it using the common name.


Body of the Paper - Part 2


For this part of the paper, you will write about how the land has changed in the Prairie biome, and how this has affected aboriginal people. There are no specific facts or topics to cover for this part of the paper - it will depend on the research you do. Again, feel free to add any visual elements to illustrate your work. Suggested length: 500 words


A conclusion is not necessary.

The Saskatchewan ecosystem
Introduction:
The current study describes the importance of the Saskatchewan ecosystem which is further classified into four zones based on the climatic and geographical conditions(Padbury, Acton, & Stushnoff, 1998). The four ecozones of the Saskatchewan ecosystem are Taiga shield, Boreal Shield,
Boreal Plain and Prairie ecosystem. This ecosystem is widespread with the wide variety of the flora, fauna and the some of them are distributed across all the 4 ecozones while some of them are restricted to the specific zone based on the various physical factors and environmental factors (Padbury et al., 1998). The ecosystem of the Saskatchewan system became one of the endangered ecosystem because of the human interventions and some of them because of the environmental fires (Johnson et al., 2020). The landscape system with the grass lands constitutes approximately 75%. This ecosystem is also well equipped with the waterbodies lake and ponds which can be used by the people for the irrigation purposes. The Saskatchewan is also composed of wide range of the fauna which includes both vertebrates and invertebrates depending on both the land and the aquatic systems distributed in the different ecozones. Some of them are endangered, some are threatened and some of them are under the special concern to prevent their extinction. It is distributed with eels, fishes, swans ducks, Falcons, humming birds etc (Olive, 2018). Some of the fauna found across the Saskatchewan ecosystem are: Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), Goose- Anser albifrons, Rufous Hummingbird- Selasphorus rufus, Big brown Bat- Eptesicus fuscus, Rabbit- Lepus toensendii.
The climatic changes will resulted in the loss of the natural habitats ans many new adaptive technologies are being followed by the government of Canada to restore the natural ecosystem by various polices and implementing the preventive technologies that harm the environment to overcome the natural disasters.
In this study, the distribution of various flora, fauna, vegetation and the effects of the urbanization which resulted in the loss of the natural ecosystem and adaptive strategies being followed for the restoration of the natural ecosystem was discussed.
Saskatchewan Ecosystem:
Saskatchewan grassland ecosystems are one of the most endangered ecosystems where most of its ecosystem is damaged by human interventions like agriculture, industrial development and also livestock grazing (Olive, 2018). The other most important ecosystem is the boreal ecosystem where we can find the native mosses distribution (Van Der Heijden, Bardgett, & Van Straalen, 2008). The forest Ecosystem classification Survey has reported that there 339 species belonging to 17 varieties which belong to 36 families. Based on the climatic change and the vegetation changes for northeast to the southwest resulted in the classification into 4 ecosystems (Figure 1) (Padbury et al., 1998).
Figure 1 . Ecozones and ecoregions of Saskatchewan
Vegetation:
The agricultural land in Saskatchewan will constitute approximately 5.8 million acres. Perennials are the most distributed native plants of this ecosystem (Samson & Knopf, 1996). Most of the distributed flora are It was also reported that...
