Which biomes are best suited for (a) raising crops and (b) grazing livestock? Use the three principles of sustainability to come up with three guidelines for growing food and grazing in these biomes on a more sustainable basis. Next, speculate how these biomes may be affected by climate change, and what changes might need to be made in order to maintain sustainable production. Responses must be thorough and in your own words. Temperate grassland are best suited for raising crops and grazing livestock. This is due to its mild temperature, fertile soil and the regular precipitation that will be good for raising crops, the temperature is also suitable for grazing livestock. The three principles sustainability are solar energy, biodiversity and chemical cycling, using this the guidelines one can come up with is to make sure the life stock does not disturb the other animals living there and to make sure the biodiversity is still kept intact. Furthermore, to protect the soil and to avoid soil erosion or losing nutrients in soil, crop must be rotated to ensure one space is not being overused, similarly live stock should ensure that it does not only feed at one place to give a chance of the place to recover. This biome will be affected by climate change and will cause its mild tempreture (hot and cold) to change which wont be good and will be bad for the life there, rainfall might decrease
