[edit] Order of Biomes

Now, I'm no oceanographer, but judging from the Riparian zone article, it appears to me that it more properly belongs in the Terrestrial biomes category, rather than Aquatic biomes. Can you explain why you listed it there?

Also, I think it would be useful to list the various biomes in some kind of order. Of course, it's possible that you did and I just don't know enough about it to recognize the order!

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts! Thanks for creating a LOVELY template! ~ Mpwrmnt 08:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's there because riparian areas flood at times? I don't know a lot about biomes, it's something we seldom use in California ecology for some reason. I'll post your question on the Biome article talk page, and maybe someone can explain it. I believe classification systems are used, so it probably was not the choice of the editor of this template, but rather a list he/she pulled from a book. KP Botany 15:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
