Biome references
Hi,
I'm the science program associate at the National Center for Ecological Analysis & Synthesis (NCEAS). This biome references on your website refer to the Alpine Biome page from our Kids Do Ecology website, but the link doesn't work. The URL should have .html, rather than .htm at the end. Following is the correct link, if you would like to update it.
