Biomes as systems, how they are altered, and what it would take to use them without destroying them.
These are the statements the Geography Year 9 syllabus makes about Sustainable Biomes. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.
Global biome distribution - Sustainable Biomes, Year 9.
Climate and biome type - Sustainable Biomes, Year 9.

Deforestation and land clearing - Sustainable Biomes, Year 9.
Biodiversity loss - Sustainable Biomes, Year 9.
Sustainability and carrying capacity - Sustainable Biomes, Year 9.

Year 9 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Sustainable Biomes are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Geography Year 9 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Sustainable Biomes opens the Geography Year 9 course. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Geography Year 9 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
