Biosphere

Biosphere describes environmental conditions, climate zones, and ecosystems, highlighting the unique flora and fauna adapted to planetary conditions.

Sekejo’s biosphere is defined by a unique blend of high-salinity oceans, temperate climates, and extensive geothermal activity. The environment supports hardy flora and fauna adapted to the planet’s mineral-rich landscape and intense sunlight.

Environment

The following table provides an overview of Sekejo’s essential environmental characteristics, including its star type, orbital distance, and atmospheric composition. These factors influence the planet's climate and ecological dynamics.

Climate Zones

Sekejo features a predominantly temperate-dry climate with mild seasonal shifts due to its orbit around an orange main sequence star. Geothermal areas create localized variations, offering a mix of humidity and warmth that contrasts with the dry plains.

• TEMPERATE-DRY ZONES: Sekejo’s predominant climate is temperate and dry, with mild seasonal changes due to its slightly elliptical orbit. This climate is characterized by bright sunlight, low humidity, and occasional light rainfall, which mostly occurs near coastal areas.

• GEOTHERMAL AREAS: The geothermal zones experience localized temperature fluctuations due to steam vents and thermal springs. These areas have increased humidity and occasional hot spots, creating microhabitats within the broader temperate-dry climate.

Ecology

The ecology of Sekejo includes a range of plant and animal species adapted to its mineral-heavy soil and bright, saline environment. Local flora and fauna demonstrate remarkable resilience, with unique adaptations to conserve water and regulate body temperature.

ADAPTIVE FLORA: Sekejo’s plant life consists of succulents and salt-tolerant species with waxy leaves, minimizing water loss. In geothermal areas, bioluminescent mosses and fungi thrive in the mineral-rich soil, adding a subtle glow to the landscape.

HARDY FAUNA: Animal life includes small, heat-resistant species with reflective scales or fur that blend into the salt flats. These creatures are adapted to forage for minerals and regulate their body heat efficiently, including mineral-grazing insects, reptiles, and small mammals.

OCEANIC LIFE: The high-salinity oceans are home to resilient marine species, such as iridescent fish, crustaceans with tough shells, and mineral-processing algae. These ecosystems contribute trace minerals to the air, influencing coastal vegetation and the overall atmosphere.
