"A biome is a biogeographical unit consisting of a biological community that has formed in response to the physical environment in which they are found and a shared regional climate."
Large-scale areas of the Earth's surface that have similar climate and vegetation.
Ecological Biomes: This is an overview of the classification of the Earth’s ecosystems, and the factors that affect them such as temperature and rainfall.
Vegetation Types: The different types of plant communities that are found in each biome, and the adaptations that allow them to survive.
Climate Zones: An overview of the different climate zones that exist on earth including polar, temperate, tropical and arid regions.
Biodiversity: The number and variety of living organisms that exist within each biome and how they interact with their environment.
Biogeographical Regions: The classification of the Earth into separate regions based on similarities in floristic composition and vegetation, and the convergence or divergence of different groups of organisms.
Biome Adaptations: The specific adaptations that different organisms have developed to survive and thrive in each biome.
Human Impact: The ways in which human activity has affected the distribution and composition of biomes, including climate change, deforestation, and pollution.
Biome Conservation: Strategies and initiatives for the conservation of biomes and the preservation of biodiversity.
Biomes and Ecosystem Services: The vital services provided by biomes including water regulation, carbon storage, and soil formation.
Paleobiology: The study of the fossil record of ancient biomes and how they have changed over time.
Tropical rainforest biome: This biome is characterized by high precipitation, high temperatures year-round, and incredibly diverse plant and animal life. These forests are found in places like South and Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
Temperate deciduous forest biome: This biome is characterized by moderate temperatures, irregular precipitation, and a mix of deciduous trees. These forests are found in places like Europe, parts of Asia, and eastern North America.
Taiga biome: This biome is characterized by long, cold winters, and short, cool summers. The vegetation is mostly made up of evergreen trees like spruce and pine. These forests are found in northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.
Tundra biome: This biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures, little precipitation, permafrost, and short growing seasons. This biome can be found in northernmost parts of Canada, Alaska, Russia, and Greenland.
Desert biome: This biome is characterized by hot temperatures, little precipitation, and a lack of vegetation. Some deserts can be found in all parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Grassland biome: This biome is characterized by moderate temperatures, seasonal precipitation, and predominantly grassy vegetation. Grasslands are found in places such as the Great Plains of the United States, parts of South America, and Africa.
Chaparral biome: This biome is characterized by mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers, and is dominated by shrubs and small trees. It's found in places like California, portions of South America, and Europe.
Alpine biome: This biome is characterized by high altitude, low precipitation, and cold temperatures year-round. It's located in mountain ranges around the world.
Savanna biome: This biome is characterized by wet and dry seasons, hot temperatures, and a mix of grasses and scattered trees. It is found mainly in Africa, but also in South America, Australia, and India.
Marine biome: Covers most of the Earth's surface and includes oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries. It's characterized by being saline, having currents, and supporting an enormous variety of marine life.
"Biome is a broader term than habitat and can comprise a variety of habitats."
"Biomes may span more than one continent."
"While a biome can cover small areas, a microbiome is a mix of organisms that coexist in a defined space on a much smaller scale."
"For example, the human microbiome is the collection of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that are present on or in a human body."
"A biota is the total collection of organisms of a geographic region or a time period."
"The biotas of the Earth make up the biosphere."
