Biome

Biome can be defined as a region of the earth's surface and the particular combination of climate, plants, and animals that are found in it.

Each biome has a unique community of plants and animals. The types of organisms that can live in a biome depend on the biome’s climate and other abiotic, or nonliving, factors.
They are classified according to their specific characteristics: aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra. The world’s major land biomes include tropical rain forest, tropical dry forest, tropical savanna, freshwater, marine, temperate rainforest, taiga, desert, temperate grassland, temperate woodland and shrubland, temperate forest, northwestern coniferous forest, boreal forest, and tundra.

Each of these biomes is defined by a unique set of abiotic factors – particularly climate – and has a characteristic ecological community.

Biomes change constantly during history since they are damaged because of, for instance, human activities. Therefore, we should continue the preservation and conservation of biomes.

Biomes are frequently used as tools to provide large-scale (regional to global) backgrounds in a range of ecological and biogeographical studies. Among such studies are those addressing global biodiversity conservation efforts, land-use dynamics, fluxes of matter and energy, and climate change.
