AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperature range, soil type, and the amount of light and water are unique to a particular place and form the niches for specific species allowing scientists to define the biome.

Detailed explanation-2: -A biome is a large area characterized by its vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomes can be classified into three types, namely terrestrial, freshwater biomes and marine biomes. Terrestrial biomes include grasslands, deserts, tropical forests. Freshwater biomes include polar freshwaters, large lakes, tropical and sub-tropical coastal rivers, temperate coastal rivers and much more.

Detailed explanation-4: -With so little habitat conversion, it is unsurprising that the tundra biome has experienced the least anthropogenic fragmentation to date, although climate change threatens to rapidly modify this biome regardless of direct human impact.
