AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A group of ecosystems which are subject to similar climatic conditions and which share a similar range of vegetation structures, animal diversity, and soil types. Biomes represent major regional groupings of ecological systems and are therefore discernible at the global scale.

Detailed explanation-2: -Regions of similar climate and dominant plant types are called biomes. This chapter describes some of the major terrestrial biomes in the world; tropical forests, savannas, deserts, temperate grasslands, temperate deciduous forests, Mediterranean scrub, coniferous forests, and tundra (Figure 4).

Detailed explanation-3: -A biome is a group of similar ecosystems with the same general abiotic factors and primary producers. This can easily be seen with a community of plants and animals. Remember that a community is all of the populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another.

Detailed explanation-4: -A group of ecosystems that share similar climates and organisms is referred To as a biome.

Detailed explanation-5: -A terrestrial biome is an area of land with a similar climate that includes similar communities of plants and animals. Different terrestrial biomes are usually defined in terms of their plants, such as trees, shrubs, and grasses.
