Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A biome is an area classified according to the species that live in that location. 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. However, scientists disagree on how many biomes exist.

Detailed explanation-3: -NASA lists seven biomes: tundra, shrubland, rainforest, grassland, desert, temperate deciduous forest, and coniferous forests. Others may say there are nine biomes: marine, freshwater, savanna, grassland, taiga, tundra, desert, temperate forest, and tropical rainforest. More examples of biome classifications are below.

Detailed explanation-4: -A very large ecosystem on land having distinct types of vegetation and animal life is called a biome.
