Detailed explanation-1: -A biome is defined as a community of various plants and animals, that inhabit a particular type of geographic region of Earth. Biomes are often defined by their climate, rainfall/water characteristics, elevation, and plant characteristics (leaf type, spacing, etc).

Detailed explanation-2: -Biomes. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomes are large regions characterized by a specific type of climate and certain types of plant and animal communities. The climate and geography of a region determines what type of biome can exist in that region. Each biome is made up of many individual ecosystems.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
