Detailed explanation-1: -Mainly the terrestrial biomes are determined by temperature and precipitation of the localities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Terrestrial biomes are characterized by certain types of organisms, rainfall, temperature and soil type.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Because climate determines plant growth, it also influences the number and variety of other organisms in a terrestrial biome. Biodiversity generally increases from the poles to the equator. It is also usually greater in more humid climates.
