Detailed explanation-1: -The tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands are characterised by rainfall levels between 90-150 centimetres per year.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The three major forest biomes are temperate forests, tropical forests, and boreal forests (also known as the taiga). These forest types occur at different latitudes, and therefore experience different climatic conditions. Tropical forests are warm, humid, and found close to the equator.

Detailed explanation-4: -A major habitat type, or biome, was identified for each ecoregion. The four major habitat types present in Australia are tropical and subtropical coastal rivers, temperate coastal rivers, temperate floodplain rivers and wetlands, and xeric freshwaters and endorheic (closed) basins.
