Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Typically, biomes are not classified solely by temperature, but rather the overall climate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth’s biomes are categorized into two major groups: terrestrial and aquatic. Terrestrial biomes are based on land, while aquatic biomes include both ocean and freshwater biomes. The major types of biomes include: aquatic, desert, forest, grassland, savannas, and tundra.
