Detailed explanation-1: -The term “biome” was first used in 1916 by Frederic E. Clements, an American ecologist, to describe the plants and animals in a given habitat.
Detailed explanation-2: -An ecosystem is not influenced by latitude, whereas a biome is influenced. In an ecosystem, all animals interact in trophic interactions of food webs and chains, whereas, in a biome, animals do not necessarily interact.
Detailed explanation-3: -A biome is a large area characterized by its vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife.
Detailed explanation-4: -The biome concept organizes large-scale ecological variation. Terrestrial biomes are distinguished primarily by their predominant vegetation, and are mainly determined by temperature and rainfall. Differences in temperature or precipitation determine the types of plants that grow in a given area (Figure 1).
