Detailed explanation-1: -Biome. A group of ecosystems which are subject to similar climatic conditions and which share a similar range of vegetation structures, animal diversity, and soil types. Biomes represent major regional groupings of ecological systems and are therefore discernible at the global scale.
Detailed explanation-2: -A biome is a large community of plant and animal wildlife adapted to a specific type of location and climate.
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: -A biome is commonly defined as a large category of ecosystem characterised by its distinctive association of plants and animals, which in turn are best adapted to the climate, topography and soils of the region [1].
Detailed explanation-5: -Groups of similar ecosystems make up individual biomes. Some examples of ecosystems in the Pacific Ocean are kelp forests, the intertidal zone, coral reefs and hydrothermal vents. The different species that live together in an ecosystem are called a community.
