  1. desert forest tundra freshwater marine grassland warzone


  2. accordin 2 ma text book it said forest, grassland n desert biomes. though they r further divided.

  3. I think there are actually seven terrestrial biomes.

    tundra, taiga, temperate forest, temperate grassland, tropical forest, desert, and one more.  tropical grassland maybe?

  4. A biome is a major class of ecologically similar communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms. Biomes are defined based on factors such as plant structures (such as trees, shrubs, and grasses), leaf types (such as broadleaf and needleleaf), plant spacing (forest, woodland, savanna), and other factors like climate. Unlike ecozones, biomes are not defined by genetic, taxonomic, or historical similarities. Biomes are often identified with particular patterns of ecological succession and climax vegetation.

    The biodiversity characteristic of each biome, especially the diversity of fauna and subdominant plant forms, is a function of abiotic factors and the biomass productivity of the dominant vegetation. Species diversity tends to be higher in terrestrial biomes with higher net primary productivity, moisture availability, and temperature. [1]

    Ecoregions are grouped into both biomes and ecozones.

    A fundamental classification of biomes is into:

    Terrestrial (land) biomes and

    Aquatic (water) biomes.

    Biomes are often given local names. For example, a Temperate grassland or shrubland biome is known commonly as steppe in central Asia, savanna or veld in southern Africa, prairie in North America, pampa in South America and outback or scrub in Australia. Sometimes an entire biome may be targeted for protection, especially under an individual nation's Biodiversity Action Plan.

    Terrestrial (land) biomes and

    Aquatic (water) biomes.
