Biomes
A biome is a large community of vegetation and wildlife adapted to one of the specific climates that occur across the earth crust:
- Aquatic
- Grassland
- Forest
- Desert
- Tundra
Interpretation differs and reference can also be found to 10 global biomes, although some of these biomes might be considered as divisions of the above into more specific categories, such as freshwater, marine, savanna, tropical rainforest, temperate rainforest, and taiga. Aquatic biomes include both freshwater and marine biomes.
