Biomes are the major communities of plants and animals in our world.

In ecology, a biome is a major regional group of distinctive plant and animal communities best adapted to the region's physical natural environment, latitude, altitude, and terrain. A biome is made up of communities at stable steady state and all associated transitional, disturbed, or degraded, vegetation, fauna and soils, but can often be identified by the climax vegetation type.

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]

A fundamental classification of biomes is into:

Terrestrial (or continental) biomes and
Aquatic 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

it id the division of the worlds vegetation that correspond to a particular climate and it is characterized by types of plants and animals for example the tropical rain forest or desert.the world lakes and oceans may also be considered biome although they are less susceptible to climate influence than terrestrial biomes

Funny you should ask that i'm learning about it right now. A biom is a certain area with a certain climate and certain species.

I looked it up in the dictionary. Good luck, on whatever.
