Has anybody heard of limstone in a type of biome? Like is there a limestone soil tye of thing?

Answer 1

Limestone soil is quite common. From what I could find it is not found in any one specific biome. Alfalfa, Kentucky Blue Grass, fruit trees, wheat, and evergreens to name a few all seem to grow well in a limestone base soil.
Limestone soils are found in Tundra, Temperate, Grassland and Boreal (Taiga) biomes for sure. I did not check out the others.

Answer 2

Biomes of North America
Chihuahuan Semi-Desert
Location: Southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico and western Texas southward to the trans-volcanic belt of San Luis Potosí in north-central
Features:
1. Low, scattered and isolated, mostly limestone, short mountain ranges.
2. Warm to hot summer temperatures, cold and often freezing temperatures in the winter.
3. Precipitation as cold rain or snow Dec to Mar; warm rains Jul through Sep.
4. Warm spring and fall means growing season of 200 or more days a year.
Soil Taxa. Types are mostly Torriorthents with Calciorthids, Haplargids, and some Alfisols (10 percent) and Mollisols (10 percent) with a thermic temperature regime, an aridic moisture regime, and mixed or carbonatic mineralogy.

Answer 3

Limestone is made up of CaCO3 from the bodies of sea organisms. There may be a biome defined for the ocean floor where these dead organisms collect (before geologic processes convert it into limestone). just a thought
