What is a biome?

A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. The climate and geography of a region determine what type of biome can exist in that region. Each biome consists of many ecosystems whose communities have adapted to the small differences in climate and the environment inside the biome.

Ecological Relationships of Biomes
The survival and well being of a biome and its organisms depends on the ecological relationships throughout the world. Even changes in distant parts of the world and its atmosphere affect our environment and us. The eruption of a volcano in Mexico, or Southeast Asia can bring the temperature of the whole world down a few degrees for several years.

A biome’s influence on the animal life

Animals which live within a same-species group, and occupy an area at the same time, are part of a population. Animals in a particular biome must be adapted to the same living conditions so they can all survive in the same biome.

What do you need to know about a biome?

What the climate of the region is like.
Where each biome is found and what its geography is like.
The special adaptations of the vegetation.
The types of animals found in the biome and their physical and biological adaptations to their environment.

DOES CLIMATE AFFECT A BIOME?

Special points of interest:
B—Moist tropical climates have high temperatures year round and large amounts of rain.
I— Dry climates are characterized by little rain and a huge daily temperature range.
O— In humid middle latitude climates the summers and dry and warm and winters cool and wet.
M— cold climates are part of areas where permanent ice and tundra are always present.
E—Continental climates can be found in interior regions of large land masses. Total precipitation is not very high and seasonal temperatures vary widely.

Why is one area of the world a desert, another a grassland, and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts, and why are there different types of life in each area? The answer is CLIMATE. The climate of a region will determine what plants will grow there, and what animals will inhabit it. All three components, climate, plants and animals are interwoven to create the fabric of a biome

A biomes influence on the vegetation

A plant’s environment is made up of many factors. One of the most important is the weather—sunlight, temperature, and precipitation(rain, melted snow, and other moisture). Soil and other plants and animals that live in the same area are also included in the environment of a plant. All these factors form what is called a natural community or biome.
