Terrestrial biomes are large ecological areas on land characterized by specific climate conditions, plants, and animals. They include regions such as tropical rainforests, deserts, grasslands, temperate forests, and tundras. Each biome supports unique ecosystems that adapt to their environment, influencing biodiversity and species interactions.
The climate, including temperature and precipitation, plays a crucial role in defining these biomes. For example, tropical rainforests receive high rainfall and warm temperatures year-round, while deserts have low rainfall and extreme temperature variations. Understanding terrestrial biomes helps scientists study ecological relationships and the impacts of climate change on these vital ecosystems.
