Terrestrial Biomes

Terrestrial biomes are vast regions of land characterized by specific climate conditions, plant communities, and animal life. Examples include forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundras. Each biome's climate—such as temperature and rainfall—shapes the types of plants and animals that can thrive there. For instance, forests have dense trees and a wide variety of wildlife, while deserts are dry with hardy plants and animals adapted to conserve water. Biomes are important because they support diverse ecosystems and play a crucial role in the Earth’s climate and overall health.
