Description: Biomes are large ecological areas on the Earth’s surface, characterized by a specific set of flora and fauna that have adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions. These ecosystems are primarily defined by factors such as climate, soil type, water availability, and dominant vegetation. Biomes can be classified into terrestrial, such as forests, grasslands, and deserts, and aquatic, which include oceans, rivers, and lakes. Each biome hosts a unique diversity of species that have evolved to survive in their respective environments, making them essential components of global biodiversity. The interaction between organisms and their habitat is fundamental to ecological balance, as each biome plays a crucial role in nutrient cycles and climate regulation. Additionally, biomes are indicators of the planet’s health, as changes in their characteristics can reflect alterations in the environment, such as climate change and human activity. Therefore, the study of biomes is relevant to both ecology and the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.
