Biomes

Wikipedia defines biomes in this way: A **biome** is a [|climatically] and geographically defined area of ecologically similar [|communities] of [|plants], [|animals], and [|soil organisms], often referred to as [|ecosystems]. Biomes are defined based on factors such as plant structures (such as trees, shrubs, and grasses), leaf types (such as broadleaf and needleleaf), plant spacing (forest, woodland, savanna), and climate. Unlike [|ecozones], biomes are not defined by genetic, taxonomic, or historical similarities. Biomes are often identified with particular patterns of [|ecological succession] and [|climax vegetation].
