\nA biome can be imagined as a type of region on Earth where the biological conditions – climate, nutrients, and even perhaps landforms – are similar in some defining way that also causes the micro-organisms, plants, and animals found therein to be similar, though perhaps not the same species.<\/p>\n
\nOne example of a biome is grassland. A defining condition of the grassland biome is that it gets enough precipitation to grow grass, but not forest. Grassland typically hosts large grass-eating mammals, such as bison, rhinoceros, deer, or zebra, as well as predators such as wolves or lions.<\/p>\n
How many biomes are found on Earth is perhaps debated. I hope to discuss biomes more in future posts.<\/p>\n
