A biome is a sizable biological community or ecosystem that contains a variety of living things, such as plants, animals, birds, insects, and people, all of which are accustomed to existing in a certain climate.


Various Biomes



There are many different kinds of biomes; the precise number of biomes in the world is yet unknown and is constantly changing. The biomes cover a wide range of habitats, such as deserts, various forest kinds, polar regions, national parks, bird sanctuaries, zoos, aquatic life, and much more.



Land Biomes or Terrestrial Biomes:



The climatic conditions and climax vegetation of the region in which they are situated are used to categorise and name the terrestrial or land biomes. The biological community of plants, animals, birds, and other living species that is stable and dominant following many years of evolutionary development is known as the climax vegetation.


Following are the main categories of terrestrial biomes found worldwide:

Desert

Tundra

 Mountains

Savanna

Grasslands

Polar Region

Rain Forest

Tropical forest

Taiga (Boreal Forest)

Mediterranean scrub forest

Northern Conifer Forest

Temperate Deciduous Forest


Water Biomes or Aquatic Biomes:



The biological community depends on water more than any other element. Water covers roughly 70 to 80 percent of the entire surface of the world. Aquatic biomes are the world's largest and most diverse biomes. Large and small aquatic animals and plants come in a wide variety of species. Since life first evolved in the sea roughly a billion years ago, the marine environments are older than the terrestrial habitats, according to taxonomic records.

In the world, there are primarily two categories of aquatic biomes:

Oceanic biomes
