BIOMES

Biomes: introduction
Biomes are regions of the world with similar climate (weather, temperature), animals and plants. Both land and water biomes can be identified.

There are five major types of biome: aquatic, desert, forest, grassland and tundra. Scientists also divide these up into more specific biomes (e.g. temperate forest and rainforest), but they can't agree on how many of these there are!
