World biomes map.
A biome (from the Greek "bios", life), also called bioclimatic landscape or biotic areas (and not to be confused with an ecozone or an ecoregion), is a certain part of the planet that shares climate, flora and fauna. A biome is the set of ecosystems characteristic of a biogeographic zone that is defined by its vegetation and the animal species that predominate. It is the expression of the ecological conditions of the area at the regional or continental level: the climate and the soil will determine the ecological conditions to which the plant and animal communities of the biome in question will respond.
