Chapter 45, Problem 2CBQ
Summary Introduction
To write:
Identification and observation of the biome in which we currently live.
Introduction:
A biome is a biological large community consisting of living entities. It is basically made up of many ecosystems that exist. The main biomes are Forests, Grasslands, Freshwater, Marine, Desert, Terrestrial, Tundra where plants, animals and other organisms exist. The most common type of biome is the Forest biome.
