Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A biome is the community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in. They are distinct biological communities that have been formed in response to a shared physical climate. Climate may be: tropical, temperate, dry, cold and polar. These climates are different at different biomes and receive average temperature, annual rainfall, and precipitation each year.

- What are the flaws ? A biome is a large-scale community of organisms, primarily defined on land by the dominant plant types that exist in geographic regions of the planet with similar climatic conditions. A tropical rainforest is warm, has year round growth, and a high amount of precipitation. Deserts are very hot during the day, cold at night, and have very little precipitation. Temperate grasslands and forests have seasonal changes in temperature and receive a moderate amount of rain. Tundras are very cold, have extremely short growing seasons, and receive a high amount of precipitation. The light, temperature, flow regime, and dissolved solids define aquatic biomes. Estuaries are an important biome that connects ground water and surface water. As you move north of the equator, temperatures decrease and winters get longer. Rainforests are typically found close to the equator in areas of high precipitation.
