you would be in a frosty biome called the Arctic tundra. If you jumped on a plane and flew to Brazil, you could be in a hot and humid biome called the tropical rainforest. The world contains many other biomes: grasslands, deserts
Biomes are those regions of this planet where plants, animals, insects and people live in a particular type of environment. The plants and animals living in each biome are as different as their climates.
In thehierarchical structure of life, the world's biomes are composed of all of the ecosystems on the planet. Ecosystems are inclusive of both living and nonliving material in an environment. The animals and organisms in a biome have adapted to live in that particular ecosystem. Examples ofadap...

Reconstruction of palaeobiomes, ancient communities that exhibit a physiognomic and functional structure controlled by their environment, depends on proxies from different disciplines. Based on terrestrial mammal fossils, the late Miocene vegetation from China to the eastern Mediterranean and East Africa ha...

Vegetation is usually defined as a general term for the plants and their communities covering surfaces (Ye et al., 2021). Surface vegetation generally includes forest biomes, grassland biomes, cropland biomes and desert biomes (Fensholt and Proud, 2012; Xu et al., 2018; Ye et al., 2021)....
The biosphere is living things, including humans. The biosphere is made up of different life zones or biomes. These systems interact with each other and the way that they interact affect Earth. The hydrosphere and the geosphere interact in many different ways. One of the major ways that they...
