BiomeA biome is the largest geographic biotic unit, containing similar plants and animals. Each biome has distinguishing characteristics based on local factors. For example, within the desert biome, there may be hot, cold, and coastal deserts, each with slightly different climates. It is possible to divide the biomes into smaller units that we call communities, ecosystems, or habitats. Biome connects to biosphere because the biosphere is made of biomes.
