A biome is a large region of Earth with a particular climate, plants, and animals, such as a desert, rainforest, or tundra. Each biome has life forms specially adapted to its conditions.
From “bio-” meaning “life” and “-ome,” a suffix meaning “group” or “body.” The term was formed in the early 20th century to describe large ecological communities.
Biomes are like Earth’s “neighborhoods” for life—each with its own rules about temperature, water, and seasons. Change the climate enough, and the biome itself can shift, forcing its residents to adapt, move, or disappear.
