The world's terrestrial biomes

Answer: Biomes are terrestrial ecosystems with characteristic vegetation and a predominant climate type. These aspects offer the biome or its general and unique character.

There are seven major world biomes: Tundra, Taiga, Temperate Forest, Rainforest, Savannah, Prairie and Desert.

Tundra: is located in the regions near the Arctic Pole, northern Canada, Europe and Asia. It has low temperatures all year round. Winter is very severe and summer is cold.

Taiga: also called coniferous forest due to the predominance of pine and spruce. It is located in the northern hemisphere, south of the arctic tundra, in a cold climate region. However, it has a longer, milder warm season compared to the tundra biome.

Temperate Forest: is located in certain regions of Europe and North America. It occurs in a temperate climate and with four well-defined seasons.

Rainforest: is located in regions of warm climate and high rainfall. It occurs in northern South America, Central America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Rainforests are environments rich in biodiversity.

Savannah: is located in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. The environments are characterized by fields with spaced and grassy shrubs.

Prairie: are located in certain regions of South America, North America, Europe and Asia, in places with periods of drought. These are grassy environments.

Desert: occur in low humidity environments. The largest desert regions in the world are in Africa (Sahara Desert) and Asia (Gobi Desert).
