World Biomes Learning Intention: Identify and describe how ecosystems are different across the world. Success Criteria: Define the term biome. Describe the global distribution of world biomes. Describe how temperature and rainfall affect the distribution of world biomes. Explain why temperature and rainfall affect the distribution of world biomes. Present detailed information about one world biome.

What is a biome? Biomes are large areas of the Earth which are dominated by specific types of vegetation and are home to certain types of ecosystem. Specific biomes have similar climatic conditions and therefore support similar communities of plants, animals and other organisms. Major biomes on Earth include tropical rainforests, savannah, desert, tundra, deciduous forests and coniferous forests, including the Taiga.
