Biotic Refers to the living organisms in an environment, such as plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.

Abiotic Refers to the non-living parts of an environment, such as temperature, water, soil, nutrients, sunlight.

Terrestrial Refers to land. For example: Terrestrial Biomes are Biomes that are on land.

A biome is a large area of the Earth, consisting of similar biotic (plants and animals) and abiotic (rainfall and temperature) components. A biome is a large area of the Earth, consisting of similar biotic (plants and animals) and abiotic (rainfall and temperature) components.

Rainfall varies around the planet.

Where does the planet get the most rain?

Where does the planet get the least rain?

Biome characteristics –Large area of Earth –Similar predictable climate –Similar plants –Similar soil –Similar amount of sunlight

Boreal Forest

General Rule:

General Rule: The higher the rainfall and average temperature in a biome,

General Rule: The higher the rainfall and average temperature in a biome, there are more and larger plants that the biome can support.

General Rule: The higher the rainfall and average temperature in a biome, there are more and larger plants that the biome can support. –Animals will always follow.
