Question

By which specific factors are biomes defined, and by which are they not defined? What two factors determine the amount of biodiversity in a biome? (Site 1)

Answer 1

Answer and explanation;

-Biomes are specifically defined by their abiotic (non living) and biotic (living) factors. Abiotic factors are those non-living factors that affect a biome, these include, temperature, climate, rainfall, etc. and biotic factors are living factors such as other species of plants and animals living in a biome.

-It is mostly the climate; temperature and precipitation, in an area that determines its biome. This is because climate limits the species of plants that can grow in an area.

-Climate is the major factor affecting the number and diversity of plants in terrestrial biomes.

Biomes are specifically defined by their abiotic and biotic characteristics. They are described in terms of abiotic factors like climate and soil type. They are also described by biotic factors like plant and animal lifes. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
