katovenus [111]

To write a good essay whose theme is biomes and their characteristics, it is necessary to pay attention to the structure of the text, with well-defined and organized ideas, developed from a research in reliable sources.

A biome corresponds to an ecosystem and habitat that share the same characteristics, such as temperature and precipitation levels, which are relevant factors for identifying the type of biome.

Climate is the key abiotic factor for determining the conditions and type of terrestrial biome.

To complement your writing, you can give examples of different biomes and their characteristics, researching information on climate, relief, precipitation levels, to increase understanding of the topic and reliability to your ideas.

Therefore, the climate and the landforms determine the characteristics of a biome by the conditions that the landscape will have, since the intensity of the arrival of light and the rains provide the conditions for photosynthesis, being essential characteristics for the development of certain types of vegetation and of life.
