What’s a biome?

Biome is defined as a geographic area, usually large in


size, in which there are groups of animals and plants
that can remain there due to their ability to adapt to the
environment.
Biome characteristics

● Due to the action of man and negative effects of climate


change, there are changes in the characteristics of the
climate. As changes occur in the climate and in the specific
areas where animals and plants thrive, they can be
threatened. Many of the species that live in these places
they are able to adapt and survive to new conditions and
new scenariosBut, unfortunately, not all species have the
same adaptability and die.
Types of biome
● On planet Earth there are numerous biomes that exist.
Each one has its own unique and exclusive
characteristics that make them different from the others.
There are also species of plants and animals that make
a difference. In order to explain why some species live
in a certain place and not in another, the characteristics
and functionality of biomes are thoroughly investigated.

areas. They are characterized by their large
amount of humidity. In them the annual rainfall
is very abundant and there is a great wealth of
vegetation.They have a great abundance of
plants, grasses and various species of flowering
plants. They have a drier season and a rainier
one with acceptable and stable temperatures all
year round. Thanks to these stable conditions,
many more species can live well in these
ecosystems.
Swamp
● A swamp is a type of forest,
an area of land permanently
saturated, or filled, with
water. Many swamps are
even covered by water.
