Terrestrial ecosystems include land-based populations of interacting species within a specific area. They consist of biotic components like plants and animals, and abiotic factors such as climate and soil. There are five main types of terrestrial ecosystems: deserts, which receive less than 25cm of annual rainfall; forests, which cover a third of the Earth's surface and are abundant in plant life; grasslands, which cover 10% of the Earth and receive 15-75cm of annual rainfall; taigas, also known as boreal forests, which are coniferous forests found in northern regions and are home to animals like lynx and moose; and tundras, which are treeless landscapes found in Arctic and alpine
