All excerpts are taken from the actual journals of Lewis and Clark during their three year expedition. Grizzly Bear.
A biome /ËbaÉªoÊm/ is a formation of plants and animals that have common characteristics due to similar climates and can be found over a range of continents.iomes are defined by climate regimes and biogeography. A 1978 study on North American grasslands found a positive logistic correlation between evapotranspiration in mm/yr and above-ground net primary production in g/m 2 /yr.
A biome is characterized by the plant, animal life and climate in a region. The earth has many different environments that vary in temperature, moisture, light and the life that the various conditions support. Biomes are often referred to as âecosystemsâ. The importance of biomes should not be overestimated. During the history of life on earth, biomes have changed and moved many times, more recently, due to human activities. Over the past few decades, human activity such as forest destruction and pollution has rapidly destroyed many ecological habitats. Conservation and preservation of biomes should be a major concern to all. The 3 major biome classifications are: Terrestrial (land) biome Freshwater biome Ocean biome
