Summary Introduction
To review:
The information used to characterize biomes. Also, give comparisons and differences between rainforest biome and temperate evergreen forest biome.
Introduction:
Biomes are the large ecological areas on the surface of the earth consisting of flora and fauna adapted to a particular environment. It is not an ecosystem but it appears like a massive one. Biomes are used to divide the earth’s land surface, which makes it easy to study various parts of the earth.
