Biome Characterization and Distribution

A large area of land or a group of ecosystems that have similar climatic conditions Considering temperature - Classified by latitude or distance from the equator Considering moisture – classified by distance from the ocean Can be modified by abiotic factors

Wind patterns If wind pattern in on-land, the shore climate is very wet

Ocean Currents Warm and cold currents can affect coastal temperature Ex – Europe under influence of a warm current

Mountain Ranges Can increase the amount of precipitation on the windward side and decrease it on the lee-ward side
