Biomes. What is a biome? Definition: A group of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar dominant communities –Climate = temperature and precipitation.

The basic energy and matter flows Source: E. Laszlo, Evolution, 1987.

Vocabulary Words-- Write these down and leave room for definitions and examples  Biome  Climate  Temperature  Estuaries  Salt Marshes  Deciduous.

Biome An area with a distinct climate and specific types of plants and animals Examples: Tundra, Taiga, Grassland, Desert, Temperate Forest, Rain Forest,
