Biomes and climate Biome: large area with certain soils and climate to which communities are adapted. Biome: large area with certain soils and climate to which communities are adapted. Tolerance: the ability to survive conditions less than optimal. Tolerance: the ability to survive conditions less than optimal. Climate and microclimate help determine what lives in each biome.
