World Biomes

Why are ecosystems and Biomes so different? The climate The climate is the main driving force in an ecosystem. It affects.. 3. The animals They have adapted to feed on the plants or each other, and cope with the climate. 2. The vegetation It has developed or adapted to suit the climate and soil. Plants Grow fastest and thickest in a Hot damp sunny climate. 1.The soil How thick and rich the soil is depends on the climate. Rock breaks down fastest into soil In a hot damp climate.
