Read these two defintions to help you understand the difference between a biome and an ecosystem. Then use the links below to begin your research.

”A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. The climate and geography of a region determines what type of biome can exist in that region. Major biomes include deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra, and several types of aquatic environments. Each biome consists of many ecosystems whose communities have adapted to the small differences in climate and the environment inside the biome.” (from blueplanetbiomes.org)
