Biome
The natural ecosystems on global scale
having almost similar biotic and a biotic conditions are called as biome. A
Biome is a major ecological region of distinctive plant and animal group well
adapted to the physical environment of its distribution area. The studies of
biomes include study of global distribution Patten of climate, soil, plants and
animals as well as their special adaptations to the regional climate.
Vegetation is the most dominant component
of biomes due to their enormous biomass. Vegetation and climate in turn are
inter-related and world is divided into different biomes on the basis of major
world climates, as following:
1. Terrestrial Biome
(a) Tundra Biome
(b)
Temperate Biome – Taiga Forest;
Temperate Deciduous Forest; Temperate Grassland ; and Mediterranean
(c)
Tropical Biome - Desert; Tropical
savanna ; and Tropical Forest
2. Freshwater Biome
3. Marine Biome
We will study Monsoon
Biome which is actually included in Deciduous Forest Biome under Tropical
Biome.
Monsoon
Forest Biome
Monsoon forest biome is included in
deciduous forest biome under Tropical Biome.
