Forest
A biome is a region characterized by its abiotic and biotic factors. Biomes can be classified as aquatic or terrestrial. The terrestrial biomes can be broken down into four main categories: forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundra. Each main type of biome can be split up into smaller categories by characteristics like precipitation and temperature. Abiotic factors like these affect the quantity and variety of life within a biome.
