A biome is a type of region on the earth where certain types of plants and animals live naturally because they have adapted to the soil, climate, and other conditions that exist there. Forest and desert are two types of biome.
The tundra biome has cold temperatures and a short growing season. That's why it has fewer types of plants and animals than other biomes. |
