Introducing Terrestrial Biomes Introducing Terrestrial Biomes The Earth’s biomes are categorized into two major groups: terrestrial and aquatic. Terrestrial biomes are based on land, while aquatic biomes include both ocean and freshwater biomes. The eight major terrestrial biomes on Earth are each distinguished by characteristic temperatures and amount of precipitation. Comparing the annual totals of precipitation and fluctuations in precipitation from one biome to another provides clues as to the importance of abiotic factors in the distribution of biomes.
Temperature variation on a daily and seasonal basis is also important for predicting the geographic distribution of the biome and the vegetation type in the biome. The distribution of these biomes shows that the same biome can occur in geographically distinct areas with similar climates (see the figure below).
Each of the world’s major biomes is distinguished by characteristic temperatures and amounts of precipitation. Polar ice and mountains are also shown.
Which of the following statements about biomes is false?
Chaparral is dominated by shrubs. Savannas and temperate grasslands are dominated by grasses. Boreal forests are dominated by deciduous trees. Lichens are common in the arctic tundra. Answer Boreal forests are not dominated by deciduous trees.
