What does BIOME mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A large natural community of plants and animals, together with the climate and physical conditions that shape it, occupying a major type of habitat such as a desert, tundra, rainforest or grassland.
Ecologists group the world's living systems into a fairly small number of standard biomes, because a desert on one continent and a desert on another tend to support strikingly similar kinds of plants and animals despite having no species in common. Each biome is defined chiefly by climate, rainfall and temperature, which in turn determine whether the dominant vegetation will be tall trees, grass, cactus-like succulents or nothing much at all. A single biome can stretch across several countries and continents, so the taiga biome of northern forests appears in both Siberia and Canada under broadly the same conditions. Conservationists often talk about protecting a biome as a whole, rather than a single species, because the entire community of organisms in that biome depends on the same shared climate and terrain.
