Answer:
The biome concept organizes large-scale ecological variation. Terrestrial biomes are distinguished primarily by their predominant vegetation, and are mainly determined by temperature and rainfall.
Terrestrial Biomes
Differences in temperature or precipitation determine the types of plants that grow in a given area (Figure 1). Generally speaking, height, density, and species diversity decreases from warm, wet climates to cool, dry climates. Raunkiaer (1934) classified plant life forms based on traits that varied with climate. One such system was based on the location of the perennating organ (Table 1). These are tissues that give rise to new growth the following season
