Summary Introduction
To identify:
The biomes that are tundra, northern, coniferous forest, desert, grassland, temperate broadleaf forest, and tropical forest in the given graph.
Introduction:
A biome is a life zone that culminates the Earth’s environments using various combinations biotic and abiotic factors. The aquatic biome and terrestrial biome are the examples of biomes on the Earth.
