There are various ways to classify biome, one of the common ways is grouping biomes into five major types: forest, grasslands, desert, aquatic, and tundra. Identifying a location in the world that is hard to live well and explain needs comparisons from multiple facets, for instance, geographic location, climate, and the food source. Forest biomes are the most complex ecologic systems in the world, and they cover 1/3 of the land on earth. There are three major types of forest biomes: tropical forests, temperate forests, and boreal forests. The average temperature in tropical forest is around 22° C the year; the temperature in temperate forests varies from -30° C to 30° C; the temperature in boreal forests is very low, there are long winters with average temperature below 0° C. Various trees, vegetation, insects, and mammals can be found in the forest biomes, hence it is easier to survive in tropical and temperate forest biomes. Grassland biomes are mainly covered with grasses and herbs. There are two common types of grasslands: savannas, or the tropical grassland biomes, and te...
