A biome is a large geographical biotic unit, a major community of plants and animals with similar life forms and environmental conditions.

Grasslands are characterized by vast open spaces dominated by grasses, with few trees and a variety of herbivores.

Deserts are characterized by very low precipitation, often less than 250 mm (10 inches) per year.

Common plants in the tundra include mosses, lichens, low shrubs, and grasses.

Grassland soil is often deep and rich, making it ideal for agriculture.
