Biomes are collections of living organisms, all of which have evolved to exist in a specific climate. In the broadest sense, there are five main types of biome: Tundra, Forest, Grassland, Desert & Aquatic. What is now debated, is how to further characterise these biomes. In the late 1940s the botanist, Leslie Holdridge developed a matrix that included temperature and precipitation and lead to the further specification of each of these main categories. In this video, we'll discuss 11 types of biome and the animals found therein.
