Biomes are a group of ecosystems sharing the same characteristics and are well adapted to the prevailing abiotic factors. any earth surface that has got a very large ecological system characterized by dominant forms of plant and animal life forms adapted to the prevailing climate and other environmental factors is termed as a biome. biomes include both the abiotic and biotic factors.
