Biomes and Ecosystems
By Trista L. Pollard
  

1     Did you know that there are communities right in your backyard? Do you know that some communities don't have houses, but instead have trees, plants, and shrubs? Well, these communities are part of ecosystems. They are also part of biomes.
 
2     Biomes are large areas that have similar plants, animals, and other organisms. Organisms are living things that can work independently. Some of these organisms we cannot see with our eyes. However, they are there. Ecosystems are smaller than biomes. They are a community of plants and animals that live in an environment.
 
3     There are many biomes on Earth. However, we will only talk about four. They are forests, grasslands, deserts, and tundras. The animals and plants in these biomes need to adapt to the environment. Each biome has different types of water, soil, and climate.
