The document describes several biomes: tundra, taiga/boreal forest, temperate forest, desert, grassland, and tropical rainforest. It provides details on the characteristic climate, vegetation, and locations of each biome. The tundra is the coldest biome with very low trees due to the short growing season and permafrost. The taiga/boreal forest is the largest terrestrial biome dominated by coniferous trees. Temperate forests are seasonal and colorful with deciduous trees. Deserts are the hottest and driest biome. Grasslands are dominated by grasses. The tropical rainforest is the most diverse and humid biome located along the equator.
