TERRESTRIAL BIOME Introduction Many places on Earth share similar climatic conditions despite being found in geographically different areas. As a result of natural selection‚ comparable ecosystems have developed in these separated areas. Scientists call these major ecosystem types biomes. The geographical distribution (and productivity) of the various biomes is controlled primarily by the climatic variables precipitation and temperature. The maps in Figures 1 and 2 describe the geographical locations
