Certainly! Here are the ten terrestrial biomes and three aquatic biomes:
### Terrestrial Biomes
1. **Tropical Rainforest** - Extremely warm and humid, with high biodiversity and heavy rainfall year-round.
2. **Savanna** - Grassland with scattered trees, characterized by a warm climate and seasonal rainfall.
3. **Desert** - Very low precipitation, extreme temperatures, and sparse vegetation.
4. **Temperate Forest** - Areas with distinct seasons and a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees.
5. **Temperate Grassland** - Dominated by grasses, with few trees, and moderate rainfall.
6. **Taiga (Boreal Forest)** - Cold, with coniferous trees and long winters; found in northern latitudes.
7. **Tundra** - Cold, treeless regions with permafrost, short growing seasons, and low biodiversity.
8. **Chaparral** - Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters; characterized by shrubs and small trees.
9. **Mediterranean Forest** - Similar to chaparral, with seasonal rainfall and a mix of shrubs, grasses, and occasional trees.
10. **Montane** - Mountainous areas with varying climates and vegetation, often with distinct altitudinal zones.
### Aquatic Biomes
1. **Freshwater** - Includes rivers, lakes, streams, and wetlands; characterized by low salt concentration.
2. **Marine** - Oceanic waters that cover a large part of the Earth’s surface, includes open oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries.
3. **Brackish** - Areas where freshwater and saltwater mix, typically found in estuaries and mangrove swamps.
These biomes each support diverse ecosystems and are critical to the planet's biodiversity.
