Communities and biomes can be summarized in 3 sentences: Communities are groups of interacting species that occupy a common environment, while biomes are large regions defined by factors like climate and plant life. Key biomes include tropical rainforests, temperate forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, and various aquatic biomes. Within biomes, species succession and limiting resources shape the development of climax plant and animal communities over time.
