My favorite biome
I would have to say, that the most interesting biome i find is the rainforest! It has a large ecosystem supporting a biodiversity of plants and animals! Not only that, but many of these plants contain medicines that we could use. Also, the amount of rainfall in the forest is enourmous! About 68-78 inches of rain a year! What many people don't know, is that their are two types of rainforests. The tropical rainforest that we all think about, and the temperate rainforest. Tropical rainforests are said to be the Earths lungs, but its found that that tropical rainforests contribute little net oxygen to the atmosphere through photosynthesis. And despite the amount of rainfall, soil quality is quite poor! Yet the rainforests can sustain more then half of the worlds species of plants and animals! This is why i find that the rainforests are so interesting!
