A biome is characterized by an extensive collection of flora and fauna inhabiting a major habitat. It is a huge terrestrial environment with flora, climate, soil, temperature, and wildlife that define it.

The biotic and abiotic factors are found in different parts of the biosphere. Biotic factors include living organisms, and abiotic factors include non-living factors such as light, soil, temperature, water, and nutrients.

Abiotic factors limit population growth and influence the ability of organisms for survival and reproduction. Biotic factors affect the whole ecosystem, and the community of biotic organisms interacts with non-living features in the environment.

Biotic factors depend on abiotic factors to surviveas plants need specific temperatures, soil, and moisture to grow, and animals require plants for their food. Thus, both biotic and abiotic factors affect the abundance and distribution of life on Earth.

Climate patterns vary by place, affecting the biotic and abiotic factors surrounding humans and the natural environment. It generates a unique ecosystem that changes according to the local environment from its original condition affecting the biome's usual traits to be reflected.
