Biomes of the World Biomes are areas of land or water that share the same climate. Earth has several major biomes. Deserts receive little rain and have extreme temperatures. Forests receive more rain and have moderate temperatures. The trees in a deciduous forest lose their leaves every autumn. The trees in the taiga are mostly evergreens, many of which have needle-like leaves. Grasslands cover the most area of land on Earth. Rain is usually seasonal, so there is a dry season during which dust storms may be created. The tundra is located at very high elevations and near the North and South Pole. Few plants grow in the tundra, and the ground is permanently frozen. There are two types of aquatic biomes: marine and freshwater. Marine biomes cove about three-fourths of Earth’s surface and include all the world’s oceans. Freshwater biomes are bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and ponds.
