A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).

This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
