What's biomes? Biomes are defined as: "the world's major communities, classified according to the predominant vegetation(植被) and characterized by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment"(Campbell 1996) 4
4 What’s biomes? • Biomes are defined as ： “the world‘s major communities, classified according to the predominant vegetation（植被） and characterized by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment" (Campbell 1996)
Distribution characteristics of biomes 群落分布规律 Climates (especially the average temperature and precipitation)determine the biomes 温度和降水（水热结合）决定生物群落类型 Latitude,Longitude,and Elevation intensively affect the regional climates,thus,they are basic geographic elements that determine the zonal distribution of the biomes-一“Latitude zonality"”, “Longitude zonality",and“Vertical zonality” 纬度，经度和海拨是决定群落地带性分布的地理要素（纬度地 带性，经度地带性，垂直地带性-“三向地带性”) 5
