IB ESS 2.4.2 Biome definition
Practise naming biomes from maps and figures, distinguishing biome from ecosystem, and linking climate controls to distribution and productivity.
How this is tested
- identify named biomes from figures, avoiding vague labels
- distinguish a biome from an ecosystem using scale, communities and climate context
- explain how precipitation, temperature or insolation shape a named biome's distribution
