Ecosystem vs biome: what is larger?

Ecosystems can be very small and also very large, but they are often connected in a larger areas, called biomes.

ℹ️ A biome is an area of the planet that can be classified according to the plants and animals that live in it. Temperature, soil, and the amount of light and water help determine what life exists in a biome.

According to broad classifications of scientists there are 6️⃣ biomes:
🔺forest
🔺grassland
🔺freshwater
🔺marine
🔺desert
🔺tundra.

Some scientists also use more precise classifications and list dozens of different biomes. For example, they consider different kinds of forests to be different biomes.

Biomes are strongly influenced by climate and latitude while ecosystems are not.

✅ Most researchers agree that a biome is a larger area than an ecosystem.

❗️But some scientists consider Earth as a whole ecosystem, and in this logic “ecosystem Earth” is of course larger than multiple large biomes of our planet!
