Effects of climate change on biomes (Biomes 🌍)
Climate change is already now altering biomes, adversely affecting terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Climate change represents long-term changes in temperature and average weather patterns. This leads to a substantial increase in both the frequency and the intensity of extreme weather events. As a region's climate ...

Anthropogenic biome (Biomes 🌍)
Anthropogenic biomes, also known as anthromes, human biomes or intensive land-use biomes, describe the terrestrial biosphere in its contemporary, human-altered form using global ecosystem units defined by global patterns of sustained direct human interaction with ecosystems. Anthromes are generally composed of heterogeneous mosa...

Cowardin classification system (Biomes 🌍)
The Cowardin classification system is a system for classifying wetlands, devised by Lewis M. Cowardin et al. in 1979 for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The system includes five main types of wetlands: Marine wetlands, which are areas exposed to the open ocean Estuarine wetlands, partially enclosed by land and also exposed to a ...

Desert riparian (Biomes 🌍)
Desert riparian is a North American desert vegetation type occurring in the bottoms of valleys, canyons, and other watercourses that have water at or near the surface most of the year. The visual character is of large, lush, perennial green trees surrounded by dry desert vegetation and soil coloration. The area may be in a patch surrounding a spring such as an oasis, or in a stran...

Biome (Biomes 🌍)
A biome is a distinct geographical region with specific climate, vegetation, animal life, and an ecosystem. It consists of a biological community that has formed in response to its physical environment and regional climate. In 1935, Tansley added the climatic and soil aspects to the idea, calling it ecosystem. The International Biological Program projects popularized the concept of biome. However, in some contex...

Drylands (Biomes 🌍)
Drylands are defined by a scarcity of water. Drylands are zones where precipitation is balanced by evaporation from surfaces and by transpiration by plants. The United Nations Environment Program defines drylands as tropical and temperate areas with an aridity index of less than 0.65. Drylands can be classified into four sub-types: Dry sub-humid lands Semi-arid lands Arid lands Hyper-arid lands Some authorities re...

Temperate forest (Biomes 🌍)
A temperate forest is a forest found between the tropical and boreal regions, located in the temperate zone. It is the second largest terrestrial biome, covering 25% of the world's forest area, only behind the boreal forest, which covers about 33%. These forests cover both hemispheres at latitudes ranging from 25 to 50 degrees, wrapping the planet in a belt similar to t...

All those biome-specific papers I see that start out by claiming to be "the biggest" or "the most biodiverse" or "the most threatened" or some other thing of global importance, when we have yet to accurately define and map the #biomes on Earth, are getting beyond tedious.
That said, I have to add that #GrassyBiomes are grossly underappreciated compared to #Forests.

Nemoral (Biomes 🌍)
In general nemoral means "pertaining to groves or woodland". Its origin is related to the Latin word "nemus", meaning a grove of trees. It is especially used to label a type of biome, which is in the temperate zone of Eurasia and has broad-leaved forests. According to the Walter classification system, it has a moderate temperate climate with short frost periods and is characterized by frost-resistant deciduous forests.
