Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biomes are major ecosystems that are determined by climatic regions (e.g. desert, tundra, tropical rainforest) and are classified largely based on predominant vegetation. Associational classifications are typically used to describe smaller-scale communities of plants and animals within biomes. Zoogeographic regions are based on the distribution of animal species rather than vegetation. Climate zones refer to geographic areas with similar climate patterns, but do not necessarily correspond to specific ecosystems or biomes.
