How do biomes affect each other?

Answer 1

Biomes don't really affect each other - they usually just gradually grade into one another based on temperature and moisture conditions.

Biomes are broadly defined by temperature and moisture conditions and tend to change as you go away from the equator. There boundaries are not usually very sharp. See pic.

Biomes affect each other through various ecological interactions, including competition, predation, symbiosis, and nutrient cycling. For example, changes in one biome, such as deforestation in a tropical rainforest, can impact neighboring biomes by altering local climate patterns, soil erosion, and water availability. Additionally, the migration of species between biomes can introduce new organisms and disrupt existing ecological balances. Overall, interconnected ecosystems within and between biomes contribute to the dynamic and complex nature of Earth's biosphere.
