What is a biome?

So many people do not understand what the word Biome means... This is understandable as it's not a word we use in everyday language. So to clear up any confusion, we decided to provide our own definition…

A biome is a ‘natural habitat’ (pronounced ‘by-ohm’). As Biome Lifestyle provides natural products for the home – the name Biome Lifestyle was created. Major biomes include deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra, and several types of aquatic environments. In fact, the world itself is one large biome. Each biome consists of many ecosystems whose communities have adapted to the small difference in climate and the environment inside the biome. All living things are closely related to their environment. Any change in one part of an environment, like an increase or decrease of a species of animals, plants or changes in the weather and atmosphere causes a ripple effect of change through other parts of the environment. Biome Lifestyle provides natural and eco home products which aim to be sensitive to the environment - from the environment they were made in to the environment or world as a whole.
