This textbook overview explores biomes as large geographical regions characterized by distinct ecosystems, defined by plant types, animal species, average temperatures, and precipitation levels. Canada hosts five unique biomes, each with specific characteristics. The study of plant tropisms—including phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism—highlights how plants adapt to their environments. A summary of the five Canadian biomes and their locations, along with question exercises from specified pages, will enhance understanding of plant adaptations and ecosystem diversity.
