There are seven main land biomes.
Everyone alive on the planet today lives in one massive biome: Earth, especially when viewed from space.
A biome basically represents an ecological community categorized by its physical characteristics: soil, climate, and the life it supports. While Earth can be considered as one biome, it's normally subdivided into additional biomes.
Scientists separate biomes into two distinct classifications: aquatic and terrestrial. The largest biome on Earth is the aquatic one, as water covers 75 percent of the globe. Further scientific cataloguing leads to multiple eco-regions across the globe.
