Plants vary in their ability to tolerate temperature differences and changes. Each plant has an optimum temperature for growth. Also have a low and high where growth ceases below or above.        Scientists have divided our world into different biomes, such as tundra, grasslands, deserts, rainforests, deciduous forests, and marine environments. A biome is a large geographical region with plants and animals that are able to live in that location with its particular climate because they have adapted in different ways to the amounts of water, heat, and soil in that area..
