Climate Change Response Framework.        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.. – .
