biome

The visitor attraction and environmental charity's huge bubble-like domes, called biomes, were built to recreate some of the Earth's different climates, as well house thousands of different plant species and some animals.

“Native trees also support local wildlife, specifically ones endemic to our geographical biome. Pollinators, nesting birds, migratory birds and other species rely on them.”

“Each biome reveals something new, each path hints at what’s ahead without giving it away.”

They were able to draw inferences about the global climate on land, about productivity of different regions, and about characteristics of the various biomes of the Miocene compared to today.

There is some disagreement in the scientific community over the question of how climate change will affect plant health and groundwater availability across a variety of biomes, with competing models and approaches providing different answers.
