Since climate determines the type of vegetation that grows in an area, vegetation is used as an indicator of climate type. A climate type and its plants and animals make up a biome. The organisms of a biome share certain characteristics around the world, because their environment has similar advantages and challenges.

Mosses have several characteristics that distinguish them from other bryophytes. Only mosses have a multicellular rhizoid, a root-like subterranean tissue that absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. Liverworts and hornworts have single celled rhizoids.

Three major terrestrial ecosystems are rainforests, deciduous forests, and grasslands. Each of these ecosystems has specific characteristics that can be used to identify them. The climate of a rainforest is usually hot and wet. Heavy rainfall (around 150 cm per year) and year-round warm temperatures make it very humid.

Temperate grasslands are semi-arid or semi-humid regions. Temperate grasslands are mostly plain areas that are located on every continent except Antarctica. Pampas, Downs, Prairies, Veldts, etc are temperate grasslands.

The physical characteristics of an environment that affect ecosystem diversity are themselves quite complex (as previously noted for community diversity). These characteristics include, for example, the temperature, precipitation, and topography of the ecosystem.

According to the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, there are only three characteristics unique to mammals. The three characteristics are mammary glands, hair and three middle ear bones. Other characteristics often thought to be unique to mammals are found in other species including birds, insects and reptiles.

Physical Characteristics. Land has three physical characteristics: Immobility, Indestructibility, and Uniqueness. Immobility. Although some of the substances of land are removable and topography can be changed, the geographic location of any given parcel of land can never be changed. Its location is fixed — immobile.

The four ma- jor abiotic components are: climate, parent material and soil, topography, and natural disturbances. Climate includes the rainfall, temperature and wind patterns that occur in an area, and is the most import- ant abiotic component of a grassland ecosystem.
