Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding what a biome is: a biome is a large community of plants and animals that occupies a distinct region defined by its climate and vegetation.
Consider the characteristics of each biome option provided: Temperate broadleaf forest, Savanna, Desert, Tropical forest, and Coniferous forest.
Research the geographical distribution and size of each biome. For example, Coniferous forests, also known as taiga or boreal forests, are found across North America, Europe, and Asia, covering vast areas.
Compare the size of each biome based on the information gathered. Coniferous forests are known to be the largest terrestrial biome due to their extensive coverage across multiple continents.
Conclude by identifying the largest terrestrial biome based on the comparison, which is the Coniferous forest, as it spans the largest area globally.
