What is an ecosystem?
-
A community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and soil), interacting as a system.
-
A group of organisms of the same species that live in the same area.
-
A physical environment in which a community of living organisms normally lives.
-
A group of organisms of different species that live in the same area.

How do climate, soil, and topography affect the distribution of biomes?
-
Climate determines the temperature and precipitation of a region, which in turn affects the types of plants and animals that can live there. Soil determines the nutrients that are available to plants, which in turn affects the types of plants that can grow there. Topography determines the elevation and slope of a region, which in turn affects the climate and the types of plants and animals that can live there.
