Introduction
There are seven different types of biomes on Earth. These biome include the desert, tropical forest, deciduous forest, grassland, Savanna, Taiga, and Tundra. Each biome is very different from each other and very different plants inhabit them.

Desert
• The types of plants that are able to live in the desert have two distinct features. The first is to have a great ability to store water. The second is that they are able to reduce water loss. The desert biome is home to the Barrel Cactus, Saguaro Cactus, Prickly Pair Cactus, sagebrush, and many more type of succulents.

Tropical Forest
• The trees of the tropical rainforest have thin and smooth bark. Trees also have large, waxy canopy leaves. These characteristics are largely due to the tropical rainforest being a very moist environment. Some tropical rainforest plants grow on trees to get sunlight. These are called epiphytes. Some tropical plants form a central tank that collects water. These plants are called bromeliads. Some tropical forest plants are pineapples, Bengal Bamboo, Orchids and Bougainvillea.

Grassland
• The grassland is a large grassy terrain of flowers and herbs. Precipitation is only large sparse and only enough to produce grass, grass like plants, and a few trees. The soil is too thin to support large trees. In the winter, it can be -40 degrees Fahrenheit, and in summer up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, grasslands only have two real seasons, the dormant and the growing seasons. Buffalo grass, sunflower, asters, and goldenrods are some of the plants that live in grasslands.

Overview
There are seven different biomes in the world. Desert, Deciduous Forest, Tropical Forest, Savanna, Grassland, Tundra, and Taiga. Each biome is very unique and has it’s own characteristics. Different types of plants make up each biome. The plants living in each biome are specifically adapted to the particular environment of the biome it habitats.
