Biome is all of the life zones‚ all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well as the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its plant life‚ which is determined by its location. For example‚ northern coniferous forests exist in sub-arctic portions of North America and Asia‚ but further north‚ the conditions are simply too harsh and the season too brief for trees to grow. Instead of trees‚ the short vegetation of the tundra thrives in these areas. The same occurs

HARDWOOD Hardwood is wood from angiosperm trees (more strictly speaking non-monocot angiosperm trees). It may also be used for those trees themselves: these are usually broad-leaved; in temperate and boreal latitudes they are mostly deciduous‚ but in tropics and subtropics mostly evergreen. Hardwood contrasts with softwood (which is from Gymnosperm trees). Hardwoods are not necessarily harder than softwoods. In both groups there is an enormous variation in actual wood hardness‚ with the range in
