Terrestrial biomes are based on land, while aquatic biomes include both ocean and freshwater biomes. The eight major terrestrial biomes on Earth are each distinguished by characteristic temperatures and amount of precipitation. Comparing the annual totals of precipitation and fluctuations in precipitation from one biome to another provides clues as to the importance of abiotic factors in biome distribution.

Plants in the Arctic tundra are generally low to the ground and include low shrubs, grasses, lichens, and small flowering plants with small leaves. There is little species diversity, low net primary productivity, and low aboveground biomass. Permafrost makes it impossible for roots to penetrate far into the soil.

Additionally, thawing of permafrost can directly release greenhouse gases that are frozen into the soil, and increases the respiratory activity of soil organisms, increasing the release of CO2 in Arctic ecosystems.
