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 the distribution of biomes

Net productivity indicates energy stored post-respiration, showing variances among ecosystems such as tropical rainforests at 15,000 kcal/m²/year. Humans utilize about 20% of this net productivity for resources, and activities like urban development and deforestation diminish global productivity.
