| This biome consists of tropical grassland with widely scattered low trees. In summer, surface waters of this biome heat and do not mix with lower, cooler waters. Epiphytes are common in this biome. Blood-sucking insects are common in this biome during the brief summer. Xerophytic vegetation is dominant in this biome. This biome is identified by its hydrology, hydric soils, and hydrophytic vegetation. This biome covers 70% of the Earth's surface. This biome occurs in southern California and along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This biome occurs where marine and freshwater habitats meet. This biome is dominated by coniferous or evergreen trees. In North America, the dominant grazer in this biome was the bison. Forests in this biome are dominated by evergreen trees and deciduous trees that drop their leaves in autumn.
