Which term describes a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat such as forest or tundra?

• A. Aquatic ecosystem
• B. Postemergence herbicide
• C. Nonselective herbicide
• D. Biomes

Answer: (D)

Biomes describe Earth's major habitat types, defined by climate and geography, and the plant and animal communities they support. A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna adapted to the environment of a broad region, such as a forest or tundra. This makes it the best fit for describing a large natural community occupying a major habitat. In contrast, an aquatic ecosystem refers to living communities in water and is not the broad land-based habitat category. The other terms are specific agricultural chemicals and don’t describe habitats or living communities.
