Terrestrial biomes are land-based biomes of differing climates that are known for predominant vegetation and wildlife. Some examples are grasslands, savannah, tundra, and temperate deciduous forests.

they are not considered because they do not have all the earth like features
The terrestrial biome that covers the most land area is the taiga. It covers most of Canada and Russia, the world's two largest countries.
The names of the major biomes are desert, tundra, tropical rain forest, deciduous forest, taiga, grassland, marine,freshwater, coniferous forest and saltwater There are other biomes too such as: temperate rainforest (a rainforest that is outside of tropical latitudes) savannah (hot, dry grassland) prairie (a temperate grassland) For more on sub-biomes and biome information go to: http://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/terrestrial-biomes-13236757 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vegetation-no-legend.PNG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ocean_drainage.png My favorite classification of biomes is by using the WWF system. Type in "WWF biomes" in your search engine. also wikipedia has great info on biomes and so does http://worldwildlife.org/biomes

Terrestrial for land biomes and aquatic for water biomes
Their medium water is a major natural resource
Some of the problems of life in terrestrial biomes include competition for limited resources like food and water, exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures or droughts, and predation by other organisms. Additionally, human activities like deforestation and urbanization can disrupt and fragment habitats, further impacting the survival of species in terrestrial biomes.
Usually caves or to be more specific terrestrial biomes.
Biomes are communities classified according to predominant vegetation and distinguished by their adaptation to organisms in a specific environment. The two main classifications of Biomes are: Terrestrial biomes (land) and Aquatic biomes (water).

See links below for a map of Earth's terrestrial biomes.
Terrestrial biomes are usually distinguished on the basis of the major components of their mature or climax vegetation, while aquatic biomes, especially marine ones, are often characterized by their dominant animals.
Mountain tops and deserts have low biodiversity, especially in Antarctica.
