Scientists sort things into categories, they have different ways of doing so. With biomes, scientists have different ways of categorizing them. As a result, you may see different numbers of biomes given and even different names. To make it even more confusing, biomes are often given local names.

Why are scientific names used to describe organisms rather than common names?
Common names might not be as common as you think. Organisms can be known by several different common names, depending on when and where you are. Inversely, several different plants may be referred to with the same common name, depending on their similarities. Scientific names never change, and no two differing organisms have the same scientific name. This allows for a better understanding and grouping of organisms within the scientific community.
