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:

My favorite classification of biomes is by using the WWF system. Type in "WWF biomes" in your search engine.
