Humans live in a variety of biomes because human populations are spread across many types of environments globally. However, the most commonly described biome for human habitation, especially in temperate regions, is the temperate deciduous forest biome. This biome features moderate climate, distinct seasons, and diverse species, which historically supported the development of human societies. Biomes are large ecological areas characterized by specific climate conditions, plant life, and animal life. Some major biome types include tropical rainforests, deserts, savannas, woodlands, grasslands, tundra, and temperate forests. Most humans live in biomes such as:
- Temperate deciduous forests (common in Europe, parts of North America, and Asia)
- Tropical and subtropical biomes (rainforests and savannas)
- Grasslands and savannas
- Various urbanized regions that modified natural biomes.
Thus, depending on the region, humans live in several biomes, but the temperate deciduous forest is often highlighted as a principal biome that supports diverse human habitats due to its climate and resource availability.
