How does an anthrome differ from a biome?

Solution

Verified

The term anthrome, which is also known as human-altered biomes, refers to the ecological patterns and direct interaction that exists between humans and ecosystems, such as agriculture, industrialization, and forestry. Examples of anthromes include cities, villages, rangelands, and croplands.

On the other hand, the term biome refers to the natural habitat of many plant and animals species that is located in a region with a distinct climate, vegetation, and soil condition. Examples of biomes include tundra, desert, tropical rainforest, grassland, and temperate forests.
