Taiga 
The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle.
The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south.Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas.
In Russia, the world’s largest taiga stretches about 5,800 kilometers (3,600 miles), from the Pacific Ocean to the Ural Mountains.
Temperate forest
A temperate forest is a forest found between the tropical and boreal regions, located in the temperate zone
It is the second largest biome on our planet, covering 25% of the world's forest area, only behind the boreal forest, which covers about 33%
Winter in the temperate latitudes can present extremely stressful conditions that greatly affect the vegetation. The days are shorter and temperatures are low, so much so that in many places leaves are unable to function for long periods and are susceptible to damage from freezing.
Desert
Deserts cover more than one-fifth of the Earth's land area, and they are found on every continent.
A place that receives less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain per year is considered a desert. Deserts are part of a wider class of regions called drylands.
Deserts are areas that receive very little precipitation. People often use the adjectives “hot,” “dry,” and “empty” to describe deserts, but these words do not tell the whole story.
Savanna
vegetation type that grows under hot, seasonally dry climatic conditions and is characterized by an open tree canopy (i.e., scattered trees).
above a continuous tall grass understory (the vegetation layer between the forest canopy and the ground).
They are areas covered by a nearly continuous grassy layer, interspersed with trees and shrubs of varying densities and heights, but their nature and distribution is affected by the local topography and is closely allied with continental evolution.
Rainforest
Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just six percent of Earth’s surface.
This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna; a 10-square-kilometer (four-square-mile) patch can contain as many as 1,500 flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 400 species of birds and 150 species of butterflies.
