Biome Atlas covers the ecology of Earth's major biomes through rigorous, peer-reviewed science journalism. Our eight in-depth articles explore tropical rainforests, desert ecosystems, Arctic tundra, wetlands, global grasslands, Mediterranean shrublands, boreal forests, and island biogeography. Every article is written by Dr. Elif Yilmaz (PhD Biogeography, Middle East Technical University; Research Associate, Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre Frankfurt) and grounded in peer-reviewed research from IPCC, NASA Earth Observatory, WWF Global 200 Ecoregions, and the IUCN Red List. Understanding biomes is essential to understanding climate change, biodiversity loss, and the ecological future of our planet. Biome Atlas is free to read, ad-supported, and committed to accuracy and scientific rigour in every article.
