The BiomeForge cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. Canopy Forest biomes (temperate, tropical, taiga)
  2. Dune Desert biomes (hot, cold, semi-arid)
  3. Reef Aquatic biomes (coral reef, freshwater, marine)
  4. Ridge Mountain / alpine / vertical-zonation biomes
  5. Flux Climate-biome mapping (where biomes shift with climate)
  6. Burrow Ecosystem engineers — some animals build homes for a hundred others; dig, and the neighborhood moves in
  7. Graze Keystone herbivores + grasslands — a grassland needs its grazers; eat, move on, keep the prairie alive
  8. Kelp Keystone species + trophic cascades — one keystone holds up a whole forest; pull it and everything topples
  9. Marsh Decomposition + nutrient cycling — nothing is wasted; the dead feed the living, the water remembers
  10. Silt Sediment + ecological succession — new land is built one grain at a time; life moves in the moment it's ready
