What is the difference between a Biome, Habitat & Ecosystem? Biomes are ecosystems where several habitats intersect. The Earth itself is one large biome. Smaller biomes include desert, tundra, grasslands, and rainforest. Habitats are specific to a population. Each population has its own habitat. For example, a population of ants has its own habitat. Ecosystems can be as small as a puddle or as large as the Earth itself. Any group of living and nonliving things interacting with each other can be considered as an ecosystem.
