Biome vs Ecosystem:
biome is an area of the planet that can be classified according to the plants and animals that live in it. Temperaturesoil, and the amount of light and water help determine what life exists in a biome. 

A biome is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and nonliving things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example, an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.
