The most significant abiotic element influencing the spread of terrestrial biomes is climate. The temperature on the Earth's surface generally decreases from the equator to the poles. Precipitation and evaporation both influence the moisture content of a biome.

Plant production (primary productivity) and the amount of organic matter available as food are both influenced by temperature and moisture (net primary productivity).

Thus, option 2 is correct option.
