Robin, unfortunately my dominant/recessive theory doesn't seem to be panning out. Or their is not enough evidence yet. At least in the higher tiers.

I first observed this looking at Tier 0 fusions. It appears that Tundra is the dominant biome, followed by Forrest then Desert. All appear to be dominant over Air. Meaning, if you combine a Tundra with an Air, or a Desert, you will get a Tundra more often than not. If you combine a Forest with a Air or Desert, it will more often result in a Forest. The results reported for a Tundra/Forest combo are 50/50 right now, so I cannot determine which might be dominant over the other. It appears that the only biome Desert is dominant over is Air.

This theory fell apart when I began looking at the same pattern for Tier 1 and 2 fusions, where it seems that Air becomes the dominant biome. But as I said, this could be because the data is spread out over a larger "gene pool" so to speak. Lack of reported data in the higher tiers could be skewing the dominance pattern.

I'm thinking we may need to revisit this theory after about a month of gathered data. At that time, if I can find a pattern, we can use the Punnett Squares from high school biology class (remember those?) to determine a percentage outcome likely for most combinations
