What are the similarities and differences between terrestrial biome and the aquatic life zone?
in both terrestrial and aquatic environments the ecosystems include communities made up of a variety of species, within both terrestrial and aquatic communities there are populations at the different trophic levels, a great deal of mutual interdependence exists between species in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, in undisturbed terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems equilibrium is reached, i.e. very few major changes are observed over a period of time, in both ecosystems stratification (vertical zonation) occurs. because aquatic environments are so rich in nutrients they support more live than equivalent terrestrial ecosystems. The small drifting photosynthetic organisms of the oceans, referred to collectively as phytoplankton are regarded as the major photosynthesizers, or primary producers, of the earth, aquatic environments are much more stable than terrestrial environments, with smaller fluctuations in temperature and other variables, aquatic organisms are seldom exposed to de
