How does climate change affect the biodiversity of marine ecosystems?
Although throughout Earth's history the climate has always changed with ecosystems and species coming and going, rapid climate change affects ecosystems and species ability to adapt and so biodiversity loss increases. ... Loss of Arctic sea ice threatens biodiversity across an entire biome and beyond.
How are fresh water ecosystems and saltwater ecosystems the same?
they are both marine ecosystems
What variety of organisms within an ecosystem is characteristic of which type of diversity?
Biodiversity is the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part; this includes between species, and of ecosystems.
What 3 are the components of biodiversity?
The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro defined "biodiversity" as "the variability among living organisms from all sources, including, 'inter alia', terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part: this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems". This is, in fact, the closest thing to a single legally accepted definition of biodiversity, since it is the definition adopted by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. Biodiversity then, consitsts of the entire range of variation of living organisms across all levels of organizations (genes, species, ecosystems).
Why do marine ecosystems not support rich ecosystems and large numbers of fish?
Because they dont want to
