What is the difference between terrestrial biome and aquatic biome?

Answer 1

Differences between Terrestrial and Aquatic systems

• 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 desiccationwhile terrestrial organisms are often exposed to desiccation and are usually relatively resistant to drying out,
• oxygen (because there is very much less present) is sometimes a limiting factor an aquatic habitats but this is seldom the case in terrestrial habitats,
• light can be a limiting factor in some aquatic habitats, but in most terrestrial environments there is hardly ever a a shortage of light,
• terrestrial animals are influenced far more by gravity, while water supports aquatic organisms.

Answer 2

The difference between aquatic and terrestrial habitats is that the former means that an animal lives in water, while the latter means that an animal lives on land. For example, a bear's natural habitat is terrestrial while a fishes natural habitat is aquatic.

Answer 3

There is quite a lot water everywhere in aquatic biome (oceans).. Terrestrial are ground biomes

Answer 4

A terrestrial habitat is a habitat on land. An oceanic habitat is a habitat under water

Answer 5

It it one is in water and one is on land.
