What is the difference between terrestrial biome and aquatic biome?

Differences between Terrestrial and Aquatic systemsbecause 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.

Usually caves or to be more specific terrestrial biomes.


What fertilization is most common among terrestrial animals?

Yes, internal fertilization is a reproductive strategy used by virtually all terrestrial animals. In aquatic environments, external fertilization is much more common.


Why breathing rate of aquatic organisms is faster than the terrestrial animals?

The breathing rate of aquatic animals is faster than that of terrestrial animals because the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water in much less than the amount outside, so they have to breathe more in order to get more oxygen

What is physical landscapes of ocean biomes?

Biomes can be defined as the major communities of the world, classified according to their predominant vegetation and characterised by adaptations of organisms to that particular environment.Ecosystems are communities of organisms that inhabit specific physical environments. Biomes are composed of several ecosystems and represent a regional community of organisms named after the dominant vegetation.The four major types of biomes are aquatic, grasslands, forests, and desert. Aquatic biomes are probably the most important of all the biomes. Their medium, water, is a major natural resource. Aquatic biomes can be subdivided into freshwater, seawater and atmospheric biomes. Grasslands can be subdivided into savanna, temperate grasslands (prairie) and tundra. This classification corresponds to decreasing average temperatures. Forests receive more precipitation than other biomes and vary from boreal, to temperate, to rainforest. This classification corresponds to increasing temperatures. Deserts have the fewest species and the most extreme climate.


What are the characteristics of terrestrial environment?

There are many characteristics of terrestrial environment. The characteristics include expansive temperature fluctuations, less atmosphere, and more aquatic life.


When comparing population sizes of similar sized species why are aquatic species more abundant than terrestrial?

There are two reasons why aquatic species can be more abundant than terrestrial species. First of all, the majority of the surface of the Earth is covered in water. There is more water than dry land. Secondly, aquatic species don't just live on the surface of the water, they have the volume of the water to live in, while terrestrial species mostly live on the surface (even though there is a certain amount of burrowing). So the aquatic species have a larger habitat to inhabit. Of course, now that human beings have gotten really good at fishing, and at pollution, things are not going as well for aquatic species as they used to.


What is a terrestrial ecosystem or large naturally occurring community - such as a forest - characterized by a diverse range of flora and fauna?

This is known as a biome. To see a map of the various biomes of the world, and to read loads more about biomes, see Answers.com via the Related Link.
