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.


The correct term for an ecosystem on land is?

Oh honey, it's called a terrestrial ecosystem. Just think of it as the land version of a fancy aquarium, but with dirt instead of water. So next time you're out hiking, you can impress your friends by casually dropping the term "terrestrial ecosystem" into conversation.


What are the limiting factors that affect the biodiversity and productivity of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems?

Limiting factors that affect biodiversity and productivity in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems include availability of resources like food and water, habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and invasive species. These factors can disrupt the balance of ecosystems and reduce the variety of species that can thrive in them.
