- 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.

Is the tundra a aquatic or a terrestrial?
The tundra is a terrestrial biome characterized by its cold climate, low vegetation, and permafrost. It is primarily found in polar regions and high mountain areas, where temperatures are low and precipitation is minimal. While it may have some aquatic features, such as small ponds and streams, the tundra itself is not classified as an aquatic biome.

Aquatic Biome
What characteristics make an estuary such a productive ecosystem?
Well, When water drains from a terrestrial biome into an aquatic biome, it carries with it dissolved nutrients. This stimulates diversity and abundance of organisms in the aquatic life. Question: Estuaries are highly productive because Answer: they receive nutrients delivered by rivers and stirred up by tide action.
