What is the difference between kelp forest and forest on land?
Kelp forests are underwater ecosystems dominated by large, brown algae known as kelp, while forests on land are ecosystems dominated by trees, shrubs, and other terrestrial plant species.

Why would a grassland ecosystem have more primary consumers than in a forest ecosystem?
