Latitudinal zonation refers to the distinct ecological and climatic patterns observed as one moves along different latitudes on Earth. This concept highlights how temperature, precipitation, and biodiversity vary from the equator to the poles, resulting in diverse biomes such as tropical rainforests, temperate forests, and tundras. Each zone supports unique flora and fauna adapted to the specific environmental conditions found there, influencing ecosystems and human activities.
Zonation occurs in the intertidal zone of oceans, where different ecological communities are organized according to their tolerance to factors like exposure to air, wave action, and salinity. This area is divided into distinct layers, including the supratidal, intertidal, and subtidal zones, each supporting specific plant and animal species adapted to their unique environmental conditions. Zonation also occurs in deeper ocean zones, such as the neritic and abyssal zones, where variations in light, pressure, and temperature create diverse habitats.
Descending from terrestrial plants, seagrasses have evolved adaptations to survive in marine environments. The adaptation to saltwater is most important since most land plants cannot tolerate even small amounts of salt. This salinity tolerance differs among species of seagrasses, resulting in zonation patterns. In response to high wave energy environments, seagrasses evolved well-developed horizontal stems, referred to as rhizomes. Blades grow directly from the rhizome or from branches originating at the rhizome. Roots extending from the rhizome also assist in anchoring and taking up dissolved nutrients. The ribbon-shaped grass blades are flexible, bending with any water movement. Air spaces extending through the blades, rhizomes, and roots provide flotation and reparations mechanisms.
A zonation is an arrangement of items into zones.
Zonation occurs in the ocean zone called the intertidal. Zonation is the distribution of organisms in biogeographic zones. It is also the arrangement or formation in zones.

The prominent horizontal banding of organisms that live in a particular habitat is called a "zonation" or "zonation pattern". This refers to the distinct zones or bands of organisms that are defined by their specific adaptations to the various environmental conditions within that habitat.
