Iceberg: The formation of icebergs increases salinity because it is taking liquid water out of the ocean without taking the salt.
Sea Ice: Same as icebergs, this increases salinity because it removes liquid water.
Runoff: This decreases salinity because it is introducing fresh water into the ocean, reducing the salt to water ratio.
Evaporation: This would increase salinity because it is removing liquid water from the ocean, increasing the salt to water ratio.
Hope this helps!
Both biome and <span>ecoregion </span>are ecological terms. Biome refers to a major regional group of plant and animal communities adapted to the natural environment. Biome can be of two types: terrestrial(land) andaquatic(water). <span>Ecoregion, </span>which is an abbreviated form of ''ecological region', refers to a smaller class. Each <span>biome </span>consists of severalecoregions, an ecoregion(also called bioregion) covering a realm of land/water having geographically distinctive communities, sharing the same envoronmental conditions and ecological dynamics.
Yes, an ecoregion does consist of different ecologically distinctive communities and species.
After mining, to reclaim the land, the depression is filled with rocks then the top is filled with loosely graded soil. Introduction of early succession plants is important before big trees can grow. The early succession plants help in the breaking down of the rocks into soil hence making the topsoil deeper to support trees.
