Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Each biome has a unique set of environmental conditions and plants and animals that have adapted to those conditions. The major land biomes have names like tropical rainforest, grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga (also called coniferous or boreal forest), and tundra.

Explanation:

A biome is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and nonliving things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example, an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.

Why is primary production and animal life concentrated at the surface in pelagic regions of the open-ocean?
konstantin123 [22]
Photosynthesising primary producers require sunlight. Therefore, in the ocean, phytoplankton would be concentrated within the surface layers of the ocean where the sunlight penetrates. Phytoplankton support a wide range of marine life: zooplankton feed on phytoplankton, which in turn support fish and so on.
