Question

PLEASE BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE. THE PRECISE DETAILS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IN THIS QUESTION. IT IS A 10 POINT QUESTION THAT I AM REALLY STUCK ON.

PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES

Describe and explain (think mechanisms here – why not other locations?) the general distribution across depth and latitude of coral reefs, seagrass meadows, kelp forests, and salt marshes in the world oceans. How might climate change impact these distributions?

Answer 1

Coral reefs contains biodiversity of variety of animals including fish, sea binds, sponges, worms, crustaceans, cleaner shrimp, spiny lobsters, mollusks, sea turtles, sea snakes, etc., Species of fishes of around 4000 were found. Sponges growing in reefs maintains the ecosystem in seas by converting the organic materials released by algae and corals. Sea grass meadow is characterised by flowering plants in marine environment. Flowering plants families including Posidoniaecae, Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae and Cymodoceae were found predominantly. Kelp forests are the most dynamic ecosystem of earth, which forms the sense of kelp under the water. Rockfish and invertebrates such as amphipods, shrimp, marine snails, bristle worms and stars. Salt marshes are otherwise called costal salt marsh or tidal marsh, is the upper costal intertidal zone. Salt marshes areas has complex food web include producers and consumers.
