Species are groups of organisms that can potentially interbreed to produce fertile offspring.. Living things need a place to live and grow.. . Fish live in water.. Birds live in trees and fly through the air.. Plants grow where there is soil, water and sun.. Main Idea and Details. ENVIRONMENT. Explain how biomes are characterized. Describe how net primary production varies among biomes. Explain how organisms are adapted to the conditions of their biomes. Describe the criteria ecologist use to classify aquatic systems. - Jacques Ives Cousteau. 2.

What are transitional aquatic ecosystems and why are they important?. Getting started. With this GEO resource you will be learning about the location and biodiversity of . coral reefs. , their value to us and the environment and threats affecting global reefs today. We will also investigate the response to such threats in term of management.. Getting started. You’ll need a notepad on which to make notes as you go along, or you could make notes, paste images, etc. on your device..
