15
Q

Wetland (swamp, marsh, bog) Biota

A

baby fish, birds, insects; emergent plants and trees

16
Q

Wetland (swamp, marsh, bog) Productivity

A

Very high- filtration, flood/erosion prevention, nurseries

17
Q

Wetland (swamp, marsh, bog) Harmful Human Activity

A

Pollution, polluted runoff, invasive species, water drainage

18
Q

Open Ocean Salinity/Flow

A

35ppt/currents and gyres (variable)

19
Q

Open Ocean Biota

A

phytoplankton; large fish, mammals

20
Q

Open Ocean Depth Zone

A

Photic (ligt), aphotic (no light), benthic (seafloor)

21
Q

Open Ocean Productivity

A

Medium

22
Q

Open Ocean Harmful Human Activity

A

Habitat destruction, oil spills, noise and plastic pollution, overfishing

23
Q

Salt Marsh/ Estuary Salinity/Flow

A

Brackish water (between 0.5-35ppt)

24
Q

Salt Marsh/ Estuary Biota

A

Mangrove trees; seagrasses; <molluscs and crustaceans, baby fish and birds

25
Q

Salt Marsh/ Estuary Productivity

A

Very high- nurseries, filtration, erosion control

26
Q

Salt Marsh/ Estuary Harmful Human Activity

A

Pesticides, automobile fluids, oil/grease, metals like mercury/led, flooding

27
Q

Coral Reef Salinity/Flow

A

35ppt/ current and wave action

28
Q

Coral Reef Biota

A

High biodiversity in the ocean; 1 million species of inverts, fish, reptiles, and bids; corals have mutualistic relationship with zoozanthellae algae

29
Q

Coral Reef Depth Zone

A

Commonly in more oligotrophic waters (nutrient poor) because zooxanthellae are photosynthesing to produce food

30
Q

Coral Reef Productivity

A

Very high

31
Q

Coral Reef Harmful Human Activity

A

Destructive fishing, mining, aquarium market, warming climate, invasive species
