In saltwater bodies, organic material breaks down and forms a marine snow. This example of detritus commonly consists of organic materials such as dead phytoplankton and zooplankton, the outer walls of diatoms and coccolithophores, dead skin and scales of fish, and fecal pellets. This material will slowly sink to the seafloor, where it makes up ...
Seagrass die-offs create a positive feedback loop in which the mortality events cause more death as higher oxygen demands are created when dead plant material decomposes. [76] Because hypoxia increases the invasion of sulfides in seagrass, this negatively affects seagrass through photosynthesis, metabolism and growth. Generally, seagrass is ...
About 0.085% of the 300,000 Angiosperms believed to exist can be found in marine like environments. [1] Some examples of what plants in this kingdom exist are mosses, ferns, seagrasses, mangroves, and salt marsh plants—the last three being the three major communities of angiosperms in marine waters.
Marine life, sea life or ocean life is the collective ecological communities that encompass all aquatic animals, plants, algae, fungi, protists, single-celled microorganisms and associated viruses living in the saline water of marine habitats, either the sea water of marginal seas and oceans, or the brackish water of coastal wetlands, lagoons ...
Lake Assal is the most saline body of water on earth after Don Juan Pond with 34.8% average salt concentration [10] (up to 40% at 20 m (66 ft) depth); higher than the 33.7% level in the Dead Sea. [ 10 ] [ 16 ] The dissolved salts include NaCl, KCl, MgCl 2 , CaCl 2 , CaSO 4 and MgBr 2 , with NaCl dominating in Lake Assal and MgCl 2 in the Dead Sea.

Codium fragile, known commonly as green sea fingers, dead man's fingers, felty fingers, [1] forked felt-alga, stag seaweed, [2] sponge seaweed, [3] green sponge, [4] green fleece, [5] sea staghorn, [6] and oyster thief, [7] is a species of seaweed in the family Codiaceae.
The ability to track vegetation change through time and space to make predictions about vegetation change are some of the many possibilities of GIS. Accurate maps of the aquatic plant distribution within an aquatic ecosystem are an essential part resource management. It is possible to predict the possible occurrences of aquatic vegetation.
