Swamps and marshes:
Streams:
MARINE
Describe abiotic conditions:
Describe productivity:
ESTUARIES
Describe:
Primary abiotic challenge:
Describe productivity:

Answer 1

Bogs:

• Abiotic conditions: acidic and nutrient-poor soil
• Productivity: low due to nutrient-poor soil

Swamps and marshes:

• Abiotic conditions: standing water and saturated soil
• Productivity: high due to nutrient-rich soil

Streams:

• Abiotic conditions: flowing water, influenced by nutrients and sunlight
• Productivity: varies based on nutrient and sunlight availability

Marine:

• Abiotic conditions: saltwater, influenced by nutrient availability, water temperature, and light penetration
• Productivity: varies based on nutrient and light availability

Estuaries:

• Abiotic conditions: transitional areas where freshwater meets saltwater, fluctuating salinity levels, varying water temperatures
• Primary abiotic challenge: variable salinity levels
• Productivity: high due to nutrient-rich water from upstream sources
