Biomes

A marine meadow where seagrasses, macroalgae, grazers, filter feeders, worms, crabs, and small invertebrates compete over light, nutrients, and detritus.

A sandy, limestone shoreline where beach grasses, crabs, snails, and detritivores move nutrients across the waterline.

A salt-influenced forest zone where mangrove roots, leaf litter, crabs, and terrestrial detritivores build the boundary between freshwater and marine sides.

A rain-fed meadow where grasses, soil organisms, herbivores, and detritivores turn plant growth into the system's upland nutrient flow.

A wet edge habitat where water, roots, glass, mud, and plant cover let aquatic and terrestrial organisms overlap.

A still freshwater habitat where submerged plants, suspended algae, microcrustaceans, shrimp, snails, and crayfish are reorganizing after fish removal.
