If the rocky, sandy, or muddy intertidal zones represent such a challenging mix of environmental factors, why do so many organisms live there?
Every type of organism in the upper ocean contributes to both recycling of organic matter and sinking of organic matter. Briefly describe 2 interactions between organisms that result in both the recycling and sinking of organic matter.
a) Interaction 1:
- Brief description of how this interaction results in both the recycling of organic matter in the upper ocean and the sinking of organic matter:
b) Interaction 2:
- Brief description of how this interaction results in both the recycling of organic matter in the upper ocean and the sinking of organic matter:.
