Aquatic biomes are very important because apart from being home to millions of water animals, they also form the basis
of the water cycle and help with atmospheric moisture, cloud formation and precipitation.
of the water cycle and help with atmospheric moisture, cloud formation and precipitation.
Life forms in these waters depend on the abiotic factors such as sunlight entering the waters, temperature, pressure, salt content and so on. Water biomes with lots of light tend to have more flora (plant) diversity, and the growth of algae and plankton is more. Small water bodies
that freeze during the cold seasons, or dry out in the dry and hot seasons tend to have less diversity.
