• Biodiversity is believed to be the highest in the terrestrial ecosystem and. However the number is decreasing a lot
due to deforestation which is an important factor to survive for photosynthesis. High diversity is an indicator to
high human health. Unfortunately, our aquatic biodiversity is under threat from a wide range of environmental
factors including increasing population and movements, a changing climate, coastal developments, and aquatic
pests.
• Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on Earth, including humans. Without a wide range of
animals, plants and microorganisms, we cannot have healthy ecosystems. For example, if the number of
deforestation is increasing in the terrestrial ecosystems, it means there’ll be disruptions in photosynthesis which is
a prime factor in human oxygen receiving and food production through plants. It also contributes to global
warming.
In both ecosystems:
1. Plants : mangroves
2. Animals : Ducks, frogs & crabs
Elephants are terrestrial because they only live in land and can't survive in water.
