The rocky intertidal zone of the Rhode Island coast is one of the topics considered in the next video in the Living World series.
In addition to terrestrial biomes, aquatic biomes are also
recognized. Those examined in the next
video in the Living World lecture series of Arts and Academic Publishing
include estuaries and their vegetated wetlands, including salt marshes and
mangrove swamps. Wildlife of estuarine
wetlands are distinctive, and include species like the Seaside and Sharp-tailed
sparrows. Adaptations of these species
for the stressful physical conditions of the estuary are considered.
Marine ecosystems are explored next, and investigate the habitats
that make them up. These include the
intertidal realm, benthic environments and pelagic environments. These environments are further subdivided
into zones, and the characteristics of each are considered. All these topics related to the National AP Environmental Science curriculum.
