The
oceans on Populus are literally abounding with life. The plants and
animals that live in these oceans have been interacting and evolving for
millions of years. Over this time, complex relationships have formed
between the plants and animals. In this section, we will give an
overview of the interactions going on in four different environments.
To view any of the individual environments, just click on the title. Shallow Tropical Oceans: This is a shallow, warm water environment that occurs along the continental shelves. One enormous area of shallow tropical water lies between the continents of Durin and Gloen. Tropical Estuaries: This environment occurs at the mouths of rivers where fresh water intermingles with the salt water of the oceans. We will focus on the estuaries which lie in the tropical regions of Populus. Rocky Tropical Shores: This is another warm water environment, but organisms here have adapted to deal with the changing of the tides and the impact of waves on the rocky shore. Rocky Polar Shores: This is one of the most rugged aquatic environments on Populus. The organisms here have adapted to very cold and tumultuous waters. |
