Ecotones No. 3 Painting

ECOTONES Everything in the natural world is connected. An ecosystem is the interaction of a community of living organisms and the physical environment in which they live, to become a functional unit. Biomes (aquatic, forest, desert) are comprised of ecosystems and have a distinct climate with living organisms adapted to that particular environment. The earth is the compilation of all of these biomes. “Ecotones” series tries to give a brief look inside the stunning color palette of some of the world’s biomes and ecosystems. OCEAN Oceans cover nearly three-fourths of the earth’s surface and seem almost to belong to another planet. Despite decades of exploration, less than a tenth of the deep ocean realm has been explored, despite it being the largest habitat for life on Earth.
