This dimension links an ecosystem to the broader biome type it belongs to. Wikipedia describes a coral reef as "an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals," sometimes called "rainforests of the sea" for how much life it supports in so little space. Browsing by biome type groups ecosystems that share the same broad physical setting.
