Across
  1. 2. the region of shallow water above the continental shelf where light penetrates to the sea floor
  2. 4. the benefits that nature provides in terms of material goods or resources that are directly consumed or used by humans
  3. 9. the contribution of multiple ecosystem processes to ecosystem functioning
  4. 12. maintaining and protecting ecosystems, species, and natural resources from degradation and destruction
  5. 14. also known as the twilight zone, lies between the photic epipelagic and the aphotic bathypelagic zones in the ocean.
  6. 16. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
  7. 18. the natural processes and functions that maintain ecosystem health and enable other ecosystem services to occur
  8. 19. the process of repairing sites in nature whose biological communities and ecosystems have been degraded or destroyed
Down
  1. 1. Microscopic marine algae
  2. 3. also known as the sunlight zone, is the surface layer of the ocean extending from the surface down to 200 meters
  3. 5. the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf
  4. 6. a microbially facilitated process where nitrate is reduced and ultimately produces molecular nitrogen through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products
  5. 7. a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water
  6. 8. an organism that cannot manufacture its own food by carbon fixation and therefore derives its intake of nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter
  7. 10. are the non-material benefits that ecosystems provide to humans
  8. 11. the biological process by which organisms convert inorganic compounds (such as hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide, or ferrous ions) into organic matter, including sugars and amino acids, using these compounds as an energy source
  9. 13. the process by which microscopic organisms break down nitrogen-containing chemicals from dead organic matter into simpler substances like ammonia
  10. 15. organisms that can produce their own food, using materials from inorganic sources
  11. 17. also known as the midnight zone because of the lack of sunlight
  12. 20. the absorption and digestion of food or nutrients by the body or any biological system
