a: marine ecosystem ~
b: a single organism
What:
"In some ways, the marine ecosystem is like a single organism, where the sum of photosynthesis and respiration among countless forms of life adds up to a three-dimensional global metabolism. The fact that ocean circulation is always moving stuff around makes it difficult to study these processes - unlike studying trees in a forest, one can't return to look at the same organisms day after day."
