The understanding and quantitative description of marine ecosystems requires the integration of hydrodynamics, marine chemistry, and marine biology.

The coupling with hydrodynamics, which determines, for instance, the availability of nutrients and the physical positioning of many marine planktonic organisms in the water column, whether on a small or large spatial or temporal scale, is particularly important as these processes cannot be described using just the biology.
