Ecosystem stability is the ability to resist and recover from disturbance; the ocean, being the largest, most homogeneous and best-buffered ecosystem, shows the least fluctuation and is considered the most stable.

Stability of an ecosystem depends on its size, homogeneity, and buffering capacity against environmental change:

  • The ocean is enormous in volume and area, has a relatively uniform (buffered) temperature and chemical composition, and is far less affected by short-term local disturbances (e.g., seasonal changes, human interference) compared with smaller, more exposed ecosystems. This large thermal and chemical "inertia" makes it highly resistant to sudden change. …
