What Does BOM Stand For?
BOM stands for Benthic Organic Matter
BOM, or Benthic Organic Matter, refers to the decomposing organic materials found on the seafloor, including dead plants, animal remains, and other organic debris. It plays a critical role in aquatic ecosystems by serving as a food source for benthic organisms and contributing to nutrient cycling. The study of BOM is essential for understanding energy flow, habitat dynamics, and the overall health of marine environments.
