The land-ocean aquatic continuum encapsulates the transition zone between terrestrial ecosystems and the open ocean and has been used in this way to describe a series of biogeochemically and physically active systems that process carbon and nutrients as these elements move from upland soils to the open ocean.

Mass: In medicine, a lump in the body. It may be caused by the abnormal growth of cells, a cyst, hormonal changes, or an immune reaction. A mass may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).

Note
Terms such as "mass" and "lump" are used to describe any overgrowth of tissue. However, these terms may not necessarily mean that such growths contain cancer cells.
