I was referring to disturbances, interactions between communities, and the idea of equilibrium, when I said the facts about ecosystems. I wasn't clear.

The abyssal plains are deep underwater. I'm not claiming all parts of a planet are the same, but terrestrial life requires similar adaptations, like water conservation, and exploitables, like the ability to see more frequencies of light (which are probably similar in other hospitable planets).

What we can see of convergent evolution is surprising. Deep underwater ecosystems would have similar adaptive problems on different planets, and require many similar adaptations. Terrestrial ecosystems also have similar adaptive problems.
