Flora and fauna, both aquatic and land (vegetation)
Explanation:
Hi Andreia:

The phrase in English is "Flora and Fauna" so you should put theae two words together.
"Terrestre" is translated as "land", here. Terrestrial refers to the earth (globe).

Since Flora and Fauna already includes the vegetation, as has been already mentioned by Rafaela, the word "Vegetation" should be omitted.

But, if you feel you must put it in, it goes at the end of the phrase.

The "both" I put in, in this case means, "tanto"

Here's a (rare) case where the translation is actually better than the original.

I've changed to "Aquatic and Land Flora & Fauna" as it is the title of chapter, I'd rather not use a comma. Thanks. I was angry about your 'spiritual'diagnosis joke, pls check my added note, but I'm never mad for more than 2 minutes...

aquatic and terrestrial fauna and flora


Explanation:
Outra opção: "water and ground fauna and flora"

Eu não incluiria 'vegetation' já que 'fauna' significa 'plant life'... Seria redundância.

Boa sorte, Andrea
