Grammar
With reference to& in terms of
Hello,
I've confused by the two phrases with reference to & in terms of.
There are two examples like this:
1. Such variation can no doubt be explained with reference to the habitats in which individual species have developed.
2. After agriculture, industry is the second biggest user of water and, in terms of value added per liter used, is sixty times more productive than agriculture.
I wonder whether these two phrases express the same meaning as referring to something, or do they have any difference on the usage?
Hope you can give me a hand, thanks!
