Question

Types characteristics and structure of pond river and lake ecosystem

Answer 1

Answer:

• The freshwater ecosystems are generally classified into two major groups as, lentic and lotic ecosystems.

• The term Lentic ecosystems is given to standing water bodies or still water bodies. The LENTIC Ecosystems includes all standing water bodies like Lakes, ponds, swamps or bogs.

• The term lotic ecosystem is given to the flowing water bodies. The LOTIC Ecosystems include all flowing water bodies like river, springs, creek. The subject of study of freshwater ecosystems is known as limnology.

• Almost all ecological factors like temperature, light, pH, dissolved gases, dissolved salts in water, turbidity, alkalinity, depth and areal distribution, all of these parameters play an active role in controlling the habitat of aquatic ecosystems.

• Hence, it is necessary to study the freshwater ecosystems in detail. The following aspects are highlighted in this module: 1. River Ecosystem 2. Ecological factors of Rivers 3. Life along rivers 4. Lake Ecosystem 5. Ecological factors of Lakes 6. Life in lakes
