Learn about the abiotic and biotic components of pond and lake ecosystems, and the zones and organisms they contain. See diagrams of producers, consumers, decomposers and transformers in these fresh water habitats.
A lake ecosystem or lacustrine ecosystem includes biotic (living) plants, animals and micro-organisms, as well as abiotic (non-living) physical and chemical interactions. [1]
Learn about the physical, chemical and biological properties of lakes, their interactions and their importance for humans and other organisms. See diagrams, examples and references of lake ecosystems and their processes.
22 Νοε 2023 · Learn about the environmental characteristics, trophic states, habitat zonation, food web networks, and disturbance effects of lake ecosystems. This chapter also includes a case study of a non-native fish predator invasion in a large African lake.
3 Μαρ 2004 · Learn how the biological communities in lakes are organized into food chains and food webs, and how energy and nutrients flow through them. See diagrams and examples of ecological pyramids, food webs, and photosynthesis and respiration processes.
Introduction. Lakes are inland bodies of water that lack any direct exchange with an ocean. Lake ecosystems are made up of the physical, chemical and biological properties contained within these water bodies. Lakes may contain fresh or salt water (in arid regions). They may be shallow or deep, permanent or temporary.
