In fresh water ecosystems they can act as filters for plankton‚ by clearing the water sunlight can reach deeper into the water; this lets more aquatic animals to grow. Although they do provide benefits to our ecosystem they can also be very damaging; they can clog pipes‚ they eat phytoplankton which leaves less food for fish and zooplankton. They tend to grow on manmade structures which affect the

Although sometimes considered only as transitions zones between aquatic and terrestrial environments wetlands actually are true ecosystems‚ holding very peculiar attributes. Florida is surrounded by many different types of ecosystems which makes this particular State a very unique place to live. Rivers‚ springs‚ ponds

In the ecosystem project‚ there are three chambers. The three chambers in our ecosystem are aquatic‚ decomposition and terrestrial. We formed a hypothesis about what would happen to the biotic factors in each chamber of the ecosystem. For the aquatic chamber‚ we stated that the fish would die if the fish did not receive enough oxygen and enough food in the tank. The decomposition chamber did not have a lot of changes much because there is no activity or life in that chamber besides the the potato

The upper pond is teaming with aquatic plant life including lily pads‚ tall grasses and thick bushes all congregating around the edges. The lower pond also contains an abundance of aquatic plants on the shallow shores of the water. Both ponds are fairly stagnant beyond the initial flow of water in and out of the ponds. At first look these ponds appear to be

These are all common questions you would find an ecologist scrounging for information on; questions such as these are the basis and fundamentals of ecology. Ecology is derived from the German word oikos to mean the study of home. Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and the environment in which they reside.
