Aquatic ecosystems

in hive-141287 •  2 months ago 

Aquatic ecosystems can be seen as bodies of water where organisms interact with each other and with the physical environment. These ecosystems can be categorized into two broad categories: freshwater and marine. Freshwater can be represented by rivers, lakes, ponds and streams, the marine on the other hand, encompasses ocean, seas and coastal regions. Each type is home to plants and animals that can survive specific conditions of salinity, temperature, and water movement.

Aquatic ecosystems are extremely important in the well-being of the earth. These include regulating the climate, maintaining biodiversity and offering space for food and water sources. Additionally, these systems provide recreational and economic activities. At the same time, they have threats like pollution, habitat loss and destruction, overexploitation, and climate change which means their conservation becomes critical for the ecological equilibrium.
