  1. Freshwater Biome Research By: Jay Ryan Williams

  2. FreshwaterGeography & Climate • Location: located where there is plenty of nutrition and minerals • Soil type: deep, rich soil • Precipitation: very little precipitation • Temperature range: 39ºF-71ºF • Climate: 39ºF-71ºF • Description: Includes lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks. Covers 1/5 of the Earth and they are vital to our survival.

  3. FreshwaterBiodiversity • Plant species: spike rush, bull rush, pickerel weed, cattail, water lily, algae, cyanobacteria, and man-grove leaves. • Animal species: mollusks, insects, frogs, crabs, shrimp, turtle, tadpoles, bass, salmon, trout, raccoons, earthworms, possums, birds, mosquitoes, and manatees. • About 1900 species

  4. FreshwaterAdaptations Needed for Survival • Plant: some aquatic plants have strong roots that keep them anchored securely, others have stems that bend with the movement of the water, and the plants in still water float on top. • Animal: some animals need the movement of the water to survive, some animals have suction cups so that they can hang onto rocks in fast moving water.

  5. FreshwaterInteractions of Biotic and Abiotic • Biotic: Plants and algae are important to freshwater biomes because they provide oxygen through photosynthesis, and food for animals in this biome. • Abiotic: Bodies of water are important because they can sustain aquatic life for this biome. Sunlight is very important because it provides energy for all of the species of plants.

  6. What is Biodiversity? • Biodiversity- the number of different species of plants and animals in a specific area

  7. How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem? • The bigger the biodiversity, the better. All of the living and non-living organisms make up the food chain. So when you have a big food chain in a biome, all of the organisms live, die, and reproduce new organisms, thus keeping the biome fresh and clean.
