  2. What is the Freshwater Biome? • The freshwater biome is a low saline aquatic biome that covers one fifth of the earths surface.

  3. Freshwater Location • Freshwater can be found all over the world.

  4. Types of Freshwater • Types of freshwater are lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, creeks, and brooks.

  5. Temperature • The temperature of a freshwater biome ranges from 22*C to 4*C in the summer. • In the winter the temperature would be 4*C to 0*C. • There is a lot of rain in the freshwater biome.

  6. Animals • Some animals that can be found in a freshwater biome are trout, catfish, bass, Mosquitoes, black flies, ticks, frogs, snakes, salamanders, and alligators.

  7. Abiotic Factors • Some abiotic factors that affect a freshwater biome are the speed of the water flow and the local climate.

  8. Biotic Factors • Freshwater biomes contain about 12 percent of the worlds known animals and 40 percent of the worlds fish species. • Wetlands offer birds food, shelter, a place to breed, nest, and raise their young.

  9. Adaptations • Mostly all of the animals and plants that live nearby had to adapt to all of the conditions • They had to adapt to whenever it gets hot or cold. • Without adapting to the conditions the plants and animals couldn't thrive

  10. Human Influence • The freshwater biome is seriously threatened by pollution from farm runoff, industrial discharges, recreational boating, and fast-food packaging.

  11. Conservation Projects • Some people try to help the freshwater biome by cleaning it and issuing laws to protect freshwater.
