Freshwater Ecosystem
A freshwater ecosystem refers to a community of living organisms that inhabit bodies of water with low salinity, such as lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams. These ecosystems are characterized by the presence of various plant and animal species that have adapted to thrive in freshwater environments. Freshwater ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, providing habitats for a wide range of organisms, regulating water quality, and serving as a source of drinking water for humans and wildlife.
