Flowing-Water Ecosystems Rivers, streams, creeks Plenty of dissolved oxygen Turtles and beavers make home down stream.

Water Biomes. Watersheds Watersheds An area of land that drains rainfall and snowmelt into a particular body of water. Pennsylvania is host to 83,184.

Aquatic Biomes. Aquatic ecosystems cover about 75 percent of Earth’s surface The salt content, water temperature, water depth, and speed of water flow.

The Hydrosphere. Water on Earth 97 Percent of the worlds water is in oceans and too salty to use Salt in the ocean can be removed through desalinization.

Freshwater ecosystems Extremely low salt count Different reservoirs for freshwater Colder water holds more oxygen Can be a nursery for marine organisms.

FRESHWATER and ESTUARY BIOMES. Chapter 20 Stream and River Ecosystems The water in brooks, streams, and rivers flows from melting snow, rain or a spring.

Aquatic Habitats Approx. 75% of Earth’s surface is water! This is the aquatic biome. Marine Habitats Saline (salt water) Oceans and Seas (35ppt.) Estuaries.

Shallow -little soil deep – fertile soil lots of soil.
