Aquatic Ecosystems Marshes, Ponds, and Swamps 3.6

What are three things that make an environment different?  Climate  Animals that live there  Plants that grow there

What are two different types of aquatic ecosystems?  Fresh water  Salt water

Fresh water environments include:  Ponds  Marshes  Swamps  Streams  Rivers

Only 3% of Earth’s water is fresh water.

Ponds A pond is a fresh body of shallow water.

Pond plants include: Water lilies

duckweed

algae

grasses

The water in a pond is usually very still and attracts many animals.

Pond plant populations…

…and pond animal populations…

…help to make up a pond community.

Marshes have fresh standing water with water-logged soil.

Marshes have no trees and the soil is very soggy.

Marshes are covered with grasses and cattails.

There are many different types of animals found in a marsh.

Swamps are also made up of fresh standing water.

Unlike marshes, swamps are covered mainly by trees.

…and bushes.

Swamp water is filled with decaying leaves and flowers.

There are many populations of animals found in the swamp.

Plant and animal populations in a swamp form a swamp community.

Review:  Ponds, marshes, and swamps are water- related environments.  Marshes have soggy soil.  Ponds are made up of shallow fresh water.  Swamps contain trees/marshes do not.  The climate, animals, and plants make up an environment.
