 AQUATIC
ECOSYSTEM
• An aquatic ecosystem is an ecosystem in a
body of water. Communities of organisms
that are dependent on each other and on
their environment live in aquatic
ecosystems. The two main types of aquatic
ecosystems are marine ecosystems and
freshwater ecosystems.[1] There are two
basic types of freshwater ecosystems:
Lentic (slow moving water, including pools,
ponds, and lakes); lotic (faster moving
water, for example streams and rivers); and
wetlands (areas where the soil is saturated
or inundated for at least part of the time.
An aquatic ecosystem is an ecosystem in a body of
water. Communities of organisms that are dependent

ecosystems are marine ecosystems and freshwater
ecosystems
Wetlands, rivers, lakes, and coastal estuaries are all
aquatic ecosystems—critical elements of Earth's dynamic
processes and essential to human economies and health.
Wetlands connect land and water, serving as natural
filters, reducing pollution, controlling floods, and acting
as nurseries for many aquatic species.

TERRESTRIAL
ECOSYSTEM

• A terrestrial ecosystem is a land-based

community of organisms and the
interactions of biotic and abiotic
components in a given area. Examples of
terrestrial ecosystems include the tundra,
taigas, temperate deciduous forests,
tropical rainforests, grasslands, and
deserts.

ECOSYSTEM
• The type of terrestrial ecosystem found
in a particular place is dependent on
the temperature range, the average
amount of precipitation received, the
soil type, and amount of light it
receives.

• Use these resources to spark student

curiosity in terrestrial ecosystems and
discover how different abiotic and biotic
factors determine the plants and
animals found in a particular place.
