Water Chemistry – Chemistry and Biology Can Coexist?? 4-4 Aquatic Ecosystems Water Chemistry – Chemistry and Biology Can Coexist?? - Amount of dissolved oxygen and other dissolved chemicals in water impact the amount and type of life found in an aquatic area. - Latitude is an important abiotic factor to both land biomes and aquatic ecosystems.

Origins of Water (Life) Flowing-Water Ecosystem - Turbulent water near the source has little plant life. - As the water flows downhill, sediments build up and enable plants to grow. Downstream, water may meander slowly, where turtles, beavers, and river otters live. Dependent on Rate of Flow

Basic Life In the Water: Plankton - is a general term for free-floating organisms that live in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Phytoplankton (Plant-like) Unicellular algae Base of many aquatic food webs. Zooplankton (Animal-like) Unicellular animals that feed on phytoplankton.

Freshwater Wetlands A wetland is an ecosystem in which water covers the soil or is present at or near the surface of the soil at least part of the year. - flowing, standing and fresh, salty, or brackish.   Many wetlands are breeding grounds for many types of wildlife.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The three main types of freshwater wetlands are bogs, marshes, and swamps. - Bogs are wetlands that typically form in depressions where water collects. - Marshes are shallow wetlands along rivers. - In swamps, which often look like flooded forests, water flows slowly. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Estuaries - wetlands formed where rivers meet the sea. - contain a mixture of fresh and salt water, and are affected by the ocean tides. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Primary producers = plants, algae, and bacteria. - In estuary food webs, most primary production is not consumed by herbivores. Instead, much of that organic material enters the food web as detritus. - Detritus is made up of tiny pieces of organic material that provide food for organisms at the base of the estuary's food web.

- Salt marshes are temperate-zone estuaries dominated by salt-tolerant grasses above the low-tide line, and by seagrasses under water. - Salt marshes occur in estuaries along seacoasts in the temperate zone.

- Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands that occur in bays and estuaries across tropical regions, including southern Florida and Hawaii. - The dominant plants are salt-tolerant trees, called mangroves, with seagrasses common below the low-tide line.

Marine Ecosystems Zones of Light Photic Zone - Well-lit upper layer of the ocean. Algae and other producers can grow only in this thin surface layer. Aphotic Zone - Permanently dark. - Chemosynthetic autotrophs are the only producers that can survive in the aphotic zone.

Each zone contains a characteristic assemblage of organisms. Ocean trench Continental slope and continental rise 10,000 m Continental shelf Abyssal plain Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Coastal Ocean Extends from the low-tide mark to the outer edge of the continental shelf. Includes the photic zone, and photosynthesis occurs throughout its depth. Rich in plankton and many other organisms. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Kelp forests support a complex food web. Marine Ecosystems Kelp forests are named for their dominant organism, a giant brown alga. Kelp forests are one of the most productive coastal ocean communities. Kelp forests support a complex food web.

Open Ocean - The open ocean, the oceanic zone, extends from the edge of the continental shelf outward. - It is the largest marine zone. - Most of the photosynthetic activity on Earth occurs in the photic zone of the open ocean by the smallest producers.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Benthic Zone - The ocean floor contains organisms that live attached to or near the bottom. - These organisms are called benthos. The ocean floor is called the benthic zone. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 4-4 Which of the following factors is important in determining the type of aquatic ecosystem found in a specific area? geographic location amount of dissolved chemicals the percentage of land covered by water the kinds of organisms in the water Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 4-4 The two types of freshwater ecosystems are distinguished by whether or not they have high oxygen content or low oxygen content. phytoplankton or zooplankton. high temperature or low temperature. flowing water or standing water. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
