How are ecosystems determined?
An Aquatic system is determined by depth, flow, temperature, and chemistry of the overlying area.
Aquatic ecosystems are primarily determined by what characteristics of the overlying water?
aqua means water and when u say aquatic you mean water like ecosystem with diff.types of algeas,protist,plankton,and more.
What ecosystems are aquatic?
Oceans, sea , rivers and other water bodies are the ecosystems that are referred to as aquatic. The ecosystems that are aquatic are freshwater and saltwater(marine).
What nutrient is most often limiting in aquatic ecosystems?
The nutrient most often limiting in aquatic ecosystems is phosphorus.
The major types of flora and fauna found in aquatic ecosystems are determined primarily by?
Light determined the major types of flora and fauna found in aquatic ecosystems.eg, Tropical region compare to polar region. Due to presence of light, tropical is more productive than polar. so major flora and fauna are found in tropical, so light act as productive force in the tropical region.
What are four main factors that affect aquatic ecosystems?
The four main factors that affect aquatic ecosystems are waters depth, temperature, flow, and amount of dissolved nutrients.
The chemistry of aquatic ecosystems is determined my what?
This depends on pH, temperature, oxygen concentration (TOD, BOD, COD), concentration of many impurities, radioactivity, water flow speed, biology of the water, etc.
What microorganisms are capable of photosynthesis and found in aquatic ecosystems?
Phytoplanktons
Aquatic ecosystems where fresh and saltwater meet are called?
Estuaries.
What does aquatic ecosystems affect?
Aquatic ecosystems can affect water quality, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem health. They play a crucial role in supporting various organisms and providing essential services like nutrient cycling and habitat creation. Human activities can negatively impact aquatic ecosystems through pollution, habitat destruction, and over exploitation.
What are the effects of h2s dissolved in water on aquatic ecosystems?
The presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) dissolved in water can have harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems. It can decrease oxygen levels in the water, leading to suffocation of aquatic organisms. Additionally, H2S is toxic to many aquatic species, causing damage to their tissues and impairing their ability to survive and reproduce. Overall, the presence of H2S in water can disrupt the balance of aquatic ecosystems and harm the biodiversity of the environment.
Aquatic ecosystems are classified by all of the following EXCEPT?
Aquatic ecosystems are classified by factors such as salinity, depth, and water flow, but not by terrestrial vegetation types. Salinity distinguishes marine from freshwater ecosystems, while depth and water flow help categorize various habitats within those systems. Therefore, terrestrial vegetation types do not play a role in the classification of aquatic ecosystems.
