here's four....
1) depth
2) flow
3) temperature
4) chemistry of the overlying water
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.
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.
One recent scientist known for studying ecosystems is Dr. Leandro Castello, an aquatic ecologist who focuses on freshwater ecosystems and their conservation and management.
No, there are many other ecosystems, including tropical rainforests, coral reefs, wetlands, and mangrove forests. Each ecosystem has its own unique characteristics, biodiversity, and interactions between living organisms and their environment.
The properties of water suck as oxygen levels and temperature can mean the difference between life and death for plants and animals living in aquatic ecosystems. If an imbalance of properties is ongoing, life in that area may end.
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).
Ecologists classify aquatic ecosystems based on factors such as water depth, flow rate, temperature, salinity, and the presence of vegetation. These criteria help to differentiate between different types of aquatic ecosystems, such as rivers, lakes, wetlands, and estuaries, and understand their unique characteristics and functions.
The nutrient most often limiting in aquatic ecosystems is phosphorus.
The abiotic factor with the least effect on aquatic ecosystems is likely topography. While topography can influence factors like water flow and depth in aquatic systems, it has a lesser direct impact on climate compared to factors like temperature, precipitation, and sunlight.
There is no proof of alien life, if they exists they could have aquatic characteristics.
aqua means water and when u say aquatic you mean water like ecosystem with diff.types of algeas,protist,plankton,and more.
The four main factors that affect aquatic ecosystems are waters depth, temperature, flow, and amount of dissolved nutrients.
An Aquatic system is determined by depth, flow, temperature, and chemistry of the overlying area.

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.
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.
