Cold and dense
You would fine sediment in the benthic zone, or bottom, of a lake.
Found it. Its oligotrophic.
You would fine sediment in the benthic zone, or bottom, of a lake.
The amount of light penetrating the water column, nutrient availability, and presence of suitable substrate for plant attachment are key factors that determine whether a benthic zone in a lake will sustain photosynthesis. Additionally, water clarity and water depth can also influence the growth of benthic plants.
Yes -- an organism is benthic if it lives on the bottom of a sea or lake. Starfish, or sea stars, tend to reside at the bottom of bodies of salt or brackish water
The littoral zone of a lake is the near the shore area where sunlight penetrates all the way to the sediment and allows aquatic plants to grow. The benthic zone is the region at the lowest level of a body of a lake including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
Benthic zone
how deep the lake is.
A freshwater mussel.
Benthic zone
The amount of light penetration into the benthic zone, nutrient availability, and the presence of photosynthetic organisms such as phytoplankton and aquatic plants are key factors that determine whether photosynthesis can occur in the benthic zone of a lake. If there is sufficient light and nutrients, photosynthesis can be sustained in the benthic zone.
The question is slightly incorrectly phrased as the benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
