Here are the Top Facts about Aquatic Ecosystems and Biomes.
There are two major Aquatic Ecosystems or water biomes, they are the Marine biome and the Freshwater biome.
But first, let's go over the difference between an ecosystem and a biome.
An ecosystem is smaller than a biome. Biomes can be all over our planet and are created by physical factors such as climate, rainfall and more.
An ecosystem is a group of plants and life that live within a biome.
The Marine Biome is primarily made up of saltwater oceans.
Marine ecosystems are the largest of Earth's aquatic ecosystems and exist in waters that have a high salt content.
Marine ecosystems are the largest biome on planet Earth and cover about 70% of the Earth's surface
Marine ecosystems account for more than 97% of Earth's water supply and 90% of the livable area on Earth.
The Marine biome is primarily made up of the oceans that can be divided into three classes: Oceans, Coral reefs, Estuaries
Freshwater ecosystems are lakes, ponds, streams, wetlands, and rivers.
Basically, any body of water that has salt levels lower than 1% are freshwater ecosystems.
Freshwater ecosystems are one of the most valuable resources on the planet and are home to over 100,000 aquatic species.
There are three main types of freshwater ecosystems or biomes: ponds and lakes, streams and rivers, and wetlands.
