WILD Aquatic Activities The World in a Pond For our purposes, an ecosystem includes an energy source (the sun) and all the living (plants, animals, decomposers) and nonliving (air, soil, water, etc.) components which occupy an area and interact so the unit is self perpetuating. An ecosystem might be a lake or stream and its watershed. An ecosystem is composed of a variety of habitats (areas which supply the survival needs of an organism, living thing). Following is a brief overview of some relationships which occur in an ecosystem. See the appendix, "A Guide to the Ecosystem Concept" in the WILD Aquatic guide for additional information about ecosystems. Ecosystems Energy All ecosystems must have a source of energy (usually the sun) because all organism functions such as growth and reproduction require energy. Energy moves through the ecosystem by a series of events that link organisms together.

Insects Home Eastern Wildflowers General Topics Natural History Ecology Family Environment Evolution Home Education Home Conservation Geophysics Paleontology Commercial Organizations Buy Books about Estuaries An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water formed where freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the ocean, mixing with the salty sea water. Estuaries and the lands surrounding them are places of transition from land to sea, and from fresh to salt water. Although influenced by the tides, estuaries are protected from the full force of ocean waves, winds, and storms by the reefs, barrier islands, or fingers of land, mud, or sand that define an estuary's seaward boundary. Some familiar examples of major estuaries include San Francisco Bay, Puget Sound, Chesapeake Bay, Boston Harbor, and Tampa Bay. Salt Marshes are one typical habitat type occurring commonly in estuaries. Salt marshes are particularly important because they are among the most productive habitats on earth and are home to a wealth of plant and wildlife species. Salt marshes are technically wetlands, but are included here because they are a dominant component of many estuaries.

Estuaries are critical to the health of coastal environments and to our enjoyment of them. EPA's National Estuary Program was established by Congress in 1987 to improve the quality of estuaries of national importance. The Clean Water Act Section 320 directs EPA to develop plans for attaining or maintaining water quality in an estuary. This includes protection of public water supplies and the protection and propagation of a balanced, indigenous population of shellfish, fish, and wildlife, and allows recreational activities, in and on water, requires that control of point and nonpoint sources of pollution to supplement existing controls of pollution. In several cases, more than one State is participating in a National Estuary Program. Each program establishes a

@import url(http://biomass.forestencyclopedia.net/view.css); @import url(http://biomass.forestencyclopedia.net/print.css); Aquatic Ecology Authored By: M. Scott The southern Appalachians are a center of endemism a region where enormous concentrations of life forms occur, reflecting special local conditions. In contrast, most of the world is inhabited by widely distributed and very adaptive species. The uniqueness of the aquatic systems in the southern Appalachians can be attributed primarily to the geologic history and climatic conditions that have influenced the evolution of species and development of biological communities. Since their rise in the late Paleozoic Era (around 250 million years ago), the southern Appalachian mountains have been above sea level. Precipitation falling on these highlands has drained into thousands of kilometers of freshwater streams and rivers. During the Pleistocene Epoch (1.8 million to 11,000 years ago), glaciers advanced over North America but did not reach southern Appalachia. Consequently, evolution proceeded in this region without the catastrophic disruption that occurred further north during that time. The great time scales over which the flora and fauna developed, a relatively mild climate, and the great heterogeneity of landscapes and habitats all combined to produce unique ecological conditions within a temperate aquatic setting. The region forms a global center of biological diversity for many groups of organisms, including fishes, mussels, crayfishes, and aquatic insects.
