Freshwater-ecosystems-Impact Factor

Freshwater ecosystems are related to and a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. These ecosystems include lakes and ponds, rivers, streams, springs, bogs, and wetlands. They can even be contrasted with other marine ecosystems, which have a larger salt content. Freshwater habitats can be categorized by different factors, including temperature, light penetration, nutrients, and vegetation.Freshwater ecosystems can be classsified into two different ecosystems.

lentic ecosystems (still water) and lotic ecosystems (flowing water)

The main broad threats to freshwater biodiversity are overexploitation, water pollution, flow modification, destruction or degradation of habitat, and invasion by exotic species. Recent extinction trends may be attributed largely to sedimentation, stream fragmentation, chemical and organic pollutants, dams, and other invasive species. Common chemical stresses on freshwater ecosystem health include acidification, eutrophication and copper and pesticide contamination. Unpredictable synergies with climate change greatly complicate the impacts of other stressors that threaten many marine and freshwater fishes. According to 2018 data the freshwater ecosystems impact factor is 2.935
