Lakes, ponds, bogs, freshwater and saltwater marshes, swamps and lagoons are examples of ecosystems found in stationary or nearly-stationary waters. Algae, plankton, underwater and floating plants, such as lily pads, may inhabit the calm waters.


Climate
Still water has humid subtropical Climate,and is located in the area popularly know as ''Tornado Alley''.

 Animals

     Plants
 Plants and algae are important to freshwater biomes because they provide oxygen through photosynthesis, and food for animals in this biomes. In fast streams and rivers many plants have special structures that keep them from being carried away by the water.

 The fish eats St. johns wort, an the fish eats the larval dragonfly , the dragon fly eats the pollinator bee , and the plinator bee gets pollen from the flower.

Quantity of Light 
Light provides the solar energy required to drive the process of  photosynthesis. Small ponds may experience shading by surrounding trees.

Quantity of Water
Ponds are small bodies of freshwater with shallow and still water, marsh, and aquatic plants.
The amount of dissolved oxygen in a water body is frequently the key substance in determining the extent and kinds of organic life.

Range of Tempeture
he temperatures range from 65 °F to 75 °F in the summer and 35 °F to 45 °F in the winter. The climate of freshwater biome is determined by a number of factors including location, season and depth of water.

 Compisition  of Soil
The basic components of soil are minerals, organic matter, water and air. The typical soil consists of approximately 45% mineral, 5% organic matter, 20-30% water, and 20-30% air. 







Fish Mating For the second method, the aquarium fish mate through live birth. Only some species of fish will reproduce in this manner. The male fish uses its anal fin in order to transmit the sperm into the female fish. This way female fish's eggs will get fertilized and later on, give live birth to her fry (a fish that's young) TopAre foxes monogamous? Foxes have a complex mating system. In some areas they are monogamous (one male paired with one female). In other areas they are polygynous (one male paired with two or more females)kit foxes are little foxes like house cats and they mate like regular house cats..




Asexual Reproduction

Reptiles


Salamanders can regrow entire limbs and regenerate parts of major organs, an ability that relies on their immune systems, research now shows. A study of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), an aquatic salamander, reveals that immune cells called macrophages are critical in the early stages of regenerating lost limbs.





The whole limb of a salamander or a triton will grow again and again after amputation. In reptiles, chelonians, crocodilians and snakes are unable to regenerate lost parts, but many (not all) kinds of lizards, geckos and iguanas possess regeneration capacity in a high degree.
Plant
Bamboo

Bamboo produces new canes (culms) in the Spring. These shoots emerge out of the ground and grow in height and diameter for around 60 days. During this 60 day period, it will produce limbs and leaves. After the 60 day period of growth, the bamboo cane never grows in height or diameter again.   
Fish

Cartilagenous fish (sharks, skates, rays, chimaeras) eggs are fertilized internally and exhibit a wide variety of both internal and external embryonic development. Most fish species spawn eggs that are fertilized externally, typically with the male inseminating the eggs after the female lays them.




Frog
                                                             
                                                                                         Frog adaptations include specialized legs, feet, skin, eyes and body shape. Frogs primarily live in water, so many of their adaptations enhance their ability to live effectively in an aquatic environment. Frogs have long and powerful legs that allow them to jump and swim for long distances.


                                                              

                          Lizards
Lizards adapted to the dessert. Some lizards run in the sand and don't sink. Others burrow into the sand to escape the desert's intense heat, to hide from predator.                Image result for lizard adaptation  

Algea
Algae have a variety of adaptations that help them survive including body structures, defense mechanisms, as well as reproductive strategies. Some algae have holdfasts that attach to the sea floor and anchor them down much like roots of a plant.

Lily Pads
Water lilies have a number of adaptations that help them survive in water, including big leaves that float on the water's surface to attract ample sunlight for photosynthesis.                      Image result for lily pads adaptations

Orthorceras
Era:

350 million years Orthoceras is an extinct nautaloid that lived in the Devonian period of the Paleozoic era, over 350 million years ago.

Characteristics:
The Orthoceras
The name means straight horn, referring to the characteristic long, straight, conical shell. The preserved shell is all that remains of this ancestor of our modern-day squid. The soft body lived in the last open-ended segment at the large end of the conical shell.


Reason for extinction:
200 million years ago
Orthoceras are ancient mollusks. They first emerged nearly 500 million years ago and went extinct nearly 200 million years ago. (They existed from the Ordovician through the Triassic.

 Era:Mesozoic
Time period Jurassic and cretaceous 
It first appeared abut 240 million years ago 



Characteristics
They were squid like creatures inside a coil shaped shells for there mouth is was a beak and sharp.

Reason for extinction:The Ammonites petered out due to more than one disastrous change caused by the impact.

Megalodon

Era: Cenozoic Era 
Miocene to the Pliocene

Its been found in every continent except Antarctica.

Characteristics
The most common fossils of megalodon are its teeth. Diagnostic characteristics include a triangular shape, robust structure, and a large size.

                               


Reason for extinction:died because the lack of food.





 Carbonemys
The fossil was named Carbonemys because it was discovered in 2005 in a coal mine.


It roamed in South America ten million years ago.

Taiga ecosystems

Image
Location of the Taiga Ecosystems The  taiga  is the largest biome. The  taiga  is primarily a coniferous forest (evergreen trees with needles) like the temperate rainforest, but the  taiga  is  located between 50 degrees latitude north and the Arctic circle. The  taiga  is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The  taiga  lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have Taiga. Climate The  taiga  is the terrestrial biome with the lowest annual average temperatures after the tundra and permanent ice caps. ... The  taiga  or boreal forest has a subarctic  climate  with very large temperature range between seasons, but the long and cold winter is the dominant feature. Plants There are some lichens and mosses, but most  plants ...

littoral zone ecosystem

Littoral Zone Location The littoral zone or nearshore is the part of a sea, lake, or river that is close to the shore. In coastal environments, the littoral zone extends from the high water mark, which is rarely inundated, to shoreline areas that are permanently submerged.                                      Climate of littoral zones The air and water  temperature  can range from extremely hot to below freezing to moderate. The average range of air  temperature  is from 75°f to 102°f. The  intertidal zone  does have seasons. The inter tidal  zone  has hot and humid summers, moderate springs and falls, and cool harsh  winters.                                                         ...
