Biotic and abiotic
Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem example: plants or animals while abiotic are non-living components such as water, soil, or atmosphere

Invasive species in lakes and ponds
Invasive Species
Invasive species are plants, animals, or pathogens that are non-native to the ecosystem under consideration. One invasive lake/pond species is Curly leaf Pond weed.
Lake turnover & Cycling
Lake Turnover and Cycling
Lake turnover is the process of a lake's water turning over from top to bottom. Lake turnover has the power to cycle important nutrients and gases for aquatic flora and fauna throughout a lake.The melting ice allows the water to increase in density again and sink down towards the bottom, while also carrying oxygen.
Lake zones
The four zones of a lake is Limnetic Zone, Profundal Zone, Euphotic Zone, and Benthic Zone. The Littoral Zone is the shore area of the lake or pond. Limnetic Zone is generally classified as the open water area of the lake or pond. Profundal Zone or Hypolimnion (cold water region). Benthic Zone this is the bottom of the pond or lake. Animals that can be found in this region is crawfish, snails, insects.
Lake Zones
lake stratification
the 3 zones are limnetic, littoral and the benthic zone. The benthic zone is essentially the area along the floor of the lake. The limnetic zone is classified by the amount of light that penetrates the body of water. And littoral is everything around the shore or bank
Lake Stratification
excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water. Mosty due to to runoff from the land and the soil dying. Causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen. Is the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients. Eutrophication, the gradual increase in the concentration of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other plant nutrients in an aging aquatic ecosystem
