freshwater biomes

Freshwater biomes are aquatic environments with low salt content, including lakes, rivers, ponds, and wetlands. They support diverse plant and animal life adapted to their specific conditions, such as fish, amphibians, insects, and aquatic plants. These biomes are vital for providing water for drinking, agriculture, and industry, as well as supporting ecosystems that sustain many species. Freshwater habitats also help regulate climate, filter pollutants, and maintain the health of the planet’s water cycle. Despite their importance, they face threats from pollution, habitat destruction, and invasive species.
