freshwater biotope

A freshwater biotope is a natural environment where freshwater organisms live, such as lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams. These habitats contain water with low salt levels and support diverse plants, animals, and microorganisms. The conditions — like temperature, flow, water chemistry, and plant life — shape the community of life within it. Freshwater biotopes are essential for biodiversity, providing food, shelter, and breeding grounds for species like fish, amphibians, aquatic insects, and plants. They play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting the health of the broader environment.
