2
What is the Freshwater Biome?
  • The freshwater biome is a low saline aquatic
    biome that covers one fifth of the earths surface.

3
Freshwater Location
  • Freshwater can be found all over the world.

4
Types of Freshwater
  • Types of freshwater are lakes, ponds, rivers,
    streams, creeks, and brooks.

5
Temperature
  • The temperature of a freshwater biome ranges from
    22C to 4C in the summer.
  • In the winter the temperature would be 4C to
    0C.
  • There is a lot of rain in the freshwater biome.

6
Animals
  • Some animals that can be found in a freshwater
    biome are trout, catfish, bass, Mosquitoes, black
    flies, ticks, frogs, snakes, salamanders, and
    alligators.

7
Abiotic Factors
  • Some abiotic factors that affect a freshwater
    biome are the speed of the water flow and the
    local climate.

8
Biotic Factors
  • Freshwater biomes contain about 12 percent of the
    worlds known animals and 40 percent of the worlds
    fish species.
  • Wetlands offer birds food, shelter, a place to
    breed, nest, and raise their young.

9
Adaptations
  • Mostly all of the animals and plants that live
    nearby had to adapt to all of the conditions
  • They had to adapt to whenever it gets hot or
    cold.
  • Without adapting to the conditions the plants and
    animals couldn't thrive

10
Human Influence
  • The freshwater biome is seriously threatened by
    pollution from farm runoff, industrial
    discharges, recreational boating, and fast-food
    packaging.

11
Conservation Projects
  • Some people try to help the freshwater biome by
    cleaning it and issuing laws to protect
    freshwater.
