Fish adapt to their environment by having fins and gills. Their gills allow them to absorb oxygen from the water and the fins allow the fish to move through the water very easily.

Alligators adapt to the freshwater biome because they have very tough skin and that allows them to be protected from lots of harmful things around the environment.

One plant that is included in a freshwater biome is  the water lily. They have big leaves that help them float on the water's surface, so that the plant can attract sunlight for photosynthesis.

Another plant that adapts to the environment is algae. The algae adapt to their environment by having hold fasts that attach to the sea floor and anchor them down much like the roots of a plant.

There are four key features that determine the ecology of Rivers and Streams: The flow of the water, amount of light, the temperature, and the climate, and the chemistry of the river.

Freshwater biomes have sandy, silty, and clay like soils found at the bottom of the ponds and lakes. These soils support a rich population of vegetation. These are the same types of soils that people use in their gardens.

One example of a parasitic relationship is between the Schistocephalus solidus (Cestoda) and the Gasterosteus aculeatus. When the cestoda interacts it harms the acueleatus. An example of a commensal relationship is between the Rainbow smelt and pond weed. The pond weed creates a layer over the water that gives protection and also doesn't harm either of them. An example of mutualism is between Green algae and aquatic fungi. Both of them work together to form lichen.

Freshwater biomes range from a lot of different temperatures. In the summer the bottom of a lake or pond could be 39 degrees Fahrenheit, while the top of the lake or pond could be 72 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter the bottom could be 39 degrees, while the top is at least 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

There are roughly 20% of freshwater biomes covering the Earth today. Some places that you may find them are in South Central Africa, Canada, and in the Great Lakes of the Midwest U.S.

Freshwater biomes usually have less than 1% of salt in them.

Freshwater biomes are made up of different types of bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and ponds.
