They are all freshwater. ]]> 2018-05-14 00:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260289201 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260305543 Each standing water can be classified into three categories based on nutrient status; eutrophic(rich in nutrients), mesotrophic(neutral amount of nutrients), and dystrophic(low amount of nutrients).]]> 2018-05-14 01:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260305543 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260306369 These ecosystems support plankton, a general term for organisms that drift in water.

These insects lay their eggs on the water, so only eggs and larvae are found on or in the water.]]> 2018-05-14 02:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260317074 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260318706 Standing water is found all over the world in many locations above sea level.
The bottom of standing water can be as much as 20°C colder than the top of the standing water depending on how deep it is.
Standing water usually gets around 0" to 450" of rainfall in a year. Summers usually have less rainfall.
Global warming greatly affects standing water, because it has less water than other ecosystems. This causes the water to fluctuate more than usual.
Less than 3% of Earth is covered in standing water.]]> 2018-05-14 02:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260318706 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260320131 Plankton are at the bottom of the food chain along with insects that occupy standing water. When plankton die, they sink to the bottom, where they are then eaten by plants and others at the bottom of the water. Insects are eaten by fish when they jump out of the water to catch them when they fly low over the water. Fish can also eat plankton or plants in the water. Some of the bigger fish eat the smaller fish as well.]]> 2018-05-14 02:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260320131 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260322737 Gaube Lake in France, translates to "Lake Lake".]]> 2018-05-14 03:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260322737 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323157 2018-05-14 03:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323157 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323394 2018-05-14 03:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323394 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323710 2018-05-14 03:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323710 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323864 2018-05-14 03:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260323864 stu_taffe https://padlet.com/stu_taffe/u3o8p0fmfth2/wish/260525561 http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/glossary/gloss5/biome/aquatic.html
