There is sediment found at the bottom of a freshwater biome. The slow moving or still water of them allows for it to remain in place. Unlike an ocean biome with salt water which is always moving, some freshwater biomes remain still all the time. Approximately 70% of the water that is u...

Loss of biodiversity is proceeding faster in freshwaters than in any other major biome [35]-[37]. The Hawaiian Freshwater Algal Biodiversity Survey (2009-2014) was carried out to establish baseline data to further assess human impacts on freshwater Hawaiian ecosystems and monitor change in the ...
fens and peatlands that store and process vast amounts of carbon. The boreal biome has the largest number of lakes on Earth23. The molecular composition of boreal lake DOM is considered to be shaped by microbial synthesis and degradation, precipitation, temperature, land cover and water residence...
Cetina River with locations ofPneophyllum cetinaensis, including the type locality (a,b). Different aspects of the river in the canyon (c), the plain section (d) and the type locality (e).Pneophyllum cetinaensisin the type locality covers all available hard substrata, such as cobbles and...
For each lake, 2 (for the shallower lakes)-14 (for the deeper lakes) water depth strata were included. The plots were randomly assigned to the water depth gradients in areas dominated by macrophyte species. Locations that were disturbed by recent human activity (e.g., mowing and fishing) ...
Sediments from the rivers or streams selected in the above-mentioned locations were collected randomly. Samples were obtained ca 10 cm below the surface layer from the riverbeds or edges using sterile 100 mL plastic containers, which were transported in a refrigerated container to the laboratory and...
The presence of Hg and other toxic metals in water resources is associated with several factors, such as weathering, continental degassing, Hg leakage into water bodies, and industrial activities [7]. In the Amazon biome, the anthropic activities most related to contamination by toxic metals, incl...
