warm, shallow waters poor nutrients & food in waters fresh water standing water temperature depends on local climate, depth brackish water saline tidal waters lack inputs of freshwater protect coastlines from erosion & storm damage high nutrients from trapped organic matter soft spongy ground made of peat very water absorbent cool, northern climate poor draining lake basins water poor in DO and nutrients very acidic soils Sunlight reaches to depths of about 200m Saline waters Density and temperature differences Control water circulation and stratification water rich in minerals water depth 1-6 deep water influx from rivers and streams fresh water may originate from underground springs, runoff, melting snow higher DO in faster moving water Regularly flooded by high tides High salt concentration Thick peat Low oxygen Sulfurous smell changing levels of water crashing waves Freshwater Saturated for at least part of the year
