Freshwater-ecosystems-Impact Factor

Freshwater ecosystems include lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, springs, and wetlands. You will find them in many different sizes, from very small to very large. The water within the ecosystem can be still (not moving), like in a pond, or it can be running (moving), like a river or stream. Freshwater ecosystems are broken into three zones: littoral, open water and deep water - we'll talk more about these below. The plants and animals within the ecosystem interact with light, food, oxygen, weather, and climate in different ways. Impact Factors are wont to measure the importance of a journal by calculating the amount of times selected articles are cited within the previous couple of years.
