Understanding Lotic and Lentic Ecosystems by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A lotic ecosystem is a river, stream, or spring where the water flows predominantly in one direction following the course of the body of water. Lentic environments are stagnant bodies of water such as lakes and lagoons where the water has no current. Lentic ecosystems are divided into three zones: the littoral zone near the shore with abundant life, the limnetic zone in the center with sunlight and fish, and the profundal zone near the bottom with less light.
