Freshwater biomes
lakes different areas in the lake provided different habitats depending on sun exposure.
ponds
streams
rivers

Estuaries
partially surrounded by land
fresh water and salt water mix
amount of salt depends on tide
amount of freshwater depends on the river

terrestrial biomes

Succession:

the gradual supplanting of one community of plants/animals by another.
Prymary succesion takes place on land where there are no living organisms (lava flowing from volcano,tsunami, glaciers)

Secondary succession sequence of changes that take place after an existing comunity is severely disrupted in some way.
occurs in areas that already contain life on land that contains soil.( fire )

Climax community-
stable mature community that has little or no change
