The types of habitats and the organisms inhabiting streams and lakes are sufficiently distinct to require different expertise among scientists and usually are discussed in separate textbooks. Therefore, for the purposes of this book (Biomes of Earth Acc#9737), it was decided to divide freshwater realm into two biomes: a stream biome and a lake biome. This section is the introduction to the freshwater biome system.freshwater, lake, stream, pond, river, ecosystems, biomes, climates, marshes, habitats, ecology, limnologistsChapter
