INTRODUCTION
An ecosystem is a group of living beings which interacts as a community in accordance with the
non-living elements of their atmosphere (Fish, Church and Winter, 2016). Such organic and
inorganic molecules elements are connected together across nutrient processes and transfers of
resource. This report includes Freshwater wetlands lakes and rivers unique properties or values,
goods and services, the key vulnerabilities and major impacts of climate change on this
ecosystem are discussed.
MAIN BODY
Freshwater habitats have a vast variety of products and services. Wetlands exhibit significant
biodiversity, act as pollutant controls and are essential for energy production and
carbon emissions. Rivers convey nutrients and water from the ground to the seas as well as
provide critical buffering ability particularly when supplied by natural streams and waterways
throughout droughts. Lakes act as pools for sediments and pollution and have critical archives of
ocean temperature change information. The features and international distribution of freshwater
aquatic ecosystems (which occupy around 10.3 Mkm2) vary considerably. Some biological fresh
water ponds are situated in the high latitudes, many manmade ponds take place throughout the
mid and reduce latitudes and several distilled water waterways appear at elevations of up to
5,000 m, especially in the Himalayas and Tibet. Many natural habitats are found in the boreal
zone and most controlled wetlands are situated in the tropical regions and sub-tropics. Global
region projections under rivers, streams and wetlands differ widely based on description.
Wetlands comprise the most diverse range of ecosystems follow gradients of hydrology and
nutrients and all main systems, especially products and services rendered, rely on the hydrology
of wetland depths. Inland waterways are subject to a great deal of pressure from greenhouse
gases (Griebler and Avramov, 2015). Aquatic habitats include a vast variety of goods and
services. Wetlands are very often 'hotspots' of biological diversity, and acting as pollutant
reservoirs from both extent and non-point sources, as well as are vital for sequestration of carbon
and pollution. Rivers convey water and minerals from the ground to the ocean water as well as
provide critical streaming ability particularly when fed by hillside springs as well as glaciers
throughout rainfall spells. Closed ponds act as reservoirs for sediments and biomass, offering
valuable reservoirs of natural climate increase knowledge.
