Abstract

Freshwater ecosystems, also referred to as freshwater wetlands, comprise many different types, geomorphic forms and sizes and have been defined and classified in different ways, although not all efforts are systematic or readily comparable. In a general sense wetland definition and classification has been based on particular features of the wetlands, including the landform and geomorphic setting, physical dimensions, vegetation, water quality and water regime, soils, and as habitat for specific fauna.
