I chose Feather River for my Eco-system in Oroville California . The limiting factors in my Eco-system are the current, sunlight, temperature of the water and the water level . Feather River has a strong current that limits the types of fish that are in the water . The temperature is a major factor because the direct runoff from the melting snow causes the water to be very cold which also effects the depth and width of the river . There is no shade so sunlight shines down which allows algae to flourish .
This ecosystem is an open system because there is a steady flow of water going through . Defining the limiting factors of an ecosystem are important because it affects what type of species or how a species survives in the ecosystem . The cold water effects the diversity of fish in the waters . The current effects what type are fish travel through the water . Only fish with streamlined bodies can travel efficiently through the water and they tend to go against the current . The rivers water level is low in the beginning of summer but soon rises when the temperature rises . The temperature of the river does not change, it only gets warmer further down stream .
