Stream Ecology - Light and Its Impact on Aquatic Ecosystems - Lecture 9

Explore the critical role of light in stream ecosystems and its impact on aquatic life in this 43-minute lecture from the Stream Ecology course. Delve into the various ways light influences stream ecology, including its effects on primary production, habitat structure, and organism behavior. Gain insights into the relationship between light availability and stream productivity, and understand how changes in light conditions can affect the entire food web. Briefly examine the phenomenon of the ozone hole and its potential consequences for aquatic environments. Enhance your understanding of stream ecology by learning about this fundamental abiotic factor and its far-reaching implications for freshwater ecosystems.
