An ecosystem consists of all living plants and animals, and the environment in which these organisms thrive. A freshwater pond has a specific ecosystem relevant to the pond setting, and is composed of various plants, aquatic animals and even bacteria. As with all ecosystems, each element of a freshwater pond ecosystem is dependent on the other elements and organisms for survival. The producers of a freshwater pond ecosystem include rooted or floating plants and phytoplankton. The producers provide crucial nutrients for other organisms of the ecosystem.
