Lentic ecosystems are standing bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, and reservoirs.
Lentic ecosystems are distinguished from lotic ecosystems, which are flowing waters, such as rivers and streams.
Lentic ecosystems are characterized by relatively slow water movement and a distinct layering of water temperature and dissolved oxygen.
The upper layer of a lentic ecosystem, known as the epilimnion, is warmer and well-oxygenated, while the lower layer, known as the hypolimnion, is cooler and less oxygenated.
