#aquatic ecosystem

• Allotrophic — Relating to lakes, aquatic basins, or ecosystems: whose biological productivity and food web are structurally supplied and sustained primarily by organic matter and nutrients originating from the outside (allogenous sources, such as fallen foliage, runoff, or floods), rather than by local indigenous primary production of aquatic plants. In biology, it can also refer to a type of nutrition dependent on exogenous substances.
• Amnicolous — Living, growing, or vegetating on the banks of rivers, streams, or flowing waters. In an ecological sense, the term describes floral or faunal organisms specifically adapted to the humid microclimate and alluvial soils in the immediate vicinity of watercourses.
