Rivers & Streams

Biome

Rivers and streams are flowing freshwater biomes that shape landscapes and support diverse life, including fish, amphibians, and river-dependent mammals like otters and beavers. They transport nutrients from mountains to oceans and differ from lakes in their dynamic, moving water.
