Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While it is true that flowing water aquatic systems contain high levels of organic matter, this does not mean they are not dependent on inputs from the terrestrial system. Inputs from adjacent land areas can contribute to the organic matter and nutrients in the stream or river. Additionally, changes to the surrounding land use can also impact the health and ecology of these systems.
