- From our most ancient civilizations to the present day, river ecosystems have been an important part of our survival as a species. In this two part video, we'll examine both the hydrology of river ecosystems and the incredible plants and animals that call this place their home!
This special ecology video series is designed for use by educators and parents to help supplement online education efforts during the coronavirus crisis and beyond. Each episode focuses on a different set of learning standards outlined by the North Carolina State curriculum guide. This video introduces topics in ecology found within objective 5.L.2, which will be expanded on in upcoming videos.

Hey there, and thanks for checking out today's video! If you are a student who was assigned this video for homework, welcome to my channel!
I hope that you'll check out some of my other wildlife content (after your homework is done of course). If you love wildlife and exploring the great outdoors, I think you'll really enjoy my content, and I'd love to have you as a subscribed member of this community.
ALSO, I just finished up Ecosystems Episode 5: The Wetland Ecosystem, which you can check out right now if you are interested:

which state does this video take place also the river this runs off from please, thanks.
thanks!
love ur videos
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that!
I have been really enjoying this series Ben, it is so unique and so full of information, I’ve been studying this stuff for many years and I still feel like I’ve learned a ton because of how well you present. You are incredibly engaging and bring so much enthusiasm to this platform, every video you do keeps getting better. I really hope schools in your area are using these videos for educational purposes, they suit that purpose exactly and would be a perfect addition to any classroom. Well done Ben!

Thank you so much for the kind words about my content! As always, I greatly appreciate your support and feedback.
I actually grew up two houses away from the Cuyahoga River in Ohio. And my Grandma had a creek running through her yard. So "flowing water" is just part of my makeup. I feel weird when I'm too far away from Mother Nature.
I'm waiting for people to say "only in Ohio"
Rivers are one of my absolute favorite places to explore! Where there’s water, there’s gonna be a higher diversity of life, meaning you got a lot more weird encounters the closer you get to water. I’m curious as to whether you’ll talk about indicator species in your next episode? Or will you save that for a future ecosystem video? Either way, great delivery- here’s to next time!
Yeah absolutely! I think I might save indicator species for a later video, but will probably at least mention them in regards to amphibians or benthic inverts since they are important parts of a river ecosystem.
This video was so great! The drone shot was so peaceful and beautiful! I’ve learned more about rivers in this video, than from my old science teacher lol. Was that dead salmon from where you live? Didn’t know you have salmon in your area
Thanks so much! No, the salmon was not where I live, that is just a royalty free clip I found online that looked like a good visual for 'dangerous pollutants' xD
The Wild Report oh noice, stoked for the animal segment of this mini series 🎉
Good stuff as always. I'm really enjoying your videos!
Thank you, glad to hear that!
Another great episode Ben, rivers are some of the most fascinating ecosystems to explore! One of the craziest phenomenons i've seen is a place in the amazon called "Encontro das aguas" where two rivers meet but don't mix for a few kilometers, and it looks like there's a glass wall dividing the waters of two different colors! if you stick your hand in the water you can even feel the difference in temperature, speed and density as you cross the invisible barrier, which is why they don't mix
Thanks Emilio! That sounds totally awesome, I bet there's some crazy wildlife once they do mix and all the nutrients start distributing throughout the water column.
@@TheWildReportOfficial oh yeah, one of the tributaries has more species of fish than the entire continent of Europe!
The River Ecosystem refers to the interconnected community of living organisms, such as plants, animals, and microbes, that inhabit a particular river or water body, as well as the non-living components, such as water, sediment, and nutrients, that make up the environment. The health and functioning of a river ecosystem are influenced by various factors, including water flow, temperature, nutrient availability, pollution, and human activities such as agriculture, urbanization, and industrialization. Changes in any of these factors can have significant impacts on the composition and dynamics of the ecosystem, affecting the survival and distribution of its constituent species. The study of river ecosystems is important for understanding the ecological processes that govern freshwater environments and for managing them sustainably to ensure their long-term health and resilience. or water body, as well as the non-living components, such as water, sediment, and nutrients, that make up the environment.

I knew this was going to be a good one. I love walking along and in the rivers here. We have a lot in Connecticut. I live right along the Naugatuck River. Patiently waiting for animal part of this.. (really can’t wait) 😉
Haha I also can't wait for part two, and I'm the one making it xD
Great info in this one Ben, some awesome habitat shots. Think I'm going to miss seeing water, AZ is going to be a hot one. Look forward to #2.
Thanks man, AZ is my #1 on my destination herping list for this summer...would unusually dry conditions lead to unproductive herping come July/August?
@@TheWildReportOfficial It depends. Had nice rains in the winter months through Mar, but April has been hot. It's all about the monsoon in late Juy/Aug. If that ramps up, all good. El Nino better for wetter monsoon in AZ. I use the ENSO tracker through UofAz to keep up on predictions.
@@smetlogik Thanks for the insight, I'll have to keep track of things as well. Fingers crossed for some good moisture.
I love living close a river. I've always been drawn to them.
I think I'll live near a river some day, they just have so many interesting animals that live around them and are so dynamic.
I love how peaceful your videos are.🤗
I'm so glad!
Real nature
All these vid's are really helping me for my task
Glad to hear that!
Explain ecological zonation of river
why there a building
His videos helps my homework
this was nice to learn from but ive been looking at the mouth movement like.. THE WHOLE VIDEO lol so funny
