Healthy aquatic ecosystems depend upon many factors. One important factor is the chemical balance present in the ecosystem.. Aquatic ecosystems are susceptible to many chemical changes. Usually if the chemistry of a “healthy” ecosystem changes, signs of this change will include sensitive organisms quickly declining in number or disappearing. These types of organisms are called . 4.2 pgs. 94 - 100. Biomes.
