Wetzel week - day 5

This is our last day and the last videos: learning about wetland ecosystems and a little bit of
physical limnology with the closing chapter on water movement! While we know that you are
very sad to end this wonderful limnology show, more videos are in production, and we will keep
you posted as soon as they come out! Thank you for learning with us!

Wetzel week - day 1
~ ~ 

We are starting today to learn about water clarity and salinity, two important chemical properties! Did you always wonder why the water can have different colours? You might also wonder why talking about salinity once it comes to freshwater ecosystems?
