Limentic Zone

• Very deep area in lake, too deep for sunlight, typically means little to no vegetation.

• Very open area of water, lots of sunlight, good for organisms like plankton.

• Not too deep, light is able to reach bottom

• Bottom of a lake, habitat is ideal for tiny organisms like macroinvertebrates
