A biome is defined as the large ecological area where the formation of plantsĀ and animals with common characteristics gather due to the similar climates. If I were an ecologist, and i will be determining whether an entire river and lake biomeĀ is being threatened by human activity, the indicator species that i might look for are the ones that have been introduced into the biome.
