Item Chapter 10: Wetlands(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphWetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, and home to many specially adapted plant and wildlife species. Wetlands provide many important benefits to people, fish, and wildlife.Item Chapter 11: Bays and Estuaries(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphTexas bays and estuaries provide vital ecosystems and nursery habitat for many important Gulf species, feeding and resting places for migrating birds, and billions of dollars to the Texas economy.Item Chapter 12: Oceans: The Gulf of Mexico(2016-01) Rosen, RudolphThe Gulf of Mexico is one of the most productive waters in the world, and it is among the most threatened by human actions and neglect.Item Chapter 13: Water for People and the Environment(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, Rudolphne of the greatest challenges facing Texas is balancing the water needs of people with the needs of our environment. We are all connected by water, and how much usable water we have for the future will depend on what we do to conserve water today.Item Chapter 1: Water is Life(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphWater has properties that make it essential to life. And although the earth is known as “the water planet,” it has limited quantities of available freshwater.Item Chapter 2: Water: The Ultimate Recyclable(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphThe earth’s water is one, finite supply that moves from streams to lakes to oceans, flowing underground, freezing on mountaintops and forming the clouds we see in the sky. All this moving and shifting around of water is one of the largest recycling efforts by mother nature, called the hydrologic cycle and is the driving force behind our weather.Item Chapter 3: What’s Your Watershed Address?(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphEveryone lives in a watershed. Everything that happens on the land affects the water in that watershed.Item Chapter 4: Living in Water(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphAll aquatic species, including fish and other aquatic animals, are uniquely adapted to life in or around water.Item Chapter 5: From Sun to Sunfish(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphAquatic habitats are communities in which complex interactions take place among populations and individual organisms as they compete for limited resources in an interdependent web of relationships.Item Chapter 6: Texas Aquatic Ecosystems(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphEcosystems are complex interdependent webs of relationships between living and nonliving things. Texas has six kinds of aquatic ecosystem supporting significant biodiversity.Item Chapter 7: Aquifers and Springs(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphSprings have attracted humans to settle nearby where water is abundant, but careful use is necessary to balance the recharge of aquifers with the use by people. Aquifers and springs also provide aquatic habitats where unique species live on the brink of extinction.Item Chapter 8: Streams and Rivers(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphTexas streams and rivers support diverse ecosystems that are dependent upon the size and flow of water. The healthiest streams and rivers are those with the least altered natural processes.Item Chapter 9: Lakes and Ponds(2016-01) Rosen, RudolphLakes and ponds provide habitat for many plants, insects, fish, birds and other wildlife, much of our drinking water and important economic and recreational opportunities for Texans.
