Images

[edit]

This article needs some love. I took out most of the images, as they weren't particularly appropriate to the article, but I'm sure more appropriate images could be found and added. There was an image of marine diatoms and a kelp bed under the phytoplankton section; as this is about a freshwater habitat, marine algae isn't particularly appropriate. There was a photo of a swamp in Florida under the reed swamp section; in the US, a reed swamp would be called a marsh (no woody vegetation), so a photo of a wooded swamp isn't very appropriate. There was a picture of a alpine meadow in Switzerland under the sedge meadow section. While the surrounding topography suggested that this meadow may have once been a pond, it was far past the sedge/grass stage of succession. A more appropriate picture would be of a sedge rich meadow that was clearly a former pond. Finally there was a picture of a woodland in Illinois under the woodland section; this image probably could stand, but the woodland depicted did not originate as a hydrosere (there is a visible slope in the photo whereas hydrosere woodland would be flat). Probably an image of a hydrosere woodland could be located.192.104.39.2 (talk) 21:45, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
