The question is asking to explain the aquatic environments are more likely to have winter ice and base on my research, the answer would be the water in fresh water ecosystems like lake, ponds, and rivers are more likely to freeze over in winter because the salt dissolved in marine environments prevents the water from freezing.
The water in freshwater ecosystems like lakes, ponds, creeks, and rivers are more likely to freeze over in winter because it doesn't contain salt. The salt dissolved in marine environments prevents the water from freezing.
