An ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living environmental factors such as water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals.

Biotic factors include: Fish (phytoplankton-eater, zooplankton-eater, predator)
, Crayfish
, Zooplankton
, Grasses, phytoplankton, herbivorous insect, worms.
Abiotic factors include: Sunlight, Rainfall, Sedimentation, Weather, Minerals, Temperature.
Changes that would impact the biotic factors include:
Pollution: pollution such as water pollution and air pollution will adversely impact the biotic factors.
Human activities: such as overfishing, rechanneling of the water for purposes such as irrigation, domestic or industrial use, or dredging of the bottom of the lake.
