Do the same organisms that would live in a pond that existed all year round?

Yes, many of the same organisms can live in a pond that exists year-round, as these ecosystems often support a diverse range of species. Aquatic plants, fish, amphibians, insects, and microorganisms can thrive in stable environments, benefiting from consistent water temperature and nutrient availability. However, seasonal changes might introduce or influence the presence of specific species, particularly those adapted to seasonal habitats. Overall, a permanent pond typically supports a stable community of organisms, while seasonal ponds may have more variability.
