In the context of a microscopic model of a freshwater biome, the broadest level of the ecological hierarchy that you will encounter is **ecosystem**.

The hierarchy generally goes from organism to population to community and finally to ecosystem, with ecosystem being the highest level that encompasses all living organisms and their interactions with the abiotic components of their environment.
