Can a fallen log be considered an ecosystem? Explain your answer.
The rotting log can have fungus or insects and bugs. That's how a rotting log can be an ecosystem.
The log itself, if it is dead, is abiotic. But decomposers on it, such as fungi, are biotic.
insects
mosses, fungi, molds and bacteria, and lichens
Insects, slime molds, worms, bacteria, protists, nematodes
you guys are idiots if you dont know what they benefit from a rotin log so you tell me
Yeast is a microorganism from the kingdom fungi, therefore it is biotic.

Its a part of a tree that is dead and rotting away.

i dont get ur question =P
Fungi lack chlorophyll, the structure that allows normal plants to undergo photosynthesis. They instead grow on rotting vegetation because they can then feed off the energy the dying plants had.
Many saprophytic fungi, such as Polyporus, live under a rotting log.
insects

Rotting log
Caterpillars that I have observed seem to prefer live vegetation, but a rotting log may contain grubs and other larvae.
No, a decaying log is not an ecosystem. It is a habitat, or where living things live.
Rotting log? Animals? e.g. toadstools and bracket fungus Credits - Mr. Black Don't mind the word
