Producers: The Sahara desert food chain begins with the plants. In spite of the extreme heat and less rainfall there are many plants and animals that live here. The plants are called producers as they do photosynthesis and thus prepare food . There are many kinds of plants in the desert. They are the date palms, Cacti, thorn acacia, creosote bush, sage brush, desert milkweed, desert willow, desert tobacco and many annuals.
Primary consumers or Herbivores: In the Sahara desert food chain the next level are the herbivores which eat only plants. The plants are eaten by primary consumers called herbivores. These are small mammals like kangaroo rat , ground squirrels, certain insects, (a wild sheep), gazelle, and Arabian camels.
What else can I help you with?
Why is phosphorus primary nutrient?
because it follows the phosphorus rock cycle.
What nutrient tends to cycle within a single ecosystem?
Nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus tend to cycle within a single ecosystem. They are taken up by plants, consumed by animals, and released back into the environment through decomposition and waste, completing the nutrient cycle.
What is the role of the tree in the nutrient cycle?
Trees play a key role in the nutrient cycle by absorbing nutrients from the soil through their roots and incorporating them into their leaves, branches, and trunk. When trees shed their leaves or eventually die, these nutrients are returned to the soil through decomposition, where they can then be taken up by other plants or organisms, thus completing the cycle.
Why is the nutrient cycle important in the rainforest?
as you might already know, rainforest soil lacks in nutrients due to the constant rain washing it away (leaching). one might ask, then how does the rainforest have these lush green plants if it has poor soil? the answer is the rainforest nutrient cycle. the rainforest nutrient cycle is when decaying matter or in other words dead wood and leaf litter fall from the trees and their nutrients are very quickly broken down. they are returned to the system and are then taken in by living plants. the nutrient cycle is basically the answer to why these rainforests have such beautiful, lush, green plants. for more information, see related link:
What is a fundamental difference between the water cycle and other nutrient cycles?
Water cycle is the cycle that H2O molecules go through. The nitrogen cycle is the cycle that nitrogen goes through as it changes from nitrate to nitrite to ammonia, all by bacterias in the soil.
What can be a sentence using the words water cycle carbon and nutrient cycle?
Water helps carbon and other elements to complete the nutrient cycle.
Why are you considered a part of food nutrient cycle?
they considered part of food nutrient cycle becausefood all living things need food
What food nutrients do the producers in the constructed food nutrient cycle contain?
the answer is the food nutrients si do with producers if the food is constructed of nutrient cycle?
How do human activities affect a nutrient cycle?
Human activities effect a nutrient cycle by increasing the amounts of nutrients in the cycle faster then natural biotic and abiotic processes can move them back to the stores.
When an ecosystem is limited by a single nutrient that either is scarce or cycle very slowly this substance is called a?
limiting nutrient
How food nutrients cycle goes on and on in the forest ecosystem?
how the food nutrient cycle goes on and on in a forest ecosystem
In which natural ecosystem do nutrients cycle the fastest and which is the slowest?
Nutrients cycle fastest in aquatic ecosystems like lakes and rivers due to high microbial activity and rapid decomposition of organic matter. The slowest nutrient cycling typically occurs in desert ecosystems, where the arid conditions limit nutrient availability and decomposition rates.
What is another name for nutrient cycles in ecosystems?
The dead organic matter are an example of nutrient cycle and can sometimes be buried under sediment, rendering the carbon unavailable to living organisms.
Explain how the food nutrient cycle goes on and on in a forest ecosystem?
ambot
Why is phosphorus primary nutrient?
because it follows the phosphorus rock cycle.
What is the role played by decomposers in the food nutrient cycle?
Decomposers break complex organic compound and help in recycling of nutrient materials .
How do cycles occur?
nutrient cycle is the process by which nutrients are passed from living things to non-living things in a continuous cycle.
