Paving surfaces immediately changes the amount of heat energy absorbed from the sun. Think of stepping on a black asphalt parking lot in your bare feet- in the midle of summer- it will burn you. It also changes the permeability of soil- rainfall now runs off instead of soaking into the ground. Runoff will tend to wash away plants and animals in streams. Both will have an immediate effect on plant life and on animals.

What are 10 producers and 10 consumers of grassland ecosystem?

Producers provide much needed energy in an ecosystem. Ten producers in a forest ecosystem are: grass, berries, shrubs, flowers, trees, weeds, algae, lichen, mosses, and fungi.


What do producers affect?

Producers somehow affect - whether directly or indirectly - every organism in their ecosystem. All producers make their own food - either through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and the consumers of the ecosystem eat the producers, and other consumers eat those consumers, and eventually every organism in that ecosystem has consumed producers.


Why are there more producers than consumers in any stable ecosystem?

There are typically more producers than consumers in a stable ecosystem because producers form the base of the food chain and support all higher trophic levels. This pyramid shape reflects the energy transfer between organisms, with producers capturing energy from the sun and consumers relying on the energy stored in plants. So, the abundance of producers is essential to sustain the ecosystem.


Who do producers depend on in an ecosystem?

Producers do not depend on other organisms in quite the same was as consumers do. They depend directly on the sun for energy. Other organisms do influence producers though, such as fellow producers competing for sunlight (blocking out from other producers) as well as consumers, which are a danger to producers.


Would you expect there to be more producers or more consumers in an ecosystem why?

In an ecosystem, there are typically more producers than consumers. This is because producers, such as plants and phytoplankton, generate energy through photosynthesis and serve as the foundational source of energy for consumers. The energy pyramid illustrates that as you move up the trophic levels from producers to primary and secondary consumers, the available energy decreases, leading to fewer individuals at each successive level. Therefore, a larger biomass of producers supports a smaller number of consumers.
