Ecosystems

In some ways, the symbiotic relationship between lichens and algae seems like a mutualism (a relationship in which both organisms benefit). The fungus can obtain photosynthates from the algae or cyanobacterium and the algae or cyanobacterium can grow in a drier environment than it could otherwise tolerate.

Gravity is the force that provides the energy for the erosion caused by running water. As water flows downhill, it gains kinetic energy, allowing it to pick up and transport sediment, leading to erosion of the land surface.

Taiga actually isn't an ecosystem, it's considered a biome. The difference is that a biome is a type of habitat in a particular place and is determine by the climate. An ecosystem involves much more than the habitat and climate, such as the organisms that live within and how they interact with one another.

The taiga biome is made up of primarily of coniferous trees and comprises 27% of the forest cover on the planet, circling the globe in the norther hemisphere through Russia, Canada and Alaska. Taiga receives low amounts of rainfall and typically gets only a few months of summer with temperatures between 50°F and 85°F. The winters can be extremely cold with temperatures down to -65°F.

Many fauna species call the taiga biome home, such as large mammals (moose, caribou, bears, beavers, etc), 130 species of fish, and over 13,000 species of insects. In addition, over 300 species of birds use the taiga for nesting grounds, of which only 30 species stay for the winter (typically scavengers, large raptors, or seed-eating birds).

Pukeko, or purple swamphen, are birds found in New Zealand. They typically start breeding in spring, building nests in wetlands or marshes. Females lay around 8-10 eggs, which both parents help incubate for about a month. Once hatched, chicks are cared for by both parents and stay with the family group until they can fend for themselves.

Water, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are four substances that can cycle between the living and nonliving environment in ecosystems through processes like the water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and phosphorus cycle.

Primary succession, as the area is initially devoid of soil and organisms. Over time, pioneer species like lichens and mosses colonize the barren landscape, eventually leading to the development of a more complex ecosystem.

One limiting factor in arctic tundra ecosystems is the short growing season due to cold temperatures, which restricts plant growth and production. Additionally, the layer of permafrost beneath the soil prevents deep root growth, limiting nutrient uptake by plants. Harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds and extreme cold, can also limit the presence of certain species in the ecosystem.

As the tide recedes, not all of the coast is left behind dry. Depending on the type of rock, one can find shallow or deep rock pools. They offer better survival chances for animals and plants that need to be submerged all the time. Because each rock pool is different, they invite different communities. Deep rock pools near the low tide, have few survival problems, whereas shallow rock pools near the high tide, have many. Thus the pool's placing on the shore as well as its depth and size are important factors.

Deep rock pools provide shelter from waves, allowing fragile organisms to live on an otherwise exposed rocky shore. Fragile animals are: sea slugs, shrimps, camouflage crabs, sea eggs, small fishes. Fragile sea weeds are: neptune's necklace, pillow weed, cystophora, sea lettuce and many others.

For the snails that are able to survive in between high and low tide (periwinkle, nerita, melagraphia, cats eye) a rock pool is not necessarily a better place because their predators are found there (dark rock shell, white rock shell, trumpet shell). Large fish and octopus may find the rock pools too small, lacking oxygen for breathing. Rock pools may collect fresh water during rain storms, which is worse for shallow rock pools high up the shore where organisms must wait longer for the tide to return.

It makes the ecosystem more diverse.

droughts affect animals because they would not be able to have much water which could lead to them dieing. Plants are affected because they will die and people will not have much food that grows.

Ecosystems on Earth are diverse and complex systems where living organisms interact with each other and their physical environment. They range from forests and grasslands to oceans and deserts, each with their own unique characteristics and species. Ecosystems play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity, regulating the climate, and providing essential services for life on Earth.

Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants produce energy-rich organic compounds. This process provides the energy source for most terrestrial ecosystems. Sunlight also regulates temperatures and influences patterns of rainfall, which can in turn affect the types of organisms that can survive in a particular environment.

If the number of second level consumers increases, it can lead to a decrease in the population of first level consumers they prey on. This can disrupt the balance of the food chain, causing a decrease in the population of second level consumers due to a lack of food, impacting subsequent levels in the chain.

Deforestation of rain forests harms other ecosystems.

plants die at a certain point of time and when u dont feed them,because they need oxygen

Plants die for many specific reasons. They need the sunlight to continue the plant feeding its self by the process photosynthesis, as well as giving it lots of air, oxygen and carbon dioxide to produce respiration and to keep the plant doing its job and function.

One of the must important things to keep the plant alive is the water they absorb

they need the nutrients and minerals to keep on growing, reproducing. The also need lost of chlorplasts and other things to keep moving. They also need good soil to survive

They could both be Omnivore. (Meat & Veg eater). Possums, Rats and many more are Nocturnal animals. They might be Carnivores (Meat Eaters) because their prey might be sleeping, But if they are Herbivores, (Veg Eater) it might just be the way it is!

This is just my opinion so it isn't the 101% correct answer, But this is quite reasonable.

Happy to help.

CHEERS!

Two abiotic factors for the coastal ocean are temperature, which can affect the distribution of marine species and influence chemical reactions, and salinity, which can impact the density of water and the survival of marine organisms.

An example of an organism from a pioneer community is lichen. Lichens are the first organisms to colonize a barren area and help in the process of soil formation for other plant species to establish. They are a symbiotic combination of fungi and algae or cyanobacteria.

Photosynthetic organisms are producers because they can produce their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis. Fungi are not photosynthetic and rely on external sources of nutrients, making them heterotrophs.

you can eat thing such as nuts, leafs, plants, fruits, such as: apples, pears mango's and there is a WHOLE other types of food that can be eaten and non just don't eat the berries! they are rarely poisonous.

Maintaining a constant internal temperature and pH values is crucial for the proper functioning of enzymes and metabolic processes within living organisms. Fluctuations in temperature and pH can denature proteins, disrupt biochemical reactions, and ultimately lead to cell dysfunction or death. Consistency in these parameters ensures optimal conditions for biological processes to occur efficiently.

Keystone species play a crucial role in maintaining the balance and diversity of an ecosystem. They have a disproportionate impact on the ecosystem relative to their abundance, often influencing the structure and function of the entire community. The loss of a keystone species can lead to significant changes in the ecosystem, potentially causing cascading effects on other species and disrupting the overall stability.

gymnosperms are autorophic because they are plants and plants make their own food.
