Zoology on Temperate Deciduous Forest
Abiotic and Biotic factors impact an area’s overall health. A couple
examples are a bird (biotic) eats a plant (abiotic) this helps the bird’s
health. After that bird is healthy it has energy. Then a hawk (biotic) eats
the bird. The energy and goes into the hawk to make it healthy. If the
first level consumer (bird) is over eaten by the second level consumer
and dies off and does not eat the producer (plant) the producer will
over grow and affect the area. If the first level consumer dies off, then
the second level consumer (hawk) won’t get food and the will die.
Abiotic and Biotic organisms repeat the cycle of producer is eaten by
the first level consumer then it is eaten by second level consumer. If an
area has this cycle it is healthy with a stable population of abiotic and
biotic organisms. This is how abiotic and biotic factors affect the area in
which they are living in.

2. Wolverine
3. Hawk
Omnivore:
1. Blue Jay
2. Sparrow
3. Crow
Decomposer:
A decomposer is an organism that breaks down other organisms after
they die. One of the most common decomposers in a temperate
deciduous forest is a maggot. Decomposers are very important to this
biome because the dead organism is not just laying there forever and
this is a win-win situation. The biome is not full of dead organisms and a
decomposer gets its meal. Fungi are another common decomposer.
Food Chains:
Food Chain 1:
The bush is a producer, the caterpillar is a primary or first level
consumer and the sparrow is the second level consumer. Or maybe the
leaf is the producer, the fly is the primary and the caterpillar is the
second level consumer. The producer relies on a process called
photosynthesis to stay alive. The primary relies on the producer to be
alive for it to stay alive. The second level consumer relies on the
primary consumer to be alive for it to eat. This is a food chain.
Adaptations:
Organisms adapt to their biome to ensure survival. The grizzly has
adapted to it the temperate deciduous forest. It uses its nose to smell
berries and other things that it eats. It has its fur coat to protect him
from the cold in the winter when it hibernates. The grizzly has perfectly
adapted to its environment.
