 Marine ecosystem :
Characteristics 
Are among of earth's  aquatic ecosystem . Examples include salt marshes , intertidal zones estuaries,  lagoos , mongroves , coral reefs , the deep sea and the sea floor . They can be contrasted . Supports the animal life and vice versa . See the food chain 

Food chain :  large shark > mahi mahi >mackerel>small fish> zooplankton > phytoplankton :

INTERACTS WITH HUMANS :
Negatives 
Humans living near the coast have probably always used the ocean as a source of food  . Fishing was probably the first use of the ocean by  humans in the comercial fishing have restulted in the over exploitation of many fish stoks.

RAINFOREST ECOSYSTEM



                               Characteristics: 



Location:


Are located in the equatorial zone between the tropic Cancer and Capricorn.

Temperature: 

Rainforest are forest characteristics by high rainfall.



Flora and Fauna: 

They may be many millions of species of plants, insects an microorganisms. Mammals , reptiles, birds and invertebrates.
Snakes, turtles , cuculidae and chamaleons.





Interaction with the humans: 

                                   Positives and negatives

 Have been called the jewels of the Earth and world`s largest pharmacy. Medicines , fungal infections , burns respiratory problems and wound treatment.Tropical rainforest provide timber as well as animal products such meat and hides


Also have value as tourism destinations and for the ecosystem services provided.



                                     Deforestation: 

Biologists have estimated that large numbers of species are being driven to extintion.






                                        Food chain: 






PRODUCERS: Plants produce their own food from the energy form the sun
HERVIBORES : these animals eat plants . the butterfly eat nectar form plants
OMNIVORES: these animals eat plants and animals.
CARNIVORES: these animals eat meat which includes animals and insects











RainForest

Characteristics

Temperature:Rainforest:between 27 and 29 C.   Subtropical jungle:between 22 C.  rainforest of the mountain: between 18 C


Vegetation:

-the trees that emerge and appear above the roof formed by the uppermost branches.
-the so-called upper vegetation cover.
-the stratum of the trees of low height,
-shrubs that grow below the statum of shallow trees.
-The great mantle of fern and herbaceous plants that are in almost direct contact with the humid soil.


Animals:(Curiosity):More than 50% of the planet's species inhabit this habitat.
in the jungle there are many types of animals such as reptiles, birds, mammals ......


Interactions with the humans

     




positive:
-some humans when a forest burns it replant
-humans protecs endangered species

DANGER OF EXTINCTION !!!😭


Savanna have 2 seasons :
WET season 
and
DRY season
Here you can see that the wet season have more vegetation than the dry season.
VEGETATION :🌾
 They are: gramíneas, Triodia and Astrebla 
Sometimes this plants can measure more than 2 metres tall.
They are specially on savanna and deserts ( but I think warm
deserts).
FOOD WEB:🍗
The plants are eaten by:
elephants, antelopes,buffalos,
rhinos, zebras and giraffes.
 Elephants are eaten by the lion.
 Antelopes are  eaten by the lion.
 Meerkats are  eaten by the lion.
The lion isnt´n eaten by no one, but
we the lion die the decomposer eat
them.
Buffalo is eaten by the lion.
Rhinos are eaten by the lion.
Zebras are eaten by the lion.
And giraffes are eaten by the
lion.

INTERACTION WITH HUMANS:
Positive: 
The good people help to the animals and the 
plants , and some people to wanted to saved 
all the species that are in danger of extinction.
 Negative:
 We pollute a lot and we hunt animals , and sometimes,
we hunt  animals are on danger of extinction.





cold desert





COLD DESERT😋



Where can you find it?

We  can find it in: Antarctic, Greenland, Northern and Western China, Turkestan, Iran and the Nearctic area.



Characteristics:

Snow in winter, rain in spring and in autumn.
Summers are short and wet.
Average temperature in winter: -2º and 4º

Average temperature in summer: 21º and 26º


Vegetation:

There is little vegetation. Plants can be between 15 and 122 cm high.
In some areas we can find ground covers such as liquens. In other areas plants are far away from each other.
We can see grasses, shadscale and camelthorn.




Animals:

We can see deer and polar bear in winter.
We can see small mammals such as rats, miece, squirrels, fox, coyote and lizards in spring, summer and autumn.
Jack rabbits, snakes and wolves are part of this ecosystem too.
We see insects when it's rain season.










Foodchain:

Mosquito is eaten by lizzard.
Lizzard is eaten by fox.
Fox is eaten by wolf.
Wolf is eaten by descomposer when is dead.

Human interaction:

Cold deserts are areas with very few inhabitants. So human impact is very limited in cold deserts.

Positive:

Cold deserts are officially protected, banning many destructive human activities and allowing natural life to grow.

Negative:

Global warming is detroying many ecosystems due to the temperatura increase of the planet, caused by human actitity.

temperate forest

temperate forest
characteristics:
  1. the weather is fresh
  2. the precipitacion is great
  3. is a lot of vegetación
the interaction by the humans
  1. + the exploitation of forest
  2. - we hunt a lot of animals that's why is are in danger of extinción
fun facts
  1. trees in temperate forest can usually take cold water  , but they don't grow

food chain
the grasshoper eat th
e plant that are the producer, the mice eat the grasshoper the snake eat the mice , the Eagle eat the snake and when the Eagle die is eaten by a decomposer
