Symbiosis
Symbiosis is a relationship between two animals. Four examples of symbiosis are Predation,Competition,Parasitism, and Mutualism.
Symbiosis
Predation
Predation is an interaction in which one organism kills another for food.An example of predation is racoons eating alligator eggs. this is a large problem for alligators because they need their eggs to survive and reproduce
Predation
Competition
Competition, the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources. An example of competition in the Everglades is nonnative species competing with native species to get their prey. This is a problem because nonnative species are a huge threat.
Competition
Parasitism
Parasitism is a relationship where a parasite lives on another organism. An example of parasitism in the everglades is Algae living on lichen. Algae produces food through photosynthesis and the lichen provides a protective exterior.
Parasitism
Mutualism
Mutualism, a mutually beneficial relationship between two organisms. An example of mutualism in the Everglades is a birds and an alligators relationship. The bird gets food from the alligators teeth and the alligator gets its teeth cleaned.
Mutualism
Adaptations
Plants
Plants in the Everglades live in the wetlands. Plants that live on land dig their roots deep into the soil to reach water. Plants in the Everglades have shallow roots to reach drier soil with more oxygen, they also sometimes grow their roots up to reach the air.
Plants
Manatees
Manatees have a lot of cool adaptations in the everglades. They had to adapt to living under water and going a while without breathing. Manatees are vegetarians and don't eat other animals. plants that help them survive are grasses, algae, and water lily's.
Animals
Ecological threats
The main threats in the everglades are pollution, and nonnative species. Invasive exotic species are devouring native species. Some examples are the Burmese Python and the Mayan Cichlid. Because they don't have any natural predators, they can out-compete the native species. The air in the Everglades is polluted with airborne mercury and toxic contaminates.

Nutrients in Abiotic Parts Of The Everglades
Abiotic
Factors
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide is needed for photosynthesis, a process in which plants create their food using sunlight and CO2. The Everglades mangrove trees use lots of carbon dioxide.
Carbon
Dioxide
Phosphorous
Phosphorus
High concentrations of dissolved phosphorous is an issue in the canals of the Everglades. High levels of phosphate cause plants to grow out of control and chokes up waterways.
Nitrogen
The Everglades flow into Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Nitrogen is a signifigant pollutant in the Everglades and as a result it pollutes these major water systems.
