Tropical Rainforest

biodiversity in tropical rainforest

This picture of the rainforest shows biodiversity because it shows all of the variety of both biotic and abiotic factors in the rainforest.

Biodiversity

Biotic factors

Biotic factors are all living organisms. Some biotic factors of the tropical rainforest can include tigers, jaguars, snakes, frogs, and toucans.

Biotic factors

Abiotic factors

Abiotic factors are the opposite of biotic factors. Abiotic fcators are things that are non living things in an ecosystem. This can include water, rocks, and soil.

Abiotic factors

tropical rainforest

community

This picture represents a community by including all living things that interact to create a stable environment

Community

organisms (plants) that supply their own nutrients and are at the bottom of the food chain

producers/autotrophs

the autotrophs of this environment are the trees, bushes, flowers, vines , etc

herbivores and primary consumers are next after producers. These are the organisms that eat the produces. This can include sloths, monkeys, and deer.

herbivores/ primary consumers

Carnivores/secondary consumers

Carnivores/secondary consumers

Carnivores, also knows as secondary consumers only eat meats. Some carnivores that are in the rainforest are tigers, jaguars and pumas.

Omnivores

Omnivores are organisms that eat both plants and animals. In the rainforest you can find that wild pigs, squirrels, and racoons.

Omnivores

Scavengers

Scavengers a term for an animal that feeds on another animal or dead plant material. Scavengers in the rainforest include king vultures, army ants, giant millepedes

Decomposers

Decomposers have one of the most important jobs in any food chain. A decomposer decomposes another organism(organic material) into inorganic material. Decomposers in the rainforest include scorpions, slugs, termites, worms, and fungi.

rainforest food web

carnivores: snakes

secondary consumers/ omnivores: birds, monkeys

food chain

primary consumers:

butterflies, ants, beetles

producers/autotrophs: grasses, flowers, fruit, bamboo

rainforest food chain

food chain

An example of a food chain in the rainforest consists of plants being the producer at the bottom of the food chain, butterflies being the herbivores that eat the plants, birds being the carnivores that eat the butterflies, and the panthers at the top of the food chain that eat the birds.

renewable resources

renewable resources are resources that are naturally and produced. Some natural resources in the rainforest are fruits like bananas, avocados, guavas, cocoa and coffee beans.

O2 and CO2

Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis for not the plants but for the other organisms in the region. Plants strive off of carbon dioxide which is emitted by animals in the region. Cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals. This is when living organisms break down nutrients from food and it is turned into energy.

Oxygen & Carbon

limiting factors

environment impact

An ecosystems stability, depends on its ability to remain balanced in terms of the population of different species and the amount of resources available to them.

This balance can be easily interrupted by climate change, environmental changes, and even by humans.

limiting factors

A limiting factor is something that effects an ecosystems ability to grow in population. Some limiting factors in this environment include resources available such as food and water, along with the population of different predators in the area.

human effects on ecosystem

Human activity often has a negative impact on biodiversity. One example of this is deforestation for the purpose of industrialization. Deforestation destroys natural habitats, and cause animal species to go extinct.

Human activity can also have positive effects on biodiversity. One example of this is replanting plants such as trees, shrubs, and flowers to replenish the environment and to provide different organisms with a stable habitat.
