Food web



Today, I'm going to tell you about this food web.



The producers of this food web are plants; they can produce their own food. The first-order consumers are nematodes, fungi and bacteria. The high-order consumers are birds, animals and arthropods. The decomposers are bacteria and fungi. After an organism dies, they rot and gets, well, decomposed by the decomposers (i.e. fungi & bacteria). The 2 spieces which compete each other for food are birds and animals (maybe). The 2 spieces which doesn't have a preadator are birds and animals.


That was Part A, so I wasn't finished yet. This is Part B:

If the foxes disappeared, then the rabbits will over-populate and the grass might be extinct. If the predaceous insects disappeared, then the toads will all die out or have to eat something else. If the spiders disappeared, then the predaceous insects' population will stay the same because the spider isn't the only preadator of the predaceous insect. If the foxes & snakes disappeared, then nothing will happen to the hawks & owls because nothing's connected to them & the foxes (maybe). The population of the foxes will decrease if the population of the hawks & owls increases because the hawks & owls eat the same types of food as the foxes. The 2 speices which compete with each other for food are foxes & hawks. 2 of the first-order consumers are rabbits and seed eating birds. 2 of the preadators are spiders and toads.

My Project


In our school, we have a new project on Ecology. Ecology is all about food chains and how things survive as you know... My group has this great project and it is about a decomposition chamber and how it decomposes (rots)!! Isn't it fun?? It basically looks like a Cola bottle without the top and has dirty stuff in it. But it's not. At the bottom layer, there is sand and over that is a layer of soil (dirt). Then there's another layer of organic material and another layer of inorganic material. And there's another layer of organic material on top and another of inorganic and it finishes off with a layer of organic material.

Welcome to my blog!

Hi, I'm Riolu, and I live in Alaska. I have a twin brother whose a cyborg called Lucario. He was in a space shuttle crash so he had to have 300 operations and got turned into a cyborg. I still love him though. Yes, I am gay, so what? Never mind... Have a nice day, visitors.
P.S., did I mention that I almost won the Nobel prize for curing cancer? Never mind... it was unsuccessful anyway. The patient I experimented on had his head exploded so I got kicked out of the place.
P.P.S., I also had a little sister called Phione, but she got strangled by my pet dragon Aipom. That was sweet... I hated her so much, even as soon as I was born (or maybe when she was). I love Aipom too because he killed my sister and burned the corpse so my mom couldn't find out. And you wouldn't want to see my mom angry, 'cause she's really SCARY!!!
