Global Ecosystem Glog Introduction: The purpose of this activity is for you to examine the dynamics of a global ecosystem in order to better understand niches and community interactions that take place in other parts of the world. Begin by choosing an ecosystem somewhere in the world outside of the United States. Once you have chosen an ecosystem, collect information on resources, energy flow, niches, symbiotic relationships, and predator-prey relationships and compile it into a glog that meets the following requirements and guidelines. Requirements: 1) Your glog should include a food chain that has at least four trophic levels. At each trophic level, the type of consumers or producers involved (primary producer, carnivore, omnivore, herbivore, detrivore, decomposer, scavenger) should be identified. 2) Identify at least five resources used by organisms in this ecosystem and also explain whether organisms compete for those resources or partition them. 3) Identify and explain at least two symbiotic relationships found in the ecosystem. 4) Choose one species that lives in the ecosystem and describe the niche of that species in detail. 5) Identify and explain at least two predator-prey relationships.

Global Ecosystem Glog

Introduction: The purpose of this activity is for you to examine the dynamics of a global ecosystem in order to better understand niches and community interactions that take place in other parts of the world. Begin by choosing an ecosystem somewhere in the world outside of the United States. Once you have chosen an ecosystem, collect information on resources, energy flow, niches, symbiotic relationships, and predator-prey relationships and compile it into a glog that meets the following requirements and guidelines.

Requirements: 1) Your glog should include a food chain that has at least four trophic levels. At each trophic level, the

type of consumers or producers involved (primary producer, carnivore, omnivore, herbivore, detrivore, decomposer, scavenger) should be identified.

2) Identify at least five resources used by organisms in this ecosystem and also explain whether organisms compete for those resources or partition them.

3) Identify and explain at least two symbiotic relationships found in the ecosystem.

4) Choose one species that lives in the ecosystem and describe the niche of that species in detail.

5) Identify and explain at least two predator-prey relationships.

Guidelines: Make your glog visually appealing by incorporating many visuals Make your glog interactive by adding links, videos, or animations Arrange your glog in a manner that is well organized and easy to follow
