Taiga
Taiga Food Web.
The producer of this food web is the sun. The primary consumer would be the grass. The secondary consumers that eat the primary consumers would be the moose, mouse, and the bird. The tertiary consumers would be the ones that eat the secondary consumers would be the weasel,wolf,and lynx.
Commensalism
The spider made its web on the organisms horns and the animal neither benefits or is harmed and the spider benifits from this arrangement.
Mutualism
The bee is taking nector from the flower but in return the bee carries pollen unintentionally and when the bee flies off it scatters pollen everywhere and helps pollinate the flowers.
Parasitism
The carpenter ants benifitbfrom this "arrangement" because they have shelter from preditors but the tree is being harmed because the carpenter ants eat holes into the tress to make tunnels and this will eventually make the tree weak and the tree could break or the tree will die.
Positive and Negative Human Impacts on the Taiga Habitat.
Humans can have a good or bad impact on the environment. Here are some positive and negative Human impacts on the Taiga habitat.
•Positive Impacts
•their are over 200 organizations that help protect the Taiga and help create more protected land in the taiga
•they help endangered species
•help protect the people and animals that live there from logging and ensure that the forest it logs from are logged sustainably.
•Negative Impact
•Logging
•Oil and Gas exploration
•Poachers kill many animals for their pelts such as the Siberian tiger,wolf,cougar,caribou,and the moose *etc
My opinion is that humans have a more negative impact than a positive one and we should more to help the animals,people,and the forest. And try to help preserve the habitat.
The Snowshoe Hare
It is very important to this habitat because most predators depend on it to survive
Balsam Fir
This tree is very important to the taiga ecosystem IN the winter the moose depends on this tree for food without it the moose population would decrease.
Lynx
The lynx is very important to the environment because with out the lynx feeding on the snowshoe hare the hare would begin to overpopulate the area
