Chapter 5: Ecosystems (Energy, patterns, and disturbances - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Conditions contributed to production of the fire that burned for several months
        
        AFTER: abundance of colonizing species such as:
        ~Fire Weed (withstands fire)
        ~Strong seeds
        ~quickly reproducing plants
        -new plants (that require fire) + animals
        
        Closing arguments: - Fire BELONGS in Yellowstone, unless it will affect nearby population/property
- - - - Aquatic (reverse from terrestrial)
        1) Biomass of Large Fish
        2) Biomass of Small Fish
        3) Biomass of Zooplankton
        (CONSUMERS)
        4) Biomass of phytoplankton (PRODUCERS)
      - Terrestrial
        4) Biomass of Third Order Consumers
        3) Biomass of Carnivores
        2) Biomass of Herbivores
        1) Biomass of All producers
    - - Producers
        
        Autotrophs: PRODUCE organic compounds for survival
        
        Chemotrophs: produce inorganic molecules to gain energy
      - Consumers
        
        Heterotrophs: CONSUME organic materials for survival
  - - - AQUATIC:
        5) Polar Bear
        4) Ringed Seal
        3) Zooplankton
        2) Small Fish
        1) phytoplankton, ice biota
  - - - 3 CATEGORIES
- - - - TYPES (3)
        
        1) PRIMARY: lacking plants/soil which it is invaded by plants when soil is formed
        
        2) SECONDARY: an area cleared by disturbance, then reinvaded by plants +animals from OTHER ECOSYSTEMS
        
        3) AQUATIC: eroded soil particles OR plant detritus build up in ponds/lakes (soil eventually fills them up. ex: beavers, humans, natural occurrences
