Ecosystem Dynamics

Explore patterns of change for the different communities in the temperate biome: fields, forest, and wetlands. Identify how organisms relate with one another (predation, mutualism, competition, dependency, and parasitism) and revisit how organisms are adapted to their environment and how energy moves through trophic levels.
