- Ecosystems
- Ecosystems can be any size
- Local (a small scale ecosystem such as a pond, also known as a habbitat)
- Regional (Lake's District moorland)
- Global biomes (South Americas tropical rainforest
- Earth (scientists argue that all of the planet's organisms are linked together
- Food chanins and nutrient cycles
- The biotic (living) community of an ecosystem consists of different plants and animals in different feeding groups.
- Primary Producer(plants): Green plants that use photosynthestis andtake nutrients using their roots
- Primary consumers (herbivores): plant-eating animals eg. cows and rabbits.
- Secondary consumers (carnivores): animals that feed off herbivores eg. foxes or cats
- Top carnivores: animals that will hunt and eat other carnivoresin the ecosystem, as well as the herbivores.

- The importance of nutrient cycling
- al animals and plants depend on nutrients for their health and vitality.
- They occur naturally in the environment and are constantly recycled in every ecosystem.
- How are parts of an ecosystem linked?
- Animals found in woodland include: insects and birds, mammels eg. rabbits, squirrels and foxes.
- Plants provide food and shelter for man animals. Trees, Wild Flowers, grasses, mosses, algae
- Rocks help in the formation of soils and rock type is important. weathering releases rock stored into the rocks back into the ecosytem
- micro-organisms - fungi and bacteria are decomposers - essential. they help break down dead plants and animals - release nutrients into the ecosystem
- sunshine and rain are needed for photosynethesis - essential to an ecosystem.
- soils store water and contain nutrients which plants use. Home to insects and decomposers.
