Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Benefits people obtain from ecosystem are called ecosystem services there are four types of ecosystem services:
Provisioning services which include the production of food and water. Regulating services which control the climate change like maintaining air and soil quality and disease control. Supportive services include nutrient cycle and oxygen production and Cultural services: like spiritual and recreational benefits.

Examine the “Lake Inhabitants” sheet for information about the organisms found in the lake. What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the aquatic plants in the lake? What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the bluegill in the lake? Looking at the organisms associated with the lake, organize them into three trophic groups: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Separate the consumers into three subcategories: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Create 3 different food chains found within the lake. Food chain #1 should contain 3 organisms, food chain #2 should contain 4 organisms, and food chain # 3 should contain 5 organisms. The arrows should point in the direction the energy is flowing through the food chain. You can either use the “>” as your arrow or the Insert Symbol function to insert an arrow into your food chains.
