- Trophic Cascade Concept Map Primary Producers: Include at least two different types of primary producers (plants, algae, or other autotrophs) in the ecosystem. Herbivores: Identify herbivores that feed on the primary producers you chose or invented. Include 2 different species that might consume your primary producers Primary and/or Secondary Carnivores Introduce at least 2 carnivores that prey on herbivores or other carnivores. Demonstrate a cascading effect on the ecosystem. Biotic Interactions-Highlight various biotic interactions, such as mutualism, competition, and especially predation, among different organisms in the community.arrow_forwardDescribe feeding relationships and energy flow, and use them to identify trophic levels and navigate food websarrow_forwardCreate a simple food web illustration that represents a herd of cows in a farm.
