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.
