Biodiversity

Adaptations

• Plant- oxygen transportation, some plants will salt water proof themselves developing a waxy cover that keeps out un-wanted salt.

• Animal- oxygen transportation which means when your submerged under water you can still breath, reduce salt intake, movement methods, camouflage, and traps.

Interactions• Biotic- bacteria, alligator, and the bald eagle. The bacteria

can help keep things clean. The alligator helps keep smaller animals from over populating. The bald eagle helps federalize the ground.

• Abiotic- temperature, soil, cloud cover, and location of ecosystem. The cloud cover determines hoe much sun light plants receive and that effects the photosynthesis. The soil type can determine what kind of plants can live there and that effects what animals can live there. The temperature effects what all can live there. The location effects all aspects of the ecosystem.
