Are symbiotic relationships part of an ecosystems niche? Please explain…
Why are biomes classified by their plants rather than their animals?
the first one… yes. symbiotic relationships are necessary to continue the cycle of life and to sustain life. if they ceased to exist, the ecosystem would deteriorate rapidly into desert.
and i dont remember about biomes. its cuz they are plants I think
Yes, symbiotic relationships are part of an ecosystem’s niche because mutualism can improve 2 species’ fitness at once and maybe beat out competition through the competitive exclusion principle. Parasitism and commensalism are also important for the same reasons that they will affect the fitness of a species.
Biomes are classified by their plants rather than their animals because… this is just an assumption but most likely because there are migratory animals. It would be hard to classify a biome if it’s characteristics always moved, no? And it’s the vegetation of a biome that determines what animals live there anyway. (:
YES: ONE EXAMPLE IS FLOWING PLANTS AND HONEY BEES. THE FLOWER PROVIDES NECTURETO THE BEE AND THE BEE IN TURE POLLINATED THE FLOWERS
BIOMES ARE CLASSIFIED BY PLANTS BECAUSE THEY ARE STATIONARY; ANIMALS ARE NOT THEY CAN MOVE FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER. AN EX: CARIBU, CANADIAN GEESE, WHALES
