You may cut and paste a water or carbon cycle into your
presentation- however, the cycle should represent your
ecosystem. If you are doing a desert ecosystem, your
water/carbon cycle should reflect that.
You also need to write an explanation of the cycle in
your ecosystem, and explain the important details. For
example:, in the desert, water spends a good deal of time
within plants, and evaporation happens very quickly. Your
explanation should be SPECIFIC to your ecosystem.
