Interactions Within The Environment ISU

Inquiry Question: How do the biotic and abiotic factors interrelate in an ecosystem/biome?

Assignment Summary:
You are a conservation biologist working at a wildlife reserve. You have been asked to
develop a visual map of the interactions, including both biotic and abiotic factors, present within
the ecosystems of the biome represented by your National Park. This informative brochure and
food web display will educate your visitors on the species and other factors that inhabit and
characterize your specific ecosystem/biome.
