Ecosystems
The plants and animals that are found in a particular location are referred to as an ecosystem. These plants and animals depend on each other to survive. In a delicate balance, these life forms help to sustain one another in regular patterns. Disruptions to an ecosystem can be disastrous to all organisms within the ecosystem

Biomas
Scientists discuss some
general ecosystem types.
They call them biomes. A
biome is a large area on
the Earth's surface that is
defined by the types of
animals and plants living
there. A biome can be
partially defined by the local
climate patterns. You may
also have more than one
type of biome within a
larger climate zone. Here is
a short list of possible
biomes.
Tropical Rainforest (Thinkabout Brazil)- Tropical Savanna (Thinkabout Africa)- Desert (Think about themiddle east)- Mediterranean Woodland (Think about coniferousforests)- Mid-latitude Grassland(Think about Oklahoma)- Mid-latitude DeciduousForest (Think about the eastcoast of North America)- Tundra (Think about frozenplains of Alaska)- Ice Caps (Think about thepoles)

Niches
1] is a term describing the
relational position of a
species or population in its
ecosystem to each other;
e.g. a dolphin could
potentially be in another
ecological niche from one
that travels in a different
pod if the members of
these pods utilize
significantly different food
resources and foraging
methods
