Food webs
Food webs show us how interconnected the rainforest environment is.
Despite the huge range of plats and animals, the rainforest is a very fragile ecosystem. Plants, animals, bacteria and fungi have a close but fragile relationship with the abiotic factors like the soil, temperature and moisture. Small changes to abiotic or biotic factors can have huge effects on the whole ecosystem. |
