Big Creek Ecosystem

Big Creek Ecosystem In this report I will discuss the relationships and interactions between abiotic and biotic compounds found in big creek. Furthermore I will discuss the two main phenomena, which occur in big creek, this includes energy flow and nutrient cycling. First of all, as a class we found eight organisms that live and grow in the big creek habitat. These organisms are the biotic components that live in big creek. The abiotic components …

…can feed on green algae also. All of the eight organisms found in big creek are vital to that specific ecosystem. As a whole they take sunlight and produce enough energy to sustain their community and then break the nutrients down so they can be reused again and again. In the end the nutrients have been cycled back into the ecosystem and the energy has flowed completely through the ecosystem and back into the atmosphere.
