Trophic level

My trophic interaction is a leaf worm eating dead leafs and other dead organic material.

 

At my location i think the most influecial species is the sugar maple tree becasue it is the most abundant as well as provides most of the food for the species in the area. This is becuase it provides leaves for the worms to eat as well as organic matter for other plants to grow in. Also the organic matter provides food for bugs to eat which in turn provides food for creatures that eat the bugs.

 

If you removed the sugar maple ther would be no tree cover as well as no dead organic mattter.

 

If you replaced the sugar maple with an invasive species you might see the take over of the forest by that species or you might see the take over of that species on the forest floor.

 

If you look at my first organism you will see it is there to eat the decaying organic material and to feed out competing species. My second organism is there to provide organic material as well as cover to some species. My last organism is organism 4 which is there because it is a disturbed area that is vulnerable to invasive species.
