Tree, Biotic Component of Backyard

This photograph shows a tree in the terrestrial ecosystem of my backyard. This tree is a producer. This tree is related to the other biotic factor I captured, the bird, because it provides food, like fruits and seeds, and shelter for the bird. The bird helps the tree by eating harmful insects living on it as well as helping the pollination process. Terrestrial ecosystems, just like aquatic ecosystems, also have abiotic components. However, aquatic ecosystems are affected greatly by runoffs that pollute the water with fertilizers, chemicals, and waste water treatment discharge. This increases the levels of nutrients in the water and could lead to an algal bloom, resulting in the death of plants and animals living in the aquatic ecosystems.
