Waterlilies!
"Water Lilies" by Claude Monet (1907); Oil on Canvas
1. The renewable resources present in this painting are water, flowers/ plants, and sunlight.
2. The intermediate renewable resources that are present are sunlight and water.
3. The fields of study that can be represented and related to the painting are the areas of ethics, ecology and even atmospheric science.
4. On the continuum from ecocentric to anthropocentric, this artists' viewpoint can be considered ecocentric because it is showing an ecosystem in its natural state without human involvement or interruption.
5. The possible level of human influence can possible be considered low to moderate because, once again there is not any human presence, but the water can possibly contain some pollution from man.
6. The energy flow in this piece can be interpreted as going from Producer (phytoplankton) --> primary consumer (zooplankton)-->secondary consumers (fish and tadpoles)--> tertiary consumers (frogs and birds)-->decomposers (bacteria that can be found in the water)
7. The biome that is depicted in this painting is that of an aquatic system because the water temperature, salinity, dissolved nutrients, and the light levels that is regulated by the force of the sun, will all affect the pond and the way that it functions.
8. One of the biogeochemical cycles that can be observed in this landscape is the water cycle. Obviously there is water present. meaning that the water can transport nutrients, sediments and even pollutants across the pond to different surrounding areas. The water will eventually evaporate and cycle through the atmosphere over and over again, even the lilies can provide additional nutrients.
9. The food web that is depicted may go a little something as follows: soil/ underwater sediment-->phytoplankton-->algae-->lilies-->flowers-->fish-->frogs-->birds
10. An example of succession in this painting can be the dying off of algae, lilies, plants, and phytoplankton, which will eventually lead to the growth of more zooplankton which can lead to the water being filled with organic matter and the emergence and development of a terrestrial system.
