trophic

This photo represents a trophic interaction between plants and the rest of the ecosystem. It is hard to tell why the growth of theis plant has been limited, may have been by herbivores or self-limiting.

I believe the most influential species in this environment are the green leafy plants. I believe this as they are the most populous and seem to be thriving even with all the human impacts on this environment. If they were removed from this environment, the hard wood trees may thrive but, all other organisms would either die or leave the area. The three organisms I chose were green leafy plants, which are limited mostly by themselves, flowering plants, which are limited by pollinators and seed dispersal, and the third was a flying insect which I limited by predation.
