In this assignment, you will be creating a trophic pyramid, also known as an "ecological pyramid," for a specific ecosystem within a biome you choose.
Your completed trophic pyramid will be used to identify the trophic levels within the food web, as well as their effects on the ecosystem.
Select a biome and a specific ecosystem within that biome. Select an ecosystem from an area of interest to you. When choosing an ecosystem, be specific. For help differentiating between biomes and ecosystems, review "Biomes and Ecosystems" and "Biomes and Ecosystems the Infographic" found in the topic materials.
You will complete the trophic pyramid by entering the names of the species found in the ecosystem you have selected, that belong to the various trophic levels (e.g., apex predators, tertiary consumers, secondary consumers, primary consumers, and primary producers). Utilize credible sources to select and research your chosen ecosystem, including the textbook and the Internet.
These sources must be peer reviewed and cited. You may find the Terrestial Biome pages helpful. You are encouraged to use the "Biome Explorer" media piece but do not cite the biome explorer.
Use the completed trophic pyramid, as well as the information you have researched, to answer the questions.
There is a 50-word minimum requirement per question. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
