Measuring Biotic Factors in an Ecosystem Review
1) Name and describe an ecosystem of which you have made a special study.
2) Draw a food chain that you would find in that ecosystem.
3) Assume that the producer in your ecosystem stores 20,000 J/m2 of biomass. How much food energy
would be available to the 3rd trophic level?
4) State one way you could you identify an unknown species in this ecosystem.
5) How would you estimate the population of a non motile species in this ecosystem?
6) Use this method to estimate the number of dandelions per square meter in the ecosystem.
7) How would you estimate the number of pill bugs in the ecosystem?
8) Explain how you would calculate plant diversity in the ecosystem.
9) Calculate the diversity of the ecosystem. Measure 3 separate areas and average.
