Apexia is a planet that was discovered 2,000
light years away from Earth. It is said that
there is only one biome in the entire planet!
That biome is temperate rainforest. Apexia is
a home to many animals such as the cougar,
bear, lynx, mouse, deer and many more
amazing animals. Apexia could be a salvation
to all the remaining temperate rainforest
animals in Earth.

The Black Bear and the Lynx compete with
each other for salmon. (Food)

Black Bears compete with other Black Bear
for a partner. They will usually fight until
someone surrenders.
The fungi and the earth worm are considered
decomposers because they break up the dead
organisms. So they basically decompose all the
organic materials.
This is the King Vulture. He is considered a scavenger
because he eats meat from dead animals. For example, if
he sees a dead deer he will go down and eat the rests of
it.
When the wood pecker eats seeds it is considered mutualism
because the seeds are dropped by and new plants grow and the
bird gets food to survive.
An example of commensalism is when an owl or a woodpecker makes a nest on a tree.
It is commensalism because the birds benefit and the tree isn't hurt.
Another example of commensalism is when a king vulture eats something that is
dead. It is an example of commensalism because the vulture gets a free meal and the
dead animal is not hurt because he is already dead.
An example of predation is between the bear and the salmon. It is considered
predation because the bear has to kill the salmon to feed himself.
Another example of parasitism is the lice with the deer. It is an example of
parasitism because the lice gets food but the deer is getting harmed.

The most important abiotic factors in Apexia is
oxygen, temperature, water and sunlight.
Oxygen is really important because it lets the
animal live by breathing. Temperature is also
really important for Apexian animals because
they would adapt easily to other biomes. Water
is another important abiotic factor because it is
food for animals. Lastly, the sunlight is really
important because it makes plants grow and it
gives animals energy to continue living their
life's.

Apexia is home to many biotic factor. The
biotic factors in this planet are producers,
decomposers, 1st level consumers, 2nd level
consumers, 3rd level consumers and
scavengers. Thanks to all these biotic factors
a biome can sustain its balance of animals
and plants.
