•The garden ecosystem
has three key
components to it
•Producers
•Consumers
•Decomposers
•The main producers in
the garden are plants
•They are able to
produce their own food
from the sunlight
• A producer is an organism
that is self sufficient
• For example, a plant is a
producer because it does
not rely on other
organisms to survive
Primary consumers:
Butterflies, Bees, and
caterpillars
Secondary
consumers:
birds, snakes,
and spiders
• A consumer is an organism
that needs other organisms to
survive.
• Without other organisms there
would be an imbalance in the
food chain
• Consumer does not make its
own food; it eats other
organisms.
The decomposers
consist of bacteria,
fungi, worms, and
insects
• An organism that eats
dead matter/other dead
organisms.
• Without any dead
organisms decomposers
are nothing!
The basic abiotic
factors for a
garden are: Wind,
Soil, Temperature,
Sunlight, rain,
water.
•Abiotic factors can
help your garden
ecosystem
•Abiotic factors can
also be extremely
devastating to your
garden ecosystem
•Theres dozens of
biotic factors to
consider but, here
are the few you
will find in your
own garden
•Birds, insects,
bacteria, plants,
and weeds.
• Biotic factors can also be very
productive
• Depending on how much you
have of each can affect a
garden dramatically
• If you have just enough the
garden will function just fine in
all of the areas it has.
• Bees are very busy workers in
any garden
• They pollinate fruits, flowers,
and vegetables.
• The more diversity of flowers
you have in your garden the
more likely you will have more
bees pollinating consistently.
• Fruits: Almonds, Apples, Apricots,
Avocados, Blueberries, Cherries,
Grapes. Vegetables: Asparagus,
Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery,
Cucumbers, Honeydew. Field Crops:
Alfalfa Hay, Cotton Lint, Cotton Seed,
Legume Seed, Peanuts.
•
Producers, consumers, and
demoposers all need each
other
•
They follow a chain that
would fall apart if one
suddenly disappeared
•
If there was no prodcuers the
consumers would die off
because they need to find
food
•
If there were no producers
and consumers the
decomposers would not be
able to return nutrients back
into the ground
