Ecosystem Food Web
In Olympic National Park, there are many components in this ecosystem. They include biotic vs. abiotic; habitats vs. niches, producers vs. consumers.All organisms interact with other organisms in their surroundings and with the nonliving portion of their environment. Their survival depends on these interactions. In Olympic park, the abiotic factors include precipitation, wind, and mountains. For the biotic factors, they include plants and animals. Below in a food web that show which organisms are producers or consumers. We also listed the different relationships that they organisms have with one another.
Google Maps Biomes
In Olympic National park, there are several biomes that are spread throughout the park. One of the most fascinating biomes is the west side temperate rainforest. The landscape mainly consists of Douglas-firs and Sitka spruce trees dominate. Ferns and moss cloak the trees. The rainforest receives large amounts of rain because of the location. This causes the living organisms to live in an environment that is moist and easy to grow in. Another biome is the Alpine areas (mountains). In the Alpine areas, valleys and coast are far below. The trees no longer block views, and jagged, snow-capped peaks rise to the sky. Wiry grasses, sedges and flowers are arrayed in vertical stripes because of the freezing and thawing of thin mountain soils. Lastly, we have the Pacific Coastline. The Pacific Coast contains the Pacific Ocean, which constitutes a natural western border, and the coastal mountain ranges that form the eastern border of the region. The region contains the U.S. states of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and the Canadian province of British Colombia.
