1 A Tree eco system

2 Eco system

3 Eco system An ecosystem includes all of the living things (plants, animals and organisms) in a given area, interacting with each other, and also with their non-living environments (weather, earth, sun, soil, climate, atmosphere). n an ecosystem, each organism has its' own niche or role to play. Consider a small puddle at the back of your home. In it, you may find all sorts of living things, from microorganisms to insects and plants. These may depend on non-living things like water, sunlight, turbulence in the puddle, temperature, atmospheric pressure and even nutrients in the water for life. (Click here to see the five basic needs of living things)

4 introduction We will be talking about insects and animals the first one will be woodlice

5 WOODLICE That has 14 parts to its body, which gives the woodlouse the flexibility to be able to curl into a ball to protect itself from danger. This means that only the hard outer shell of the woodlouse is exposed . The woodlouse is found in dark, damp places in forests and jungles throughout the world. The woodlouse feeds on decaying leaf and plant matter on the forest floor.

6 Squirrel The second one will be a squirrel

7 squirrel Squirrels are nimble, bushy-tailed rodents found all over the world. They belong to the Sciuridae family , which includes prairie dogs, chipmunks and marmots. they are categorized into three types: tree squirrels, ground squirrels and flying squirrels. These three categories are further broken down into many squirrel types, such as Albino, Mountain Tree, Antelope, Spotted, Grey, American Red, Douglas, Fox, Pygmy, Northern Flying, Southern, Arizona Gray, Idaho, Arctic Ground, Albert’s, Franklin, Richardson, Rock, White and Black squirrel.

8 The next one we will be talking about is owls.

9 Owls There are lots of different types of owls. Most owls are nocturnal. That means that they sleep during day. Owls mostly eat mice or small rodents. Some even eat small birds. Owls have super good hearing and eyesight. When owls fly very silently.

10 The oak tree supports insects: beetles, ladybird, wasps and ants.
Ecosystem The oak tree supports insects: beetles, ladybird, wasps and ants.

11 Ecosystem The oak tree supports many birds who eat the insects and nests in the tree. Owl, Sparrow and Hawk.

12 Ecosystem The oak tree supports small animals such as wood mouse, hedgehog and mouse.

13 Ecosystem The oak tree supports larger animals like the fox. the squirrel, and the badger

14 Lichen grow at the oak tree. Lichen is a living fungi.
Ecosystem Lichen grow at the oak tree. Lichen is a living fungi. The fungi helps rot the dead leaves.

15 Ecosystem Wild flowers grow near the trees such as cowslips, primroses and daffodils.

16 Ecosystem Insects build homes on the tree. Animals shelter in the tree and eat insects. Animals and insects eat the fruit, the bark and the leaves. Birds eat the insects. Birds build nests.

17 The leaves provide a wonderful place for insects to lay their eggs.
Ecosystem The leaves provide a wonderful place for insects to lay their eggs. Such as the butterfly.

18 They eat and store thousands of acorns.
Ecosystem The two types of squirrel ( red squirrel & gray squirrel ) use the trees to build their homes (drey). They eat and store thousands of acorns.

19 The fox uses the tree to catch other smaller animals.
Ecosystem The fox uses the tree to catch other smaller animals.

20 We use the oak to build ships, furniture and pot handles.
Man We use the oak to build ships, furniture and pot handles.

21 The End Thank you for reading Hope you enjoyed Protect our nature
