explanation


In Te Ngahere we had to write a explanation about healthy ecosystems. Before we were at that stage we had to learn about how the ecosystems and that was kinda hard. The things that I found challenging was probably the writing. What I need to do better is probably I'm not sure but something.
What is a Healthy ecosystem?
healthy ecosystem has non living and living things. The non living things are water, rocks, sand, shells and salt. The living things  are animals, seaweed and Sea snails. Every one thing in the ecosystem has a job if one bit in the ecosystem gets damaged, the whole thing gets damaged. In a ecosystem must have producers, consumers and  decomposers.


Producers are plants that use the sun for their energy. Producers are important because the consumers eat the producers for energy.  Kelp is a example of a producer.

Consumer are animals that eat plants and  other consumers. For example carpet sharks eat crayfish and they're both consumers. If there wasn't any consumers there would just  be producers. A kina is a example of a consumer.

A decomposer is a thing that breaks down dead matter and eats dead animals. Bacteria eats dead matter and  so that's a decomposer. Bacteria breaks down dead matter.

Ecosystems are  fragile and they can get easily broken. We humans are doing the most damage to ecosystems. For example everyone is overfishing and catching too much snapper and crayfish. So there's nothing to eat the kina so  the kina Is eating too much kelp. It might create a kina baron and there will be no places for fish to hide. The result is that there's no Sea Life in the area because the ecosystem is broken.
