Marine- Marine deals with the Everglades because there is salt water that meets up with fresh

water in the Everglades so this deals a lot with our ecosystem.

Freshwater- Freshwater deals with the Everglades because the Everglades mostly makes up
most of the water supply in the Everglades and comes with the salt water to make estuaries.

Shelters- Shelters deal with the Everglades because there is a lot of species in the everglades
and shelters are spread across because there is a big food chain and other animals need to
hide to survive.

Space- In the everglades there is almost little space or a lot of space sometimes because
everglades is a really big area. This correlates to everglades because animals can either
survive longer or shorter depending on the amount of space they have.

Food- Food in the everglades can be widely available sometimes or in a drought this correlates
to the everglades because many animals need a lot of food near them to survive and this will be
changed a lot because of how big the everglades is in size.

Energy- Energy is used to keep a animal thinking and alive and this correlates with the Energy
Pyramid in the Everglades because it sometimes will change and without this energy a lot of
animals will die.

Photosynthesis- Photosynthesis is related to the everglades a lot because there is a lot of plants
in the water called mangroves which make up the majority of plants and these create the
majority of the oxygen let off.

Producer- There are many producers in the everglades which produce their own food in the
everglades they help feed the others organisms out there.

Consumer- There are many consumers in the everglades they make up the majority of
organisms in the everglades and take up the biggest part in the ecosystem.

Decomposer- There are quite a few decomposers which help decompose the dead bodies that
are found from the big animal population this helps make the soil rich.

Heterotrophs- Heterotrophs make up a big part too in the everglades because there are many
small organisms who feed off the bigger organisms energy to keep their self alive.

Autotroph- Many autotrophs are in the water parts of the everglades and these help feed the
herbivores of the everglades and keep the environment very balanced.

Relationship- There are many relationships in the everglades because smaller organisms use
the bigger organisms to survive and the big organisms sometimes use the smaller organisms to
survive.
Omnivores- Omnivores in the everglades help balance both sides of the populations because
they eat both plants and animals which helps the everglades ecosystem keep balance.

Carnivores- Carnivores in the everglades are quite common because its mostly water and the
bigger organisms like the crocodiles kill the smaller organisms who come near which keep the
population of the smaller organisms at low.

Algae- Most of the algae in the everglades are in estuaries which help support the growing sea
life and give food to the organisms and do photosynthesis which help keep the ecosystem and
balance but could sometimes break it.

Wetlands- Wetlands make up the majority of the everglades and support most of the life too this
has a big role in the everglades ecosystem.

Fish- There is a lot of fish in the everglades which help support the carnivores in the water and
keep them alive these fish also can be parasites to other fish and lower their population.

Amphibians- Amphibians are just like the fish but there is more over all like frogs and other
smaller animals these help feed the fish and help feed the bigger carnivores.

Aquifer- In the everglades there are some big aquifers which give place drinking water and help
give other animals fresh water this help keeps our country and ecosystem in balance.

Flora- Flora is plants in the everglades and some of these plants can be rare due to other
organisms and Flora is every plant so there can be different types of Flora.

Mangrove- Mangroves are very much found in the everglades because the everglades has a lot
of brackish water and a lot of Mangroves thrive in this water.

Endangered- Endangered species are found in the Everglades because of some of the
Parasites that help pick them off one by one this is why there are zones where they animals
cant get touched.

Invasive Species- These animals help turn these animals endangered by overflowing a certain
area and taking over another species which help turn animals endangered.

Marsh- The Florida Everglades is one of the biggest marshes out there which host many of the
abiotic and biotic factors of the ecosystem.

Estuary- The estuaries in the everglades host many of the growing organisms and the algae
that helps them grow without these there wouldnt be much reproduction of certain species and
algae in the florida everglades.
River Basin- The river basins in the everglades help control flood control which help keep the
ecosystem from being unbalanced.

Infestation/Infested- Many places in the everglades get infested by overpopulated organisms

which causes bad things to the environment like ruining the food chain and energy pyramid.

Bacteria- Bacteria in the everglades also do photosynthesis and help young organisms thrive
like algae without them the everglades would not have a balanced environment.

Host- Many Hosts usually don't get benefits from having a parasite on them but some do with
these Bad/Good factors it can help a Host thrive or Deprive in the everglades and can raise or
lower a population.

Effect- Effects are quite frequent in the everglades because of Abiotic factors such as
hurricanes this will sometimes wreck a whole area.

Affect- Affects in the Everglades are quite frequent because many animals and abiotic factors
do a lot of bad things to the everglades environment.

Food Web- The food web in the Everglades is quite normal not because of the size of the
everglades but because of the diversity of organisms within it it usually goes from small to big
but the invasive species usually get the top now that theyre a lot of them.

Niche- There is a big niche for each organism in the Everglades because they all have a
purpose and a cause as much as the other because without one the other one would be
useless.

Herbivores- There are big and small herbivores in the Everglades each one of these herbivores
eat the constantly growing sawgrass to keep them from invading their water area and help keep
the population in balance.

Food Chain- A Food chain is how each living thing gets their food this relates to the everglades
because this shows how much energy a certain organism can get off their prey.

Water Supply- Water supply in the everglades is a lot in certain places but in other places it is
not and there is certain laws to preserve water supplies in the Everglades areas.

Energy Pyramid- The Energy pyramid is how much energy is distributed throughout the Food
Chain and how much is received to each organism by the time they receive it.

Trophic Level- Is the position that an Organism occupies in a Food Chain and many of the
Invasive species usually have the higher position in this Trophic Level.
Drought- Droughts in the everglades can be quite common because of florida's tropical climate
this will hurt many of the animals and plants during this drought period.

Acidification- Acidification in the Everglades effects many of the marine plant life and the
estuaries because it reduces the pH levels this causes bad things to come if this happens on a
bigger scale.

Ecosystem- The Everglades is the ecosystem I dont know what more to say.

Organism- There are many organisms in the Everglades which affect the ecosystem a lot more
than the abiotic factors.

Species- A group of living organisms that consist of the same individuals. These species help
work together to keep themselves alive or just to hunt the others.

Population- A Population is a group of same organisms are species. These populations work
together to build the community in the everglades.

Community- All the populations living and interacting with the environment make up the
community of the everglades. These communities have different abiotic and biotic factors that
affect them and keep the Ecosystem well rounded and made up because of all the ecosystems.

Parasite- A Parasite is a organism that feeds off a Host to keep themselves alive it may help or
not help the host out but it will keep the parasite feeding off it alive until the host dies or the
parasite dies.

Biotic- Biotic is all living things. Everglades is made up of many biotic things that help keep each
other alive and help the Ecosystem survive when there is a bad disaster going on in the
everglades.

Carbon Cycle- The carbon cycle makes a great impact in the environment by moving carbon
dioxide through the atmosphere. Producers in the everglades take in carbon dioxide during this
process to make carbohydrates in photosynthesis, then the carbon compounds are passed to
the animals by eating plants.

Nitrogen Cycle- The nitrogen cycle moves throughout the whole everglades and is very useful
because plants and animals cant live without nitrogen. Nitrogen is needed by the plants in the
everglades so they can meet the requirements to make food and energy. The animals will need
this so they can make things like amino acids,proteins, and DNA.

Oxygen Cycle- The oxygen cycle plays a very important role here in this ecosystem. The plants
in the everglades take in the carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, this gives the animals in the
ecosystem air to breathe then they give off carbon dioxide, in an endless cycle.
Overpopulation- There is overpopulation of burmese pythons and they are taking over the
everglades. These snakes are devastating all types of wildlife in this ecosystem and they are a
major problem.

Coexistence- The landscape of the everglades provide good habitat to a variety of plants and
animals, they are hotspots of diversity.

Cooperation- cooperation is the ability of organisms working together to accomplish a task. This
is important for survival of animals that work in packs like vultures and insects.

Biomass- biomass gives you an idea of the state the everglades is in. Also you can know how
much energy is available in this type of ecosystem and the amount species it could support.

Carrying Capacity-Carrying capacity is important in the everglades because if there is not

enough food or space a lot of animals will die. Fortunately the ecosystem is big enough to have
hundreds of different animals and species.
