    A pond ecosystem includes all living organisms (biotic factors) like phytoplankton, zooplankton, larger invertebrates, and vertebrates, as well as non-living (abiotic) factors such as humus, oxygen, light, heat, and minerals. Phytoplankton are single-celled algae that are primary producers, while zooplankton and larger invertebrates eat phytoplankton and each other, serving as primary and secondary consumers. Vertebrates like fish and frogs are tertiary consumers that eat the smaller invertebrates. All of these living things depend on the abiotic factors to survive within the aquatic pond environment

    non-living things(non-biotic) in a specific location .

    The plants and animals that are found in a particular location

    Phytoplankton. Producers
    These are small, usually single-celled, photosynthetic organisms, also known as algae. These are
    basis of Pond Ecosystem
    Primary
    Consumers
    Zooplankton
    These are other small organisms that live in pond , these are members of the animal kingdom tha
    are suspended in the water column.
    Examples - water fleas, tadpoles. They consume phytoplankton
    Secondary
    Consumers
    Larger invertebrates
    Snails, worms, leeches insects consume these smaller animals
    Tertiary
    Consumers
    Vertebrates
    Vertebrates are animals with backbones. In a pond these might include fish, frogs,
    salamanders, and turtles. www.makemegenius.com
