Snowy is my favorite dog. It is Chinese breed. Snowy is small, fluffy, and cute. It
has thick white fur. When, I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Snowy does not like bones. Every

An ecosystem is a community of living things interacting with each other and its
surroundings. It can be anything from a piece of rotting wood to a huge swamp.
In every ecosystem, each organism depends on another. When vegetation colonizes
an area, the first plants to grow there are small and simple, such as mosses and lichens.
Grass and sedges appear next. The simple plants stabilize the soil so that bigger and more
complex plants can move in. This is called vegetation succession.
Rainforest ecosystems cover only 8% of the world’s plant and animal species.
Green plants are autotrophs, or producers, which mean they make their own food. Animals
are heterotrophs, or consumers, which mean they get their food from other living things.
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants. Secondary consumers are carnivores that
eat herbivores or each other.
Farming has a huge effect on natural ecosystems. It reduces the number of species
dramatically.
