These consumers eat each other and primary consumers
Secondary and Tertiary Consumers
These are a very small part of the environment

Shrubs and small animals
Secondary Succession stage 4
How do humans alter/impact the nitrogen cycle?
It can be any of the following

These consumers consume plants
Primary Consumers
What determines a world biome? NEED ALL 5.
the climate of the region, the location where each biome is found, its geography, the special adaptations of the vegetation, the types of animals found in the biome, and their physical and behavioral adaptations to their environment.
This becomes more common over long periods of time as the offspring that has the best "survival of the fittest" becomes more common.
Favorable Traits
What term is it:
The gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time
Ecological Succession

Fixation, Nitrification, Assimilation, Ammonification, and Denitrification
