Ecosystem writing

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about  healthy ecosystems.

First we learnt about what is an ecosystem is and how it works.

I think I did well at describing what  a producer is (producer produces food to get energy).

I need to work on responding properly to my feedback. Hopefully you enjoy my writing.


Here is my writing:



What makes a healthy ecosystem?
                 
An healthy ecosystem has two classes living things and non living things. Producers and consumers are living things , decomposers, sunlight and inorganic matter are nonliving things.

Decomposers are things such as bacteria and fungi, decomposers also break down dead matter. When something dies a decomposer makes it into bacteria or fungi.

Consumers are things like sharks, , kinas, crayfish and also people . Sharks kinas, crayfish's, and people are consumer because they eat other living things.   

Producers are plants that can produces their own energy to grow. When a producer get there energy other animals come to eat the plants so they can get energy, after that it carries on and on.
An ecosystem is very fragile and it can not cope with changes. If the ecosystem gets unbalanced the food chain will also change. For an example at Maitai Bay the kina barren problem there are to many kina and not a lot of crayfish. So if there is two many kina , the problem will get worse and the ecosystem will be unbalanced and the food chain will change!!!
