A total of about 100 bird species, 70 mammals, and 23 amphibians and reptiles depend on sagebrush]]> 2019-02-11 19:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/330054874 91089 https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/330527011 2019-02-12 19:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/330527011 91089 https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/330537049 Some ecological relationships that exist in the original ecosystem. Include, the only prey the Mountain Lion species hunts is the Pronghorn species, therefore, those two species have a specific relationship with each other. Other relationships include the many different animals that rely on plant and vegetation and food and also shelter. Like mostly the primary consumers, such as insects, Pronghorns, and Squirrels and other small rodents]]> 2019-02-12 19:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/330537049 91089 https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/330537208 Some important figures or species in the original ecosystem are of course the primary producers, because they provide the rest of the food web of energy. But, another important species would be the Badger, mainly all the primary and secondary consumers help feed these animals. And from there, the Badger is not a prey for any tertiary species ]]> 2019-02-12 19:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/330537208 91089 https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/331011934 Doing farther research concluded that the affect of Cheat grass has on the original ecosystem,would have a negative affect on the ecosystem. This species not only is bad for wildlife like grouse, mule deer, rabbits, and etc. that rely on intact sagebrush steppe for survival. But, is also bad for ranchers who are battling this invasive weed and for anyone living in areas where cheat grass- fueled fires burn]]> 2019-02-13 19:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/331011934 91089 https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/331012231 Predictions for the nonnative species (Cheat grass) affecting the original ecosystem. Overall, the affect would be that the Cheat grass would act as a another form of a producers, where primary consumers would graze off of and gather energy]]> 2019-02-13 19:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/331012231 91089 https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/331013272 The nonnative species that was introduced the original ecosystem was the Cheat grass (or known as Downy Brome) species. Native to the Mediterranean region and was introduced to the United States in the 1800's. This plant is hardy and grows rapidly, mostly found on land that has been disturbed by cattle grazing, farming, or other uses. This plant is unpalatable and may injure livestock because it forms sharp-edged seed clusters. Cheatgrass is also highly flammable. And is currently affecting more than 100 million acres in the United States]]> 2019-02-13 19:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/331013272 91089 https://padlet.com/91089/gz8tn7djxrk7/wish/331152864 Food Web Image- https://www.pinterest.com/pin/74520568807495693/
