The wood of white spruce is used primarily for pulpwood and lumber for various construction, prefab houses, mobile homes, furniture, boxes and crates, and pallets. It also is used for house logs, musical instruments, and paddles.  Snowshoe hare eat the needles, bark, and twigs, and mice and voles the seedlings. Chipmunks, chickadees, nuthatches, cross bills, and pine siskins eat the seeds]]> 2018-11-07 18:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301722021 cl423 https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301723451 -Carnivore : primarily wild boar, elk, and deer
-Apex predator 
-Controls population, but are dying off.... huge problem for their ecosystems!]]> 2018-11-07 18:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301723451 vb164 https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301724133 Habitat: Lowland to Mid-Elevation Forests in Western North America and Parts of Asia. The lumber from Douglas Firs is used mostly for buildings and construction purposes. Little animals and birds eat the seeds from the cones. Bears eat the sap layer underneath the bark.]]> 2018-11-07 18:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301724133 cl423 https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301725140 -Omnivore : insects, seeds, bark, nuts, fruits, mushrooms and pine seeds or cones
-Eaten by arboreal predators like Wildcats, but more likely to be eaten by organisms like the Red fox, or even dogs and cats
- Help the forest in its process of renewal. In years of high seed production, they store part of the collected seeds (hazel, beech, chestnut, stone pine, Scots pine, etc.).]]> 2018-11-07 18:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301725140 vb164 https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301725146 Caribou moss grows in arctic and northern regions around the world. It grows on the ground and on rocks. It is actually a lichen. In some areas, it was used as a medicine to treat colds and fevers, and has been proven to contain photochemical to kill staphylococcus.
Animals such as Reindeer and Caribou feed on lichen during the coldest periods of the season. ]]> 2018-11-07 18:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301725146 cl423 https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301726009 -Carnivore : snowshoe hare, birds, or even deer

-Very fews predators, as the eagles are so large and have their own predatory power. However, they can be attacked by some of their prey when they attack nests or feed on eggs
-Eagles compete with cranes and ducks over salmon. Without eagles, the fish population would decrease due to more predators forcing the two birds to look for other food sources and cause the entire ecosystem populations to decrease]]> 2018-11-07 19:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301728543 cl423 https://padlet.com/vb164/x05bf88zgvrz/wish/301729571 -Herbivores: trees!!!
