Mangroves Biology Diagrams Choose your language. EN. FR These food chains show the many trophic levels within the mangrove ecosystem and how energy is passed through the biological community. For example the autotrophic feeders in this ecosystem such as the grey mangrove provide a food source for the succeeding heterotrophic feeders such as gastropods.
Interesting Facts About Mangrove Forest Food Webs. ๐ฟ Mangroves are nurseries for fish: Many fish species, including some commercial ones, rely on the intricate root systems of mangrove forests for nursery grounds, where they are protected from predators and find abundant food during their early life stages. ๐ฆ Detritus-based food web: The mangrove ecosystem is largely fueled by detritus As you can see, leaves dropped from the mangrove trees and small benthic animals are the bottom of the food chain, and, passing through, usually, a few layers of nekton, like fish or lobsters, ultimately make it to wading birds, like egrets. This is another example of a food chain in a mangrove forest. Powered by Create your own unique

PDF EXPLORING THE MANGROVES FOOD WEB Biology Diagrams
Mangroves provide food. Mangrove forests are part of an ecosystem that supports abundant life through a food chain that begins with the trees (Figure 8). The leaves of a mangrove plant, like those of all green plants, use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide gas to organic compounds (carbohydrates) in a process called photosynthesis.
