A side of the rice field ecosystem

Because observing all sides takes a long time, it is necessary for the stages, from one side to another. Every stage, or on each of the observed sides, is a pleasure.

Rice field ecosystem is one of terrestrial ecosystems, which is only found on land, and also includes artificial, because it was formed by humans to meet their food needs. Quickly, there are two types of components in the paddy ecosystem: Biotics, such as primary plants (in this case rice), secondary plants (weeds), and various animals; and Abiotics, such as soil / mud, water, sunlight and so on. Acting as producers in this ecosystem are rice and grass. While consumers consist of several levels. The first level is occupied by plant pests such as caterpillars, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, several species of birds. The second level is the predators of these pests, including: dragonflies, spiders, some birds of prey. At the level above it in the food chain are animals such as snakes, eagles and so on.

The visual that I show here is a rice field environment in which producers (rice and grass) appear and some represent consumers at level one and level two.
